Inventory management

Inventory management software: stock you can walk to

Fiftify tracks inventory at bin level - on hand, reserved and available per SKU in every warehouse - and keeps the quantity your sales channels show equal to what the shelf can back up.

What is stock control software?

Stock control software keeps three numbers honest: what is on hand, what is reserved by paid orders and what the channels may still sell. Fiftify ties every unit to a bin on your floor plan, reserves stock the moment an order is paid and updates each listing once per packed shipment, never mid-pick. Drift is found and fixed in the aisle with a scan. The mobile app doubles as an inventory count app: staff scan barcodes bin by bin, so bin location inventory management, cycle count software and your inventory records stay in one system and inventory accuracy holds up between full stock counts.

  • What it does: bin-level stock, reservations and channel sync in one count
  • Who it is for: sellers who oversell, miscount or spend evenings reconciling
  • What you need: a phone and bin labels printed from your map

How stock control works in Fiftify

1
Every unit gets a bin

Stock lives at an address on the map, not in a column somebody updates.

2
Three numbers agree

On hand, reserved and available are computed from scans and paid orders, never typed.

3
Listings update as each shipment packs

One deduction per packed shipment goes to Shopify, Amazon, eBay and Etsy - buffers hold the last units back.

4
Cycle counts fix drift

Count a bin, enter the difference with a reason, and the adjustment is logged - the same way in every warehouse.

Bin-level inventory tracking

Every unit has an address

Inventory is stored per location: zone, row, rack, level, bin. Every quantity on screen points to a physical shelf, so any count can be checked by walking to it.

Three numbers that agree

On hand is what exists, reserved is what orders claimed, available is what channels may sell - reconciled per SKU and per bin, continuously.

Lots and expiry

Track lot and expiry on the bin rows that need it - and see them at pick time, not in an audit.

Replenishment flags

Bins below their level surface before the picker finds them empty.

Stock that matches every channel

The listing says four because the shelf has four

All sales channels sell from one stock pool. The listing quantity updates when a shipment is packed - one clean deduction, no mid-pick flicker - and buffer rules keep the last units off the market.

Buffers at the shelf edge

Hold two units back per SKU and the miscount that always happens never becomes an oversell email.

Rollup across warehouses

Channels get one total; the floor still sees per-warehouse truth.

Cancellations restock

A voided order puts its units back on sale before the next pick would have taken them.

Cycle counts and adjustments

Drift dies in the aisle

When the shelf disagrees with the screen, the fix happens on the spot: inventory adjustments with a reason, and cycle counts that run while the warehouse keeps shipping.

Adjustments · today
-2 damaged · Bin 1-2-1-3logged
Count row 5 closedno variance
12 moved → Bin 3-4-2-1done

Adjust from anywhere

Damaged, missing, found - adjust with a reason from a pick, a pack or the bin itself. History keeps the who and the when.

Cycle counts that do not freeze the floor

Count a row or a zone while the rest of the warehouse keeps shipping.

Movement history

Every unit’s path - received, moved, picked, shipped - is a query, not an archaeology project.

Who uses Fiftify for stock control

Shopify store with its own warehouse

The listing says four because the shelf has four - no Sunday reconciliation.

Seller on Amazon, eBay, Etsy and Shopify at once

One shared pool: a sale on eBay reserves the unit Amazon and Etsy could have sold.

First warehouse with a small team

Counts happen where the stock is, with a scan, not on a clipboard at the desk.

Several warehouses

Each building has its own bins, and the channels see one combined total.

Inventory management FAQ

What is stock control software?

It tracks how much of each product you hold, where it sits and what is already promised to orders. Fiftify keeps that count at bin level and pushes the sellable quantity to every connected channel after each packed shipment.

What is the difference between stock control and inventory management?

Stock control is the day-to-day accuracy of counts and locations; inventory management adds the wider picture of ordering, valuation and planning. Fiftify focuses on the warehouse side: honest counts, reservations, channel sync and the work that moves stock.

How do I stop overselling across sales channels?

Keep one stock pool and reserve units in Fiftify the moment any channel takes payment, so the same unit is not promised to two orders. Listing quantities then update once per packed shipment, never per scan. Fiftify does this for Shopify, Amazon, eBay and Etsy, and buffers can hold the last units off the market entirely.

What is bin-level inventory tracking?

Every unit is recorded in a specific bin on your floor plan rather than as a warehouse-wide total. Picks, moves and counts are confirmed by scanning that bin, so the system always knows which shelf a unit is on.

When does the listing quantity update?

Once per packed shipment, never per scan. Inside the warehouse stock moves with every scan, but the channel only sees a clean deduction when the shipment is created.

Does Fiftify support lot numbers and expiry dates?

Bin rows can carry a lot number and an expiry date, and pickers see them on the pick.

How much does inventory management software cost with Fiftify?

The Starter plan is free for up to 100 orders a month with one staff account. Paid plans start at $99 a month for Growth (500 orders, 3 staff), then Advanced at $299 and Professional at $799. Every plan includes unlimited SKUs, sales channels and warehouses, and you can try the full product for 7 days without a credit card.

Can I manage inventory from my phone?

Yes. The Fiftify app is live on Android and iOS, and any phone works as the scanner. Staff can check what sits in a bin, count a shelf or move items between locations from the warehouse floor. Stock moves with every scan inside the warehouse, while channel listings update once per packed shipment.
