Inventory

Which warehouse has it, how many left — know at once, no phone calls

Each store is a warehouse with its own stock. Move goods between them from a phone: the sending end presses "Send goods", the receiving end presses "Receive goods" — goods on the road stay on the books. Try it below.

GrowFly demo shop — the real software, sample dataOpen full screen

Use the real GrowFly, right here

This is not a picture: you go into the software itself, on a sample shop with products, customers and orders. The try-it guide walks you through this line of work step by step.

On a phone, the GrowFly app opens in a new tab.

  • A shared sample shop — don't enter real information.
  • Data is refreshed every night at 3:00 (Vietnam time).
  • Payments, shipments and e-invoices in the demo are simulated.

No tech skills needed

Warehouse and store staff get it right away

Stock work happens on the phone, in the words shop staff already use. The bookkeeping takes care of itself.

  • Scan as you count

    Stock counts on the phone: scan a barcode and it goes on the count. Several people can count one warehouse at once — every phone's numbers land on one count.

  • A transfer is two buttons

    The sending end presses "Send goods", the receiving end "Receive goods". Short delivery? Change the number; what hasn't arrived waits in transit.

  • Each manager sees their own store

    A store manager limited to a warehouse sees only that store in reports — no mixing with other stores' figures.

A tidy warehouse, stock figures you can trust

All under "Products" in the menu: Stock on hand, Stock in/out, Stock count, Warehouses, Units of measure, Brands.

  • Stock per warehouse, per store

    Each store is a warehouse. The "Stock on hand" report shows how much of each item is where.

  • Stock in and out, on paper

    Every movement in or out is a stock entry, so any stock figure can be traced back to where it came from.

  • Two-step transfers

    Goods leave the sending warehouse when sent, wait in a transit warehouse on the road, and land when the other end confirms.

  • Stock counts on the phone

    Several phones count one warehouse together. The stock manager reviews the differences and presses "Balance stock".

  • Batches and serial numbers

    Items that need close tracking by batch or serial number are followed on the desktop, from receipt to sale.

  • Units, brands, groups

    Set up units of measure, brands and product groups right in the "Products" area.

  • Low-stock reminders

    Items running low or out in your stores show up under "To do" on the Home page by themselves.

  • Parcel dimensions

    Each item has length, width and height (cm), used when you make a parcel for the carrier.

Inventory, situation by situation

Things that used to take a phone call, a notebook or the end of the month.

Stock count

The whole team counts, the manager settles once

Everyone opens the count on their phone and scans. Items that differ show "Over" or "Short" against the system figure. The stock manager reviews and presses "Balance stock" — stock on hand follows the count.

  • Several phones count one warehouse; the numbers merge into one count
  • Balancing adjusts only the items that differ

Access by warehouse

Owners see the chain, stores see their part

The owner sees stock in every warehouse, goods on the road included. A store manager limited to a warehouse sees only their store's warehouse in reports.

  • No separate "branch" object: each store is a warehouse, simple to grasp and to restrict
  • The "Stock in & out" report follows goods in and out of each warehouse

On the phone

On the shelf, reserved, expected

The GrowFly app shows each warehouse's stock as three figures: on the shelf, reserved for orders, and expected. Stock counts and transfers happen right in the app too.

  • Batch and serial items are counted and transferred on the desktop

Good to know first

  • Each store needs its own warehouse; the store's till sells from that warehouse.
  • Stock counts and transfers on the phone don't take batch or serial items yet — those are done on the desktop.
  • Pressing "Balance stock" needs stock-manager rights; staff count and save the count.
  • Moving over from KiotViet doesn't bring old stock counts or write-offs; stock levels are evened out to match.

Questions

Questions about inventory

Don't see your question? Ask us directly.

Talk to us
Where do goods count while they move between warehouses?

In the transit warehouse. When the sender presses "Send goods" they leave the sending warehouse; when the receiver presses "Receive goods" they enter the receiving one. In between they stay on the books — never counted twice, never lost.

What if less arrives than was sent?

The receiver changes the number before pressing "Receive goods". What hasn't arrived stays in the transit warehouse and can be received later.

Can several people count at once without double counting?

Yes. Each person scans on their own phone and the numbers merge into one count for that warehouse. The stock manager reviews the differences and presses "Balance stock"; only items that differ are adjusted.

Do you track batches and serial numbers?

Yes, on the desktop, the standard ERPNext way. Stock counts and transfers on the phone don't take batch or serial items yet.

Can staff at one store see another store's stock?

That's up to your permissions. A store manager limited to a warehouse sees only their own store in reports.

I use KiotViet today — can my stock come over?

Yes. "Data migration" brings branches (each becomes a warehouse and a till), products, batches, serials and transfer history, then evens stock out to match. From MISA eShop it brings branches and products and evens stock out.
