Automating inventory
What the system says and what's on the warehouse shelves aren't the same number, and nobody knows when they drifted apart.
What the problem looks like
Someone sells over WhatsApp and writes it down later. Someone else receives goods and records them at the end of the day, if they remember. The point of sale deducts what goes through the register, but not what left through the back door for a delivery. At month's end the physical count contradicts the system, and a whole day goes into hunting for the difference.
It isn't a discipline problem. The inventory lives in three places and none of them tells the others.
What we build
A system that connects to what you already use — the point of sale, the invoicing, the business WhatsApp — and does what a person does by hand today:
- Deducts what sells, whether it goes out through the register or through a message.
- Records what comes in when the supplier's invoice arrives.
- Alerts you when something runs low, below the minimum you set, before it runs out.
- Asks your suppliers for prices and puts the comparison in your hand.
- Logs every movement, so the monthly count matches and, if it doesn't, you know where the gap opened.
We don't ask you to switch software. Your systems stay; ours works around them.
A typical case
Picture a hardware store in Cartago that sells at the counter and over WhatsApp. The system reads the orders from the chat, deducts them from inventory and, when stainless steel screws drop below a hundred units, asks three suppliers for prices and sends the owner the comparison. The month-end count stopped being a day's work.
How we start
With an assessment: we look at how inventory moves today, who touches it and with which programs. You receive a written scope.
