You might be wondering if an Inventory Management System is for you. But if you distribute products of any kind, then tracking supplier orders and product flow is a priority to you. The IMS modules we offer 3 modules: Production, Inventory, and Shipping module. This system tracks products from their supplier raw materials to the delivery of the finished product to the consumer. Inventory management systems are essential for a wide range of businesses and organizations across various sectors. Here are some examples:

  1. Retail Businesses: These are businesses that sell goods to final consumers. They use IMS software to track stock coming in and out of the business. The IMS software also helps forecast or predict products that could be in demand. Stock will always be available even during hectic seasons like the Christmas and Easter holidays. Examples of businesses in this sector include:
    • Supermarkets
    • Department stores
    • Convenience stores
    • Specialty retailers (e.g., electronics stores, clothing stores)
  2. Manufacturing Companies: Manufacturing companies are perhaps the ones that benefit most from IMS software. Because they manufacture products, IMS software can be used in this sector to its fullest form. With the production module, manufacturing companies can get insights and reports from supplier orders they make, and measure raw material variances. They can use the shipping module to ship products to different locations and use the inventory module to manage stock in and out of the warehouses. Here are a few examples of manufacturing companies that can benefit from the IMS software:
    • Automobile manufacturers
    • Electronics manufacturers
    • Pharmaceutical companies
    • Food and beverage producers
  3. Wholesale Distributors: Just like retail distributors, wholesale distributors sell stock, but not to the final consumer. Wholesale distributors sell in bulk and so they buy in bulk as well. Because many of these distributors have warehouses in different locations, there is need for warehouse management software. Wholesale distributors also use IMS to track inventory in and out of their warehouses. These are examples of businesses in this sector:
    • Distributors of consumer goods
    • Industrial equipment distributors
    • Wholesale suppliers of raw materials
  4. E-commerce Businesses: E-commerce businesses use IMS software to track their inventory. The software can also be use to predict demand of stock. Since e-commerce businesses sell directly to consumers, they find it very important not to overstock or understock their products. Also because this is online shopping, e-commerce stores do not have enough warehouse storage for goods. Having a way to track what is being sold becomes very important to the growth of the business. Here are some examples of e-commerce businesses:
    • Online retailers
    • Drop shipping businesses
    • Fulfillment centers
  5. Healthcare Facilities: Because Healthcare facilities provide ,medication, there is need to track medicine stock. It is also important to track orders from different suppliers that procure different medicine. An IMS software helps automate all this. These are some of the businesses in the healthcare sector:
    • Hospitals
    • Clinics
    • Pharmacies
  6. Hospitality Industry: Almost everyday the hospitality industry procures commodities from different department like food, sanitation, or even sports equipment. But how can they keep track of what they procure? having and Inventory Management system helps them know what is missing and how much has stock is left in particular departments. Here are examples of businesses in the Hospitality industry:
    • Hotels
    • Restaurants
    • Catering services
  7. Logistics and Transportation Companies: Because Logistics companies do a lot of shipping of orders, an IMS would be a great tool to track shipping orders. Here are examples of businesses in this sector:
    • Freight forwarders
    • Shipping companies
    • Warehousing and distribution centers
  8. Agriculture and Farming: Once produce of harvested, commercial farms use IMS tools to transport it to different locations depending on the supply requested. IMS software can also help to forecast how much produce should be made planted for nest seasons depending on the demand analytics. Here are some examples of businesses in this sector:
    • Farms
    • Agricultural cooperatives
    • Agribusiness companies
