Inventory software FAQs

Inventory management is the process of tracking and controlling your stock levels, sales, and deliveries to ensure you have the right products in the right place at the right time. 

Inventory management system takes the guesswork out of this process, providing real-time updates, automating repetitive tasks, and helping you avoid costly errors like overstocking or running out of stock. It’s a smarter, more efficient way to manage your inventory and keep your business running smoothly.

1. ABC Analysis: this system classifies inventory items into three categories (A, B, and C), based on their value, allowing businesses to prioritise their stock management accordingly.
2. Economic Order Quantity (EOQ): this method finds the best order quantity that minimises total inventory costs, such as holding and ordering costs.
3. Safety Stock: this method involves keeping extra inventory on hand to prevent stockouts and maintain customer service levels.
4. Just-in-Time (JIT): JIT inventory management is designed to minimise the amount of stock held on hand. Businesses order inventory only as needed, reducing the need for storage and lowering the risk of stock obsolescence.

Finding the right inventory software is all about meeting your business’s specific needs. Here’s what to look for:

  • Real-time visibility: choose a stock management system that lets you track inventory levels and movements in real time.
  • Automation: look for tools that automate reordering, low-stock alerts, and other repetitive tasks to save time and reduce errors.
  • Forecasting capabilities: ensure the software provides data-driven insights to help you predict demand and optimise stock levels.
  • Integration options: pick a solution that connects seamlessly with your accounting, sales, or e-commerce platforms.
  • Cloud-based accessibility: opt for online inventory management software to access your stock data anytime, anywhere, for ultimate flexibility and control.

Sage’s inventory solutions tick all these boxes, helping businesses streamline stock management and grow with confidence.
