What is manufacturing inventory software?
Manufacturing inventory software tracks what a shop consumes — raw stock, components, and consumables — as live quantities by location, with a ledger recording every movement. The manufacturing part is the connection to production: BOMs reserve stock, work orders consume it, and purchasing refills it, all on one ledger.
Live counts
Numbers the whole shop can trust.
On-hand by item and location, updated by scans, not by end-of-week memory. When the count changes, the ledger says who, when, and why — so a wrong number is a readable story, not a mystery inventory writes off.
- Quantities per rack, crib, van, or site
- A movement ledger behind every change
- Cycle counts by bin, no annual shutdown
Reorder points
The shelf refills itself.
Set a minimum once. When 304 stainless dips below it, a purchase order drafts itself with the vendor's lead time attached — and incoming stock shows in the plan before it hits the dock. The 2 pm supply run stops being a job description.
- Min/max per item and per location
- POs drafted the moment a point fires
- Vendor lead times baked into timing
Connected to production
Stock that knows where it's going.
Releasing a work order reserves its materials; finishing it consumes them. "Available" always means available-after-commitments — which is the number you actually wanted when you asked.
- BOMs reserve stock at job release
- Consumption logged back automatically
- Shortage math computed against live counts

All industriesFrequently asked questions
What is manufacturing inventory software?
Manufacturing inventory software tracks the materials a shop consumes — raw stock, components, consumables — as live quantities by location, with a movement ledger behind every change. Unlike retail inventory tools, it connects stock to production: BOMs reserve it, work orders consume it, and reorder points refill it.
How is this different from retail or e-commerce inventory apps?
Retail tools count sellable SKUs; a shop needs stock that flows into things. TrackFinch ties every count to the BOMs and work orders that consume it — so "do we have enough to build 40?" is a computed answer, not a walk to the rack.
What are reorder points, and how should I set them?
A reorder point is the stock level that triggers a repurchase — enough to cover what you'll use during the vendor's lead time, plus safety stock. TrackFinch watches them live and drafts POs when they fire. Use our free reorder point calculator to pick sensible numbers.
Can it track stock in multiple locations — racks, cribs, vans, sites?
Yes — quantities live per location, and moves are one scan. Field-service shops run a location per truck with per-van minimums; see truck stock for the trades.
Does every stock change really get logged?
Every receipt, consumption, move, and adjustment lands in the movement ledger with who and when. When a count looks wrong, you read the story instead of re-counting the shelf and wondering.
Can I do cycle counts instead of a year-end wall-to-wall?
Yes — count a bin or a category at a time and adjust with a reason. A rolling cycle count habit keeps accuracy high without ever shutting the shop down to count.
What does inventory software cost for a small shop?
Free for 14 days, then flat pricing — not per-SKU, not per-location. Current numbers on the pricing page.
