Retailers, distributors and traders live on stock going in and out all day. Fast Inventory keeps it accurate: receive against a PO with a check, sell and dispatch on a barcode scan, watch reorder levels, run stock across every store and branch, and book a sales return that debits the invoice automatically — so what the system says is what is on the shelf.
Cartons come in and get signed off in a rush. Short deliveries, wrong items and over-supply against the order slip through, and the supplier bill is paid for stock that never arrived.
Without a reorder point on every SKU, the fast movers hit zero before anyone raises a PO, while slow stock ties up cash on the shelf and, for perishables, quietly expires.
Head office runs one number, each store keeps its own book, and a distributor's stock is a phone call away. A transfer between branches goes unrecorded and the totals never tie out.
Goods come back but the credit against the original invoice is done by hand later, if at all — so stock, the customer's account and the returned batch never quite reconcile.
Every SKU follows the same controlled path in and out, whatever you sell — so stock is a running balance changed only at commit points, and every posting leaves a trail you can trust at count time.
Fast Inventory gives retailers, distributors and traders the stock accuracy they keep trying to hold in spreadsheets and Tally alone — with barcode entry, reorder alerts and reconciliation built in.
Book a goods receipt against the supplier's purchase order, so as cartons arrive you match received quantity to the ordered line and verify it before it posts stock. Short, excess and over-supply against the PO are all handled, the on-hand balance rises the moment the receipt is confirmed, and where an item is batch- or expiry-controlled its lot and dates are captured on the way in. Every receipt is built on the shared item master.
Every item and lot carries a barcode, so a sale, a dispatch or a counter issue drops stock on a 1D or 2D/QR scan instead of typing codes. Each issue is a stock movement that lowers the on-hand balance and writes a ledger row, and for perishable lines FEFO puts the nearest-expiry batch out first. Scanning speeds fast-moving counter and warehouse work and cuts wrong-item picks.
Book a customer sales return against the original invoice: the goods come back into stock as a return movement and the customer is debited automatically against that invoice — no separate manual credit note to reconcile later. A batch-controlled return records the lot and its expiry, so damaged or near-expiry goods can be held on quarantine instead of resold. On the shared Fast Suite ledger, stock and the customer account move together.
Every item carries a minimum (reorder point) and maximum level. The reorder-level dashboard flags each SKU that has dropped to or below its minimum so you raise a PO before it sells out, and WhatsApp and email alerts push the same list to the buyer. Stock is held per store, branch, warehouse and distributor, so reports show on-hand and value by location — and fast-, slow-moving and ABC analysis tell you which SKUs earn the tightest discipline.
Cycle-count or take a full physical count on a scanner: the count shows book quantity against counted quantity and records the variance only — a count never changes stock by itself. Post an adjustment for the variance and the balance reconciles with a ledger trail. Valuation, stock-ledger, aging and item-by-location reports value what you hold, and a Tally stock-journal link keeps the books aligned without double entry.
Every SKU with codes, barcodes, UOMs, tax group, cost and sales price, valuation method and min/max reorder levels, grouped and categorised for the whole catalogue.
Goods receipt, sales and dispatch issue, sales and material return, stock transfer between branches and gate pass — each posting a running balance and an immutable ledger row.
Batch and expiry tracking for perishable lines, an expiry-window dashboard, FEFO issue that skips expired lots, and hold/quarantine for damaged or near-expiry stock.
1D and 2D/QR barcodes on items and lots for scan-based receipt, sale, dispatch, transfer and counting, with shelf and carton label printing built in.
Cycle, perpetual and annual counts on a scanner, book-vs-physical variance capture, and reconciliation by a single stock adjustment with a full ledger trail.
Stock ledger, item-by-location stock, valuation, aging, fast-, slow-moving, ABC and reorder reports — plus reorder and near-expiry alerts over WhatsApp and email.
Yes. A goods receipt matches received quantity to the ordered line and is verified before it posts stock, so short, excess and over-supply are caught — and batch and expiry are captured on the way in.
Yes. Every item and lot carries a barcode, so receipt, sale, dispatch, transfer and counting run on a 1D or 2D/QR scan, and the same barcodes print as shelf and carton labels.
Each item carries a min and max level. The reorder dashboard flags every SKU at or below its minimum, and WhatsApp and email alerts push the list to the buyer to raise a PO in time.
Yes. Stock is held per location, with an item-by-location report and stock transfers that move quantity between stores with no net change — each leg on the immutable ledger.
Book it against the original invoice: goods return to stock and the customer is debited automatically, and a batch-controlled return can be quarantined instead of going back on the shelf.
