Purchases, stock, job-work and sales in one set of records

For manufacturers and traders whose margins depend on knowing exactly what was bought, moved, processed and sold.

Proposed solutions

Everything on this page describes proposed solutions and illustrative interfaces, not deployed products.

Where the time and money leak

  • Purchase and sale records live in separate sheets or tools
  • Stock movements between godowns, vendors and job-workers are hard to follow
  • Differences between expected and actual quantities surface only at month end
  • Reconciliation with suppliers and customers consumes days
  • Owners wait for someone to prepare the operating report

How the work could run instead

  • Purchase records

    Purchases entered against supplier, material and rate, with receipt checks against what actually arrived.

  • Stock movements

    Transfers between locations and to and from vendors recorded with quantity and date, so stock position is always traceable.

  • Job-work records

    Material sent for processing and received back tracked with expected and actual quantities and outstanding balances.

  • Sales

    Orders, dispatches and invoices tied to stock, so what was sold is what left the store.

  • Reconciliation

    Side-by-side checks of purchases, stock and sales to highlight differences for review.

  • Operational reporting

    Daily and monthly views of stock, pending dispatches, payables and receivables.

Modules a first version could include

  • Purchase register
  • Stock ledger
  • Job-work tracker
  • Sales and dispatch
  • Reconciliation view
  • Party ledger
  • Accounting export
  • Management dashboard
Illustrative demo

These are proposed solutions for manufacturing and trading businesses; the linked demo shows a stock-and-job-work interface from a related trade. The linked interface is an illustrative demo using sample data. It is not a deployed product, and nothing here describes a live client system. Real builds are scoped around your own workflow.
