Digit Inventory Management
Inventory tracking, stock management, reorder point planning, multi-location management, and inventory valuation across warehouses and locations.
Inventory Management is a core strength for Digit — a primary capability included in standard deployments. The product is best suited to smb and mid-market manufacturers and distributors that need real-time mrp, inventory, and shop-floor traceability without enterprise cost.
Key capabilities
Real-time stock level tracking
Continuous inventory visibility across all locations updated by every transaction — receipts, issues, transfers, and adjustments. Enables accurate available-to-promise calculations and prevents overselling.
Multi-location and multi-warehouse management
Manages stock across warehouses, retail stores, consignment locations, and in-transit inventory with inter-site transfer workflows. Supports location-specific reorder rules and consolidated visibility dashboards.
Lot and serial number tracking
Full forward and backward traceability by lot or serial number through receiving, production, storage, and shipment. Essential for recall management, warranty tracking, and regulatory compliance in food, pharma, and electronics.
Reorder point and safety stock management
Automated reorder point calculations based on lead time, demand variability, and desired service levels. Triggers purchase requisitions or transfer orders when stock falls below configurable safety thresholds.
Inventory valuation (FIFO, LIFO, weighted average)
Supports multiple costing methods with automatic valuation updates on every inventory transaction. Ensures accurate cost-of-goods-sold reporting and aligns with accounting standards required for your jurisdiction.
Cycle counting and physical inventory
ABC classification-based cycle counting schedules, variance approval workflows, and full physical inventory count support. Maintains inventory accuracy without disruptive wall-to-wall counts by focusing effort on high-value items.
Inventory forecasting and optimisation
Demand-driven safety stock optimisation, slow-moving and obsolete stock identification, and inventory turn analysis. Reduces carrying costs while maintaining target fill rates through data-driven stocking decisions.
Barcode and RFID integration
Native support for barcode scanning (1D/2D) and RFID tag reading for receiving, picking, counting, and shipping. Eliminates manual data entry errors and accelerates warehouse throughput by 20–40%.

Inventory Management FAQ
What is an ERP inventory module?
An ERP inventory module tracks stock levels, locations, and movements in real time. It manages reorder points, lot/serial tracking, inventory valuation, and integrates with purchasing, manufacturing, and sales to maintain optimal stock levels.
How does ERP inventory differ from standalone inventory software?
ERP inventory is integrated with purchasing, manufacturing, sales, and finance — providing a single source of truth. Standalone inventory tools require manual synchronisation with other business systems.
Which inventory valuation method should I use?
FIFO is most common and required for perishable goods. Weighted average is simpler and common in distribution. LIFO is less common but used for tax purposes in some US industries. Your ERP should support your required method.
Can ERP manage inventory across multiple warehouses?
Yes, most modern ERPs support multi-warehouse management with inter-warehouse transfers, location-specific reorder points, and consolidated visibility across all locations.
How does ERP inventory support traceability?
ERPs track lot and serial numbers through the entire lifecycle — receiving, storage, production, and shipment. This enables forward and backward traceability for recalls, quality issues, and regulatory compliance.
