Counts are typed in from scans or sheets
Scanners or paper counts exist, but someone still keys the numbers into the system.
Automated inventory management so your stock numbers are actually right.
We connect scanners, orders, stores, and suppliers to one stock record, so every stock movement updates it directly. Nobody types counts in, and mismatches are flagged the day they happen.
Teams we've built for
One record
Of stock for every system
Stores, warehouse, and suppliers read from it and write to it.
4–8 wks
Typical first release
Most first releases reach users 4–8 weeks from kickoff.

Similar work, already live
“Honestly the main thing is our inventory numbers are actually right now. It all used to be typed in by hand, now the scanners feed straight into the system.”
“The custom store they built is so much better than the plugin mess we had on Shopify.”
“Results get logged automatically when a run finishes now. Before that we were typing them into three different spreadsheets by hand.”

Why inventory numbers drift
Inventory goes wrong between systems. A pick is scanned in the warehouse, the order lives in the store, the supplier confirms by email, and someone types the difference in at the end of the day. Every manual step is a place where the count can drift.
Automation fixes the handoffs, not the warehouse. We keep the hardware and systems that work, connect them to one stock record, and flag mismatches when they happen instead of at the next stock count.
Signs inventory needs automating
Good candidates have stock moving through several systems and a team that reconciles them by hand.
Stores and warehouse disagree
Shopify, a marketplace, and the warehouse each show a different number for the same item.
Overselling and surprise stockouts
Orders go through for stock that isn't there, or a reorder is missed because the number was wrong.
The stock count takes days
Matching physical counts to the system is a project every month or quarter.
How an inventory project runs
We map every place stock changes before we connect anything.
- / 01
Map every stock movement
Receiving, picking, returns, transfers, and adjustments: where each one happens and which system records it.
- / 02
Choose the system of record
One place holds the true number. Every other system reads from it or writes to it.
- / 03
Connect the sources
Scanners, stores, marketplaces, and supplier feeds update the record directly, with a log of every change.
- / 04
Reconcile and alert
Daily checks compare the systems and flag each mismatch with the movements that caused it.
What you get
One stock record that every system reads from and writes to.
- Scanner and device integration with your inventory system
- Stock sync across your store and marketplaces
- Purchase order and supplier updates without retyping
- Reorder alerts from the stock levels you set
- Daily reconciliation with mismatch reports
- An audit log of every stock change, plus a runbook
Plain software first
Most inventory automation is integration work. AI helps at the edges.
Stock math is code
Counts, reservations, and reorder levels are deterministic rules you can read and change.
Models handle the messy inputs
A model can read supplier emails, packing slips, and invoices, and turn them into stock updates for a person to confirm.
Inventory work teams automate first
Each removes one manual step between a stock movement and the record.
Scanner-to-system sync
Receiving and picking scans update stock directly, with no keying in.
Multi-channel stock sync
One stock level across your store, marketplaces, and warehouse.
Supplier and PO intake
Confirmations, packing slips, and invoices turned into expected stock and receipts.
Reorder and low-stock alerts
An alert or a draft purchase order when stock falls below the level you set.
Three fixed-price ways to start
Start with something real users can try. Then decide if it's worth going bigger.
Sprint
1 week$5,000
Map your stock movements and automate one handoff, such as scanner sync.
MVP
~1 monthFrom $20K
One stock record with your main sources connected, daily reconciliation, and handover.
Scale-up
2+ months$75K–$250K
Several warehouses, channels, or ERPs, with migration and monitoring.
Questions before we start
Do we need new scanners or a new WMS?
Usually not. We connect the hardware and systems you have, and suggest a change only if a missing system blocks the result.
Can you sync Shopify and marketplace stock?
Yes. We connect stores and marketplaces through their APIs to one stock record, so an order on one channel updates the others.
What happens when systems disagree?
The daily check flags the item, the systems, and the movements involved. A person decides which number is right.
Will this replace our stock counts?
No. Physical counts still matter. They get faster, because the system is already close and every difference comes with a trail.
Which systems can you connect?
Store platforms such as Shopify, marketplaces, accounting tools, ERPs, warehouse systems, and scanners, through their APIs or file exports. If a system has no API, we tell you before we start.
How much does inventory automation cost?
A one-week sprint is $5,000. One stock record with your main sources usually fits the MVP tier, from $20,000. We agree the price before we start.
