If your inventory management relies on spreadsheets, you're flying blind. You don't know what you have, where it is, or when you'll run out. Rootstock ERP changes that with real-time visibility across your entire operation.
Key Inventory Capabilities
Multi-Location Visibility
See inventory across all warehouses, plants, and locations in real time. No more calling around to find stock.
Accurate Costing
Track actual costs with average, standard, or FIFO costing methods. Know your true margins on every sale.
Automated Replenishment
Set reorder points and safety stock levels. Rootstock generates purchase orders automatically when inventory drops.
Lot & Serial Tracking
Full traceability for regulated industries. Track lots and serials from receipt through shipment.
The Spreadsheet Problem
We see this pattern constantly with manufacturers still using spreadsheets:
- Inventory counts are updated once a week (or less)
- Nobody trusts the numbers, so they do physical counts
- Stockouts happen because nobody saw them coming
- Overbuying ties up cash in excess inventory
- Cycle counting is a nightmare
Rootstock solves these problems by maintaining a single source of truth that updates in real time as transactions occur.
Integration with Sales
Because Rootstock runs on Salesforce, your sales team can see real-time inventory without leaving their CRM. When a rep creates a quote, they know instantly:
- What's available to promise
- Which warehouse has stock
- When backordered items will arrive
- Accurate lead times for production
No more “let me check with the warehouse” delays. No more overselling.
Warehouse Operations
Rootstock supports mobile warehouse operations with barcode scanning for:
- Receiving and put-away
- Picking and packing
- Transfers between locations
- Cycle counting
- Production consumption
