At StockTrim, we say that your Inventory Management System is the single source of truth.
In other words, without the data that's stored there, it would be impossible for StockTrim to forecast your demand and plan your inventory requirements.
It couldn't be more important, then, that you choose the right platform to record and manage your inventory.
When you load your data in StockTrim, we need to read up to 6 categories of data. These are product information, sales history, suppliers and locations, as well as purchase orders and Bill of Materials depending on the system.
Since we get asked this question a lot - what Inventory Management Systems are small businesses using? - we've compiled a list of our favourite tools in this post.
You can confidently rely on proven systems like Inflow, Katana, Fishbowl, SkuVault, Unleashed, Cin7, or QuickBooks Commerce, which are the most commonly used solutions among our customers.
