The Inventory Management module presents the physical stock situation in each location. Purchase orders can be created for stock which can be allocated to specific jobs or held as general purpose stock. Customer supplied materials can also be handled. All issues and receipts of stock are recorded updated accordingly.

By improving control of warehouse stock and tying future requirements to the production schedule, the Inventory Management module aids the printer in minimising the value of stock on hand whilst ensuring a smooth production workflow.
