Wholesale and distribution inventory

Keep buying, commitments, warehouses and dispatch in one operational context.

KnownStock helps a small distributor answer what arrived, what is still expected, what has been promised and which warehouse can actually serve it.

The operating model

Keep one clear stock record across every place where the team works.

Office, warehouse and mobile colleagues work from the same inventory record, while neighbouring business processes remain in the systems built for them.

  • Main warehouse and one or more branches
  • Receiving, storage, picking and dispatch areas
  • Customer orders with partial allocation
  • Supplier orders with partial receipts

Supply

Purchasing and receipts

Keep ordered, received and pending quantities connected.

See purchase flow

Demand

Commitment and allocation

Know what is promised and which quantity is physically reserved.

See sales flow

Movement

Warehouses and transfers

Keep branch, transit and destination visible.

A typical day

From the first question to a movement everyone can explain.

Purchasing confirms an expected delivery. The warehouse receives only the cartons that arrived and leaves the remainder pending. Sales allocates available stock for today’s customer order, another branch requests a transfer and dispatch prepares the served quantities without a second stock effect.

When KnownStock fits

A strong choice when inventory is the shared operational problem.

  • Several people need the same availability answer
  • Purchasing and sales must see the same pending quantities
  • Transfers and counts need reasons and approval
  • The business keeps accounting in another system

When you need more

Add or choose a specialist system when the job extends beyond focused inventory operations.

  • Point-of-sale or ecommerce marketplace sync
  • EDI, carrier booking or route optimisation
  • Advanced WMS waves, slotting or 3PL
  • Tax and statutory invoicing

Ready for a verifiable first movement

Start with one item, one warehouse and one quantity you can explain.

Create a workspace without a card. Use removable sample data or enter one real record, then follow the practical manual at your own pace.
