Inventory management software for warehouses: stock by location, status and lot

An inventory management system answers two questions: how much stock there is, and where. In a warehouse the second question decides the first, because a unit in the wrong location, on hold or already allocated is not available to sell. WarePulse keeps stock by warehouse, zone and location, with on-hand, allocated and on-hold quantities on every balance.

On every plan, items track lots and expiry dates and transfer orders move stock between warehouses, and cycle counts keep the record honest on every plan. Items, locations and opening stock import from CSV, inventory exports to CSV, and each item can carry a reorder point, reorder quantity, safety stock and lead time.

Why teams replace their warehouse software

The operating pressure that pushes teams to replace what they have — and what it usually costs to wait.

1

Stock is known by item but not by location, so a picker is sent to look for it.

2

On-hand quantity includes units already allocated or on hold, so sales promise stock that is not free.

3

Lots and expiry dates live on paperwork, not on the stock record.

4

Counts happen once a year, so errors build up between them.

What WarePulse delivers

How WarePulse turns stock control and guided execution into a credible operating model.

Stock by warehouse, zone and location, with on-hand, allocated and on-hold quantities on every balance.

Available stock is on hand minus allocated minus on hold, so held and reserved units are not promised twice.

Lots and expiry dates on balances, receipts, picks and transfers (all plans).

Transfer orders include approval, release and receipt steps, within your plan’s warehouse allowance: Standard one, Pro up to three, Scale up to ten.

Cycle counts on every plan, with blind counting on mobile and a recount above your threshold.

CSV import of items, locations and opening stock, CSV export of inventory, and a write-once audit log kept for seven years.

Built for teams ready to replace their current system

Teams where better stock trust, faster time-to-value, or tighter floor control are already urgent.

Warehouses moving from spreadsheets or an accounting system’s item list to stock by location.

Distributors that need allocated and held stock kept out of what sales can promise.

Teams that need lots and expiry on the stock record (all plans).

Not a fit if you need demand forecasting, bills of materials or assembly; WarePulse manages warehouse stock, not production.

Inventory management or warehouse management?

An inventory management system records how much of each item a business has; a warehouse management system also directs the work that changes it, such as receiving, putaway, picking and counting. WarePulse is a warehouse management system, so its inventory figures are updated by that work as it is done rather than keyed in afterwards.

Load locations before items, so every unit of opening stock has a place.

Decide which items track lots and expiry before the first receipt.

Set reorder points, reorder quantities and safety stock on the items that need them.

Start cycle counts in the first month, not after the first year.

How to move forward

1

Load locations

Import locations from CSV with a code, zone and type, then set their capacity.

2

Load items

Import items from CSV with unit, weight, dimensions and reorder settings, and turn on lot and expiry tracking where needed.

3

Load opening stock

Import opening stock by item and location, with lot numbers and expiry dates for tracked items.

4

Start counting

Configure cycle counts by location or ABC class and count blind on mobile from the first week.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between inventory management software and a WMS?+
Inventory management software records quantities; a WMS also directs the receiving, putaway, picking and counting that change them. WarePulse is a WMS with inventory kept by location.
How does WarePulse calculate available stock?+
On hand minus allocated minus on hold, for each balance. Stock in quarantine locations is also kept out of allocation.
Can we import our current inventory?+
Yes. Items, locations and opening stock import from CSV, including lot numbers and expiry dates for tracked items.
Does WarePulse replace our accounting system?+
No. Accounting stays where it is; WarePulse exports inventory by CSV, and deeper connections are scoped during implementation.

Pick the software path that matches the pressure you feel today.

Start with the question your team asks most: where is it, and why can we not ship it? If the stock record answers that by location and status, the rest follows.
