Fast Inventory doesn't ask you to abandon the systems you already run. It connects to your ERP, ecommerce store and third-party software by whichever route each one prefers — Excel import and export for masters and transactions, an intermediate database sync, a REST API, FTP file exchange and EDI for trading partners. Stock stays in step across all of them, with nothing typed twice.
Different systems talk in different ways, so Fast Inventory speaks both dialects. Move data as spreadsheets and scheduled files when a batch is enough, or wire a live connection when stock has to stay current minute by minute. Every route reads and writes the same stock ledger, so however the data travels it lands in one place.
Whichever route the data takes, it maps to the same item master and posts to the same stock ledger. There is no second copy of stock to keep in step by hand.
Every route below reads or writes the same item master and stock ledger, so whichever one you use, the data lands in one place rather than a separate copy to reconcile later.
Nobody wants to type a catalogue by hand. Excel import loads your item master and opening stock at go-live, and pulls transactions in from a sheet, so a spreadsheet you already keep becomes clean data in Fast Inventory. Export runs the other way — stock, movements and reports out as spreadsheets for analysis or for another system to read. The same ledger, in and out, in the format most teams already live in.
When a batch file isn't fast enough, wire a live link. The REST API lets an ecommerce store or ERP read stock on hand and post receipts and issues as they happen, and the intermediate database sync exchanges the same data through a shared staging table on a schedule. Both keep stock current without a manual step, so what the connected system shows and what the store shows never fall a day behind.
Most operations already run an ERP, an ecommerce platform and a handful of partner systems, and none of them are going away. Because Fast Inventory's connectors are generic rather than tied to one vendor, it slots into what you have: FTP and EDI for the systems that expect files and documents, the API and database sync for the ones that want a live link. Stock accuracy becomes the one thing every system reads from — and nothing has to be re-keyed to keep it true.
Load items, opening stock and transactions from spreadsheets, and export stock, movements and reports back out — the format most teams already keep their data in.
Exchange masters and transactions through a shared staging table on a schedule, so a database-driven ERP and Fast Inventory keep each other current.
Read current stock on hand and post movements programmatically, so an ecommerce store or ERP stays live with inventory in near real time.
Drop and pick up files on a schedule for systems that expect a file rather than a live call — a hands-off batch route.
Trade standard electronic documents with customers and suppliers, so Fast Inventory fits a supply chain that already runs on EDI.
Every route reads and writes the same item master and stock ledger, so there is one number for stock rather than copies drifting apart across systems.
In a 30-minute demo we'll import an item master from Excel, read stock over the API and drop a day-end file — one ledger, connected to the systems you already run.
