Introducing Inventory Management: Invoicing and Inventory Software in One Workspace — header image

Stop juggling spreadsheets and separate tools. Invoice Master Inventory Management is invoicing and inventory software that brings real‑time, multi‑location stock control into the same place you create quotes and invoices—so counts stay accurate and cash keeps moving.


Why invoicing and inventory software matters

When sales, purchasing, and stock all live in separate apps, businesses lose time reconciling numbers and chasing down answers. Centralizing them inside one invoicing and inventory software stack means you always quote based on real availability, you invoice faster, and you see cash flow impacts as stock moves.

  • Unified record keeping: Sales and operations share the same product catalog and pricing rules. No more version conflicts or manual copy-paste.
  • Better promise dates: Everyone sees the same stock table as soon as you log movements, so customer commitments stay realistic across locations.
  • Simpler reporting: Finance, warehouse, and leadership review the same dashboards, making it easier to spot margin creep or aging inventory.

Invoice Master keeps quotes, invoices, payments, and stock activity in one place to provide that end-to-end view. If you are upgrading from spreadsheets, start by importing your core products and your last physical count so your baseline is trustworthy.


What you can do (at a glance)

  • Multi‑location inventory: Track stock by warehouse, store, van, or shelf; see totals consolidated and per location.
  • Real‑time stock levels: Instantly view on‑hand counts when you quote or invoice.
  • Movement history: Log additions, disposals, transfers, and corrections with timestamps and reasons.
  • Quick adjust actions: Add, transfer, correct, or dispose stock with guided forms.
  • Manual stock checks: Review on‑hand quantities before you create documents.
  • Simple catalog: Manage products in one list that feeds both inventory and invoices.
  • Clean UI: Sortable tables, quick filters, and clear totals—no training required.

FAQ

Does it support multiple locations?
Yes—add as many as you need and view per‑location or consolidated stock.

When does stock change—on quote or invoice?
Inventory updates when you log a movement—add, transfer, dispose, or correct. Quotes and invoices themselves do not change stock automatically.

Can I import my existing catalog and counts?
You can add products and opening balances through the UI today. Bulk CSV import is on the roadmap, so plan for a quick manual setup or reach out to our team for migration support.

Can I track transfers between locations?
Yes—use Transfer movements to move stock with a clear audit trail.

What about write‑offs and corrections?
Record Disposal or Correction with a reason to keep history clean.

How do I stay ahead of low stock?
Check the stock table regularly or schedule recurring cycle counts. Notifications aren’t automated yet, so many teams review the movement log weekly.
