The problems RapidInventory solves
Most manufacturers run stock control on spreadsheets, manual counts, and gut feel. It works — until it doesn't.
Stock in spreadsheets
Different sheets for different stores, out of date the moment they're saved, and no easy way to see real stock levels.
With RapidInventory: One live view of stock levels across every store and location, updated as movements happen.
Manual stock counts
Endless walk-arounds with clipboards. Discrepancies discovered too late and adjustments lost in email threads.
With RapidInventory: Receipts, moves, and consumption are scanned on a phone or tablet, with a clear audit trail.
Stockouts and surprises
Production stalls because no one realised a part was running low. Or worse, cash sitting on the shelf in stock you didn't need.
With RapidInventory: Low-stock alerts and consumption burn-down charts flag issues before they impact production.
No traceability
When something goes wrong, it's nearly impossible to track which batch went where, what was consumed, or when stock moved.
With RapidInventory: Serial numbers, batches, and movement history show where stock came from, where it went, and when.
How it works
From shelf to job, traced end to end
RapidInventory gives every part a clear path through your operation — and a complete audit trail along the way.

How it fits
Real stock control, without enterprise complexity
RapidMES manages the orders and items being made. RapidInventory adds the live view of the stock behind them — what you have, where it is, and what's being used.
It runs on top of RapidMES, where it inherits item master data and ties consumption to orders. RapidInstruct and RapidWorkshop can then consume materials against jobs as the work is done, and a flexible API connects your existing systems.
