Most businesses buy a second inventory product the moment their stock stops looking simple — a lot-traced batch here, a subcontractor there, a warehouse that isn't theirs. Fast Inventory doesn't work that way. Locations, stores and stock rules are configuration, not hardcoded logic, so the same engine runs a straightforward retail shop, a lot-traced pharma warehouse and a 3PL holding other people's goods. Pick the scenario that matches how you actually hold stock — cloud or on-premise, India and worldwide.
Each solution below is the same Fast Inventory — the same item master, movement engine and immutable ledger — configured for a different way of holding stock. Nothing is bolted on; everything is switched on.
Raw material to WIP to finished goods across production, FG and scrap stores. Issue against consumption or against stock, return unused material, run lot and FIFO where it matters, and post the FG slip that turns WIP into finished stock — all on one ledger.
Explore manufacturing inventoryPO- and sales-driven stock with straightforward in and out. Batch and expiry where you need it, barcode entry, reorder discipline across multiple locations and a distributor network, and sales returns booked against the invoice with an automatic debit.
Explore retail & distributionThird-party warehousing where the stock isn't yours. Client-segregated balances, supplier- and customer-wise visibility including customer-wise location, and warehouse-wise totals — so you always know who owns what, where, and how much.
Explore 3PL & warehousingMaterial sent out for job-work and tracked until it comes back — as finished goods, as unused excess, or as a general return — with work-in-progress visible at the subcontractor's site and every movement on a challan or gate pass.
Explore subcontractor inventoryFull forward and backward genealogy at item and process-code level for pharma, food and other traceability-critical industries — batch-wise tracking, production and expiry dates, FEFO issue and an immutable, optionally blockchain-backed ledger.
Explore traceability inventoryCapital assets, maintenance spares and consumables kept in their own stores and counted the right way for each — barcode-tracked assets, reorder-driven spares and consumption-driven consumables, so a critical spare and a box of gloves aren't managed the same way.
Explore asset & spares inventoryStock segmented by project or by warehouse when one balance isn't enough. Item-by-location cross-reference, reserve stock earmarked to a project, and warehouse-wise totals that still roll up to one company-wide picture.
Explore project & warehouse-wiseTemperature-monitored zones, free-trade-zone stock and ecommerce fulfilment. Zone-aware storage, tight expiry and FEFO control, and duty-status segregation for bonded goods — the special cases most inventory software can't configure for.
Explore cold chain & FTZThe eight solutions above are the headline cases. Underneath, Fast Inventory maps every kind of stock a real operation holds — because the store hierarchy (Plant → Warehouse → Location → Store Location → Bin) and the store types are set up as data, not fixed in code.
Retail, distributor, ecommerce, and supplier- and customer-wise inventory — stock organised by who it came from and who it's going to, across every selling location.
Retail & distributionManufacturing, manufacturing with lot and FIFO, WIP, subcontractor and job-work, packaging material and scrap inventory — every store between raw material and finished goods, including the ones at a vendor's site.
Manufacturing inventoryAsset, maintenance and spares, consumables, gauge and instrument, project-wise, warehouse-wise, and cold-chain or free-trade-zone inventory — the stock that supports operations rather than moving through them.
Asset & spares inventoryOne configurable system, not eighteen products. Whichever way you hold stock, it runs on the same item master, store types and immutable movement ledger — cloud and on-premise, for manufacturers, distributors, traders and 3PL and warehousing businesses across India and worldwide. When directed putaway, picking and handheld execution are needed on top, Fast WMS is the superset that adds them on the very same engine.
