What is inventory management?

Understand the basic role of products, stock movement, purchasing, locations and sales in an inventory workflow.

Inventory management explained

Inventory management is the process of organizing and monitoring products and stock as goods move through a business.

It connects activities such as receiving products, maintaining stock information, reviewing movement and understanding how sales and purchasing affect inventory.

Why connect inventory with sales and purchasing?

Inventory does not operate independently. Purchasing can bring goods into the business while sales activity can change available stock.

Connecting these workflows helps teams review product movement in the context of the transactions that affect it.

Inventory across locations

Businesses operating from more than one location may need clearer visibility into where products are held and how stock moves through their operation.
