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Different sheets for different stores, out of date the moment they're saved, and no easy way to see real stock levels.
Manual stock counts
Endless walk-arounds with clipboards. Discrepancies discovered too late and adjustments lost in email threads.
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.
No traceability
When something goes wrong, it's nearly impossible to track which batch went where, what was consumed, or when stock moved.
