Inventory software for retail chains with many stores
Each shop and your central warehouse is a location with its own stock. Move goods with transfer orders, reorder per branch, and let your Ellibo POS counter work from the same count as the stockroom.

Running stock across many shops
More stores mean more places for stock to go missing. These are the problems chains bring us most.
Nobody knows what each store holds
A customer wants a size the shop does not have, and staff call three branches to find one.
Every item shows its stock in each warehouse or shop, with on hand, committed, available and incoming in the Inventory Summary.
Transfers on WhatsApp
Goods move between stores on a message and a van, and the counts at both ends drift apart.
Make a transfer order from one location to another. Transfer now moves the stock, or save a draft for later.
Staff move stock freely
Large transfers happen without anyone senior seeing them.
Staff transfers above an amount you set wait as drafts until a manager approves, and adjustments always need a manager.
The yearly count closes the shops
Counting everything once a year means a lost Sunday and figures that are wrong by March.
Cycle count plans count fast-moving A items often and slow C items rarely, per location, with blind counts and manager approval.
How stock flows through the chain
- Receive centrally
Goods arrive at the warehouse on a purchase receive, with labels printed for what came in.
- Send to stores
Transfer orders move stock to each shop, and every movement is on record.
- Sell at the counter
Ellibo POS sells from its store's warehouse and shares the same count.
- Reorder per branch
Items at or below reorder level in each location are listed with a suggested quantity.

Variants

Can I see stock in each store separately?
Yes. With Multiple warehouses on, every item shows its stock per location, and reports can be run for one location or all.
How do I move stock between stores?
Create a transfer order with the from and to locations and the items. Transfer now moves it straight away, or save it as a draft.
Does it work with Ellibo POS?
Yes. Turn on shared stock in POS and choose the warehouse it sells from. Sales come off Inventory within about five minutes. Items with batches, serial numbers or bundles keep their own count.
How do cycle counts work?
Items are classed A, B or C by their sales. Count plans set how often each class is counted per location, and a manager approves the differences.
Can staff make transfers without approval?
Up to the amount you set. Larger staff transfers wait as drafts for a manager, and adjustments always need a manager.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, with one warehouse. Multiple warehouses start on Standard, and cycle count plans are on Business.
