Inventory management software that shows what’s in stock, always

LocalPOS is inventory management software that keeps your stock count honest. Every sale takes stock out, every purchase puts it back in, and you get a warning before a fast-moving item runs out. Whether you stock fifty items or fifty thousand, you always know what is on the shelf and what to reorder.

  • Low-stock alerts
  • Variants and units
What you get

Inventory management software for retailers who count every item

Whether you sell by the piece, the kilo or the box, LocalPOS keeps the count right.

  • Live stock levels

    Quantities change the moment you bill or receive goods, so you never guess what is left.

  • Low-stock alerts

    Set a minimum for each item and see a clear list of what needs reordering before it runs out.

  • Variants and units

    Handle sizes, colours and units like kg, litres or boxes without creating duplicate items.

  • Stock adjustments with reasons

    Record damage, loss or a recount with a reason, so every change is explained.

  • Categories and bulk entry

    Organise items into categories and add many items at once instead of one by one.

  • Stock value

    See what your stock is worth at cost and at selling price, item by item or in total.

The stock cycle

POS inventory management software that follows every bill

Stock is never typed in twice. It moves because your buying and selling moves.

  1. 1

    Add your items

    Create items one by one or in bulk, with prices, units and opening stock.

  2. 2

    Receive stock

    Record purchases when goods arrive and stock goes up automatically.

  3. 3

    Sell

    Each bill takes stock out, so the count follows your sales.

  4. 4

    Reorder in time

    Low-stock alerts tell you what to buy before a shelf goes empty.

Every change explained

Stock inventory management software with a history for every item

Open any item and see exactly how its count changed: what sold, what arrived and what was adjusted, with the date beside each line.

When a number looks wrong, you do not have to guess. The ledger shows the story behind it.

Variants and units

Retail inventory management software that understands sizes, colours and boxes

Create the item once and add its variants. Sell by the piece, buy by the box, and LocalPOS keeps both counts in step.

  • See at a glance which size or colour has run out.
  • Set a different reorder level for each variant.
  • Switch units, such as kg and grams or boxes and pieces, without recounting.
Answers

Questions about inventory management software

What is inventory management software?
Inventory management software tracks the items you hold, how many you have and how they move in and out. It replaces stock registers and spreadsheets with live counts that update as you buy and sell.
Is LocalPOS suitable as retail inventory management software?
Yes. Retail shops need quick item lookup, variants, units, low-stock alerts and stock that follows every bill. LocalPOS provides all of these in the same system you use to bill.
Does this work as POS inventory management software?
It does. Because billing and stock live together, a sale at the counter reduces stock immediately. There is no separate register to update.
How do low-stock alerts work?
You set a minimum quantity for an item. When stock falls to that level, the item shows up in your low-stock list so you can reorder before it runs out.
Can I add many items at once?
Yes. You can add items in bulk instead of typing each one separately, which saves hours when you first move your stock into LocalPOS.
