Capabilities made explicit

Product and service catalogue

Create a product catalogue with product or service records, names, categories, SKUs, barcodes, images, prices, costs, brands, and item-specific details.

Size and colour variants

Keep product variants and size and colour variants distinguishable so pricing and stock can be reviewed for the item customers actually buy.

Multi-location stock control

Review multi-location inventory availability, selling status, prices, thresholds, and stock by store or business location.

Low-stock and out-of-stock review

Set low-stock thresholds and low-stock alerts, then use a reorder review for items that are running low, out of stock, missing prices, or otherwise need attention before a sale is affected.

Purchasing and supplier receiving

Create supplier purchase orders, record expected quantities, complete goods receiving, review differences, and keep supplier invoices connected to the replenishment record.

Batches and expiry tracking

Capture batch tracking details, batch origins, quantities, expiry dates, and receiving details for products that need inventory traceability.

Auditable stock movements

Keep an inventory audit trail and stock adjustments in a movement history for sales, receipts, transfers, returns, counts, and manual adjustments with store context and reasons.

Inventory analytics

Review stock health, movement trends, purchase activity, low-stock risks, and operational exceptions in inventory analytics, inventory reporting, and stock reports alongside sales and expense records.

POS, commerce, and customer connections

Use inventory records with inventory sync in POS, sales documents, purchasing, analytics, WorkroomShop online storefront, customer purchase history, and loyalty or rewards workflows.

Permission-aware stock control

Keep large adjustments, price changes, receiving, returns, and other sensitive stock actions limited through staff permissions, role-based access, and clear inventory controls for authorised roles.

  3. Step 3

    Activate the item for the correct store and set its low-stock threshold.

  4. Step 4

    Receive, transfer, count, sell, return, or adjust stock while preserving the movement history.

  5. Step 5

    Review low-stock risks, purchase activity, batches, expiry, and inventory analytics.

Important operating details

  • Offline handling keeps already-loaded inventory information readable and waits for live validation before stock-changing actions.
  • Thresholds and reorder reviews depend on clean item records, store setup, recorded sales, and accurate receiving data.
  • WorkroomShowroom is a customer-facing inventory gallery for assisted selling; WorkroomShop is the public online storefront for digital catalogues and orders.

Frequently asked questions

What does Workroom inventory management software track?

Workroom tracks products and services, SKUs, barcodes, quantities, prices, costs, variants, store availability, low-stock risks, purchases, receiving, batches, expiry details, and stock movements.

Can I manage size and colour variants?

Yes. Product records can include variants such as size and colour so the business can review the item customers actually buy, price it correctly, and keep its stock activity distinguishable.

Can I manage stock across multiple stores?

Yes. Workroom supports multi-location inventory views with store-level availability, selling status, prices, thresholds, and movement context.

How do low-stock alerts and reorder reviews work?

Teams set low-stock thresholds for tracked items, then review products that are below their store threshold or otherwise need replenishment before a sale is affected.

Can inventory connect to purchasing and supplier receiving?

Yes. Create purchase orders, receive goods, review quantity or cost differences, record supplier invoices, and keep the resulting stock movement connected to the replenishment history.

Does Workroom support batch and expiry tracking?

Yes. Batch-controlled products can retain receipt origins, available quantities, expiry dates, and related receiving details for inventory traceability.

Which inventory changes are auditable?

Sales, receipts, transfers, returns, counts, and manual adjustments can remain in the stock movement history with store context, timing, quantity, and a reason where required.

How does inventory connect to POS and online commerce?

The same catalogue and stock records can support POS sales, sales documents, purchasing, analytics, WorkroomShop online orders, customer purchase history, and loyalty or rewards workflows.

What is the difference between WorkroomShop and WorkroomShowroom?

WorkroomShop is the public online storefront for catalogues and digital orders. WorkroomShowroom is a customer-facing inventory gallery for assisted selling, not a public catalogue.

How do customer purchase history and loyalty connect to inventory?

When sales are linked to a customer, Workroom keeps the purchase context available for repeat-customer follow-up, loyalty, rewards, and better product conversations.
