A full item & material master, every store movement on one engine with an immutable stock ledger, lot/batch & FEFO, physical stock taking, and the ABC, reorder and valuation reports that run purchasing — configurable for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and traceability.
If your stock lives in spreadsheets, registers and people's memory, the real numbers only show up when something has already gone wrong.
The system says one thing, the shelf says another. So people walk down to the store and count again before every decision.
You find out an item is finished only when someone needs it, while cash sits stuck in things you over-ordered and don't need.
Old batches sit at the back until they cross their expiry date, and money that could have been used gets thrown away as waste.
Fast Inventory is simple software that keeps a live list of every item you hold, where it sits and what it's worth. Every time material comes in, goes out or moves, it's recorded once, so the number on screen always matches the shelf — no more counting, guessing or arguing over spreadsheets.
Every item and location shows its exact quantity on one screen, updated the moment stock is received, issued or moved.
Each receipt, issue and transfer is written down and can't be quietly changed, so you can always see how a number came to be.
It warns you before an item runs low and flags batches nearing expiry, so you order the right amount at the right time.
Fast Inventory replaces stock spreadsheets and guesswork with one always-accurate, always-valued picture of your material — trusted by the shop floor, the store and the finance team alike.
Open one screen and see exactly what you have and where — no counting shelves, no digging through spreadsheets.
Get warned before an item runs low and see what's overstocked, so you order the right quantity at the right time.
Spot every batch nearing expiry weeks ahead and always issue the oldest stock first, so nothing gets written off.
Every movement is recorded and can't be edited, and physical counts reconcile in minutes — so audits and valuations simply add up.
From retail stock to lot-traced pharma, subcontract WIP to capital spares — Fast Inventory is configured to how you actually hold material, not forced into one rigid model. See all solutions →
Fast Inventory carries stock through one controlled cycle, from item master and opening balance to receipt, issue, transfer and count — with every posting leaving a trail, and a physical count recording variance only.
Everything starts with the catalogue of what you stock. Each item carries its code and barcode, its inventory, sales and purchase UOMs, tax group and valuation method, and its dimensions and packaging — plus the minimum (reorder point) and maximum levels, shelf life and lead time that drive replenishment and FEFO.
Stock on hand is a running per-location balance, maintained incrementally at every confirmed movement — never recomputed guesswork. Where batches matter, an optional lot layer sits on top with production and expiry dates, and every change is written to an immutable stock ledger.

Goods receipt (GRN), material issue, return, stock transfer, gate pass, reserve and adjustment all run as documents on a single movement engine. Receipt adds stock and posts a ledger row; issue deducts it; a transfer moves quantity between stores with no net change; a reserve earmarks stock without deducting it. A wrong posting is reversed by an exact, traceable counter-entry.
And it is not one generic warehouse. A full store hierarchy — main, open, rejection, rework, production, FG, scrap, packing, department and subcontractor stores across plant, warehouse, location and bin — is configuration, so the same engine models how your business actually holds stock.

For batch-controlled or perishable goods, each lot carries its batch or LPN number, production date and expiry date. An expiry dashboard buckets every available lot by window — today, this week, this month, this quarter and beyond — so near-expiry stock surfaces as an action list, not a surprise write-off.
Issue discipline is FEFO: expired lots are excluded as a hard eligibility filter and eligible lots are consumed nearest-expiry first. Hold, quarantine and damage are lot status flags, so blocked stock drops out of availability without any quantity being moved — ideal for pharma, food and chemical.

On top of accurate stock sits the full inventory-control reporting layer. The stock ledger shows opening, in, out and closing for any item or store with full reference traceability. Valuation reports the on-hand at cost or lot rate, item- and store-wise. ABC analysis classifies items by value share so counting and purchasing focus where it counts.
Reorder-level alerts flag every item at or below its minimum for replenishment; non-moving and slow-moving reports drive de-stocking and write-down; aging and item×location cross-references complete the picture. It is the difference between counting stock and actually managing it.

Fast Inventory ships with the reports and dashboards a stores and purchasing team actually runs on — stock ledger, valuation, ABC, reorder alerts, expiry and reconciliation — plus Dhruv AI, our own AI layer for the questions a fixed report can't answer.
The immutable movement history for any item or store — opening, in, out, closing and running balance — with the transaction type and reference behind every posting, fully traceable.
Current on-hand straight from the running balance — by item, by store, by location — plus the item×location cross-reference that answers "how much of this, and exactly where?"
On-hand valued at cost price or lot rate, item- and store-wise — so the number in the system matches the number in the books, without a separate spreadsheet.
Items classified by their share of movement value — A the vital few, B the middle, C the long tail — to set cycle-count frequency and focus purchasing where the money actually is.
Items with no or low movement over a chosen period — the working capital sitting still on the shelf — surfaced for de-stocking, write-down or a hard second look at reorder levels.
Every item at or below its minimum, flagged for replenishment on a reorder dashboard — with email and WhatsApp alerts so a stock-out is caught before it stops a line or a sale.
Available lots bucketed by expiry window — today, this week, this month and beyond — as a near-expiry action list, so perishable stock is issued FEFO before it turns into a write-off.
Book versus counted quantity from annual, quarterly or perpetual counts — the variance sheet, and the adjustment that reconciles it, so every correction is deliberate and on the ledger.
Dhruv AI, our own AI engine, clusters non-moving and consumption patterns across items and stores, and answers plain-English questions — "which C-class items are aging in the Pune store?" — with a safe, read-only query and a summary.
Fast Inventory is one of 12 integrated Fast Technology products built on a single platform. It is the stock-accuracy and valuation core — sharing its item master and movement engine so Fast Production issues and receives against the same on-hand, Fast Billing reads the same items, and Fast WMS adds directed putaway and picking on top.
The superset. Same item master and movements, plus directed putaway and picking, pallet/bin optimization and handheld scanning.
Shop-floor execution. Work orders reserve and issue material through the same movement engine and return finished goods to your on-hand.
Purchase and sales billing on the same item master. Receipts and dispatches keep valuation and books aligned with stock, no double entry.
The upstream. Planning/MRP reads the same reorder levels and on-hand to suggest replenishment and drive purchasing.
Incoming and in-stock inspection with the hold/quarantine and damage lot statuses that keep blocked stock out of availability.
The full superset. Inventory sits inside one system with purchase, sales, production, finance and dispatch on the same masters.
Manufacturing and distribution businesses recognise these instantly — the transactions generic inventory tools quietly get wrong. Fast Inventory handles each as a deliberate, ledgered movement, not a manual fudge.
We map how your business actually holds and moves stock first — stores, master data, opening balances, gap analysis — then configure Fast Inventory to fit. And post go-live is not where we disappear.
Retail, manufacturing, 3PL, job-work and traceability track stock differently. Because stores and rules are configuration, not code, Fast Inventory adapts to each — no hardcoded logic. See all solutions →
Raw material, WIP and finished goods across production, FG and scrap stores — issue to consumption, returns, and lot/FIFO where you need it, all on the same ledger.
PO- and sales-driven stock, straightforward in and out, with batch/expiry, barcode and reorder discipline across a distributor network or multiple locations.
Third-party warehousing with client-segregated stock, supplier- and customer-wise visibility, and warehouse-wise balances — who owns what, where, and how much.
Material sent out for job-work and tracked until it returns — as finished goods, unused excess, or a general return — with WIP visibility at the subcontractor site.
Full genealogy at item and process-code level, immutable ledger-style logs and optional blockchain mode — the traceability pharma and food supply chains demand.
Barcode-tracked capital assets, maintenance spares kept distinct from consumables, and many low-volume SKUs where ABC, reorder and non-moving analysis drive purchasing.
Fast Inventory posts stock journals to Tally so physical stock and financial books stay aligned; drives barcode, RFID and NFC scanning for entry, counting and labels; and moves data by Excel, API, EDI and FTP. WhatsApp and email carry reorder and expiry alerts, and Dhruv AI answers the questions a fixed report can't. One backbone.
