Typical workflow: Import and trading companies

  1. Add suppliers and products, or import them from a spreadsheet.

  2. Record a shipment for each delivery and set its status as it moves from ordered to shipped to received.

  3. Record the purchase and payments, so stock is added in the receiving warehouse.

  4. Transfer stock to other warehouses, sell it and read profit per product.

Using it in the Gulf

The Gulf is a hub for re-export and regional distribution. Use several currencies where you need them, keep stock in different warehouses, and set the tax rates that apply to you. Inventorious does not file customs declarations.

Tax rates and currency are set per account. Inventorious is not a certified e-invoicing or tax filing system, so confirm local requirements with your accountant.

A shipment is recorded with a supplier, a warehouse and a status that moves through ordered, shipped and received, so you can see what is still on the way.
