Inventory Cost Management – Maximize Profits by Keeping Your Numbers in Check

Cloud-based inventory and cost management system for retail and F&B, featuring mobile tracking of stock levels, automated ordering, and real-time data analytics.

Whether you run a supermarket or a local tea restaurant, our inventory and cost management system acts like an all-in-one butler for your business. From how many grams of salmon are cut from the cold room to how many bottles of soy sauce are left on the shelf—everything is updated in real time and synced to the cloud. Most importantly, it keeps a close eye on your numbers. With just a tap on your phone, you can instantly see which products are most profitable and which store locations have slower turnover—crystal clear, anytime.

Omni-channel Smart Inventory Management

Whether you operate physical retail stores, online shops, pop-up stalls, or central kitchens and branch warehouses for F&B, everything is managed through a single system: item status (in-transit, on-display, backup stock) and value are all clearly visible. The system even supports bulk import of product data via Excel, saving up to 90% of data-entry time while reducing manual errors.

  • Smart Cloud Replenishment
    Worried about stockouts disrupting operations? The automated replenishment feature lets you set minimum stock thresholds in the backend. When inventory drops below the limit, the system automatically triggers a purchase order—saving you the hassle of calling each store to chase restocks.

  • Mobile Stocktaking
    Staff can use a mobile phone to walk through the warehouse, scan product barcodes, and have real-time inventory data uploaded to the cloud instantly. This brings immense convenience to retail or restaurant stock checks.

  • Visual Cost Dashboards
    The system consolidates purchasing, usage, and inventory data from all store locations and presents it in easy-to-read visual charts.

Retail-Specific Weapons

  • Splitting Cases into Units – No More Headaches
    The most annoying part of retail—converting cases into individual units? Selling candy by the jar and by the piece? Our inventory cost management system can handle all of it: purchase by the case, stock on shelves by the jar, and sell loose items by the gram—with automatic cost and inventory conversion.

  • Smart Scale – Your Perfect Partner
    Perfect for seafood and meat sellers! An electronic scale connects directly to the POS—weigh, price instantly, and deduct from inventory automatically as items are sold.

  • Dual Costing Methods – Flexible Accounting
    Choose between FIFO (First In, First Out) or Average Cost—whichever fits your business model.

Award-Winning F&B Inventory System

  • Central Kitchen Brain
    The system is highly scalable and supports multi-site structures including central kitchens, warehouses, and food production facilities. Real-time inventory synchronization between central factories and branch outlets ensures everything stays aligned—from handling ingredient waste and spoilage (tasting, overcooking, returns of damaged goods) to sub-assembly and disassembly of semi-finished products, all automatically calculated.

  • Ingredient DNA Blueprint (5-Level BOM Feature)
    How do you break down a bowl of wonton noodles? Our F&B inventory and cost management system can trace down to five levels: flour → wonton wrappers → fresh shrimp wontons → soup base ingredients → finished product.

Which ingredient cost is spiking? Instantly pinpoint the source and adjust suppliers—no need to wait until month-end to find out you’re losing money.
