Product
Inventory and profit tracking for businesses that buy, make, and sell. Four stations, and two routes through them — a flipper never visits the second, a maker sends goods through it twice, a warehouse works all four. Same product, same data.
Record what you bought and what it cost — one item or a whole pallet, pieces or bulk, with freight and fees beside it.
Inspect, label, place on a shelf, make it available. One click for a flipper; a proper station for a warehouse.
List on your channels, record the sale, and stock is reserved the moment it is agreed — so nothing sells twice.
Profit per item, per channel, per size or color. Slow stock by days of cover. A P&L that matches the dashboard to the cent.
Everything starts with an intake — what you bought and what it cost. From there goods either go out as they came in, or through a work order that turns them into something else.

true cost, either way
Both routes share one Prepare station and one stock ledger — cost means the same thing whichever way the goods came. What the materials cost is what the finished piece cost.
Record the purchase and what it cost. Inspect, label and shelve what arrived, and it becomes available. List it, sell it — and the cost of that exact piece follows it onto the sale. For a flipper, Prepare is one click on the received list; for a warehouse it is a station with its own worklist.
Buy materials through the very same intake. A work order reserves them, its recipe says what one batch takes, and what comes off the line is new stock — which passes back through Prepare and sells like anything else.
What makes it different
Mixed-lot costing
A storage unit, a reseller pallet, an estate lot — one price for a pile of unknown stuff. Record it as one purchase, start unpacking and listing in batches, and close it when you are done.

OpenStorage unit · one price, contents unknown
Costs stay provisional until you close — keep unpacking, keep selling.

CompletedOn close, $1,500.00 spreads fairly across all 138 items — including the 21 already sold, whose profit updates to the final figure.

Landed cost
How this exact unit got its number
True landed cost per item
Cost is captured at purchase and carried at the finest grain — the individual piece. Freight and fees are spread by weight; packaging is counted into the sale it shipped in.
Pieces and bulk inventory
A jacket is a piece, tracked on its own, optionally with a serial number. Fabric by the yard is a lot. Intakes tracks both on the same purchase — and lots can be split, merged and transferred without losing a cent of cost history.

The 4 recorded sweaters are real stock already — preppable and sellable before the run closes.
Production and recipes
Buy your materials like anything else, then run a work order that consumes them. The recipe holds the standing formula — what one batch is made from and how much it yields — and pre-fills the run. What actually happens on the bench is what gets costed.
Work queue and storage locations
Every state where stock or cost is mid-flight is counted on the dashboard with what to do about it. Every shelf says what is standing on it right now, and every piece keeps its own location history.
Work Queue
Received stock waiting to be prepared, open purchases waiting to be closed, reserved sales waiting to ship, totals that do not add up — counted, with the next step named.
Reports and profit
By item, by sale, by channel, by size or color. Slow stock ranked by days of cover. A profit & loss statement whose profit line is the dashboard's to the cent — with returns and write-offs on their own lines below it, never hidden inside it.

Slow-moving inventory
Sellable stock ranked by days of cover — how long the stock on hand lasts at its recent sales pace
How long today’s pile lasts at its current pace — so a steady seller and a dusty one-off are both read right.
Corrections and audit history
Real operations mis-count, mis-type, and change their minds. Every document has an honest way back, and nothing rewrites history silently.

One language
Every item says what it is for — five capabilities — and every station reads them. An intake buys what is purchasable, a work order consumes and produces, a sale ships what is sellable and counts the box. The right items are in the right pickers, everywhere.
