Inventory Management

Mercury provides comprehensive tracking and traceability for individual stock units, whether they are pallets, bins, cartons, or other inventory items. This optional module seamlessly integrates with Mercury’s Order and Shipment Management functionality, providing an additional level of visibility and control over your inventory.

While the Order and Shipment modules can operate effectively without tracking individual stock units, their capabilities are significantly enhanced when combined with Mercury’s Inventory Management module. By recording the movement and location of individual stock units, Mercury gives you a precise, real-time view of where your inventory has originated, where it is currently located, and where it is destined to go.

This detailed level of inventory visibility enables more effective order fulfilment by helping you identify the most appropriate stock and shipment locations for each customer order. Comprehensive reporting provides insight into stock movements and availability, while full traceability allows you to track exactly which stock was received, moved, allocated, and ultimately delivered.

The result is greater inventory accuracy, improved operational efficiency, and complete confidence in the history and current status of your stock throughout its lifecycle.

  • Mercury makes it quick and straightforward to create the stock units that make up your inventory. Whether you are managing pallets, bulk bins, individual cartons, or other stock-holding units, you can easily create and record them in Mercury as part of your inventory management process.

    Stock can also be created directly from a phone or tablet, making it particularly convenient for warehouse teams processing deliveries on site.

  • Mercury provides a clear and intuitive view of your stock, allowing you to quickly drill down into your inventory and understand what you have, where it is located, and how it is being managed. The Stock On Hand reporting provides multiple perspectives of your inventory, helping you assess stock levels and make informed operational decisions.

    With detailed stock information available at your fingertips, you can move from a high-level overview to the specific stock units you need to investigate, giving you greater visibility and control over your inventory.

  • Mercury allows you to allocate available inventory directly to customer shipments, providing greater control and visibility throughout the fulfilment process. While the Customer Order module can be used independently, integrating it with Stock Management creates a more efficient and connected workflow.

    Stock allocation provides a clear view of how much inventory has been assigned to each shipment, helping prevent both over-allocation and under-allocation. Once stock is allocated, Mercury automatically updates inventory records and Stock On Hand reporting, ensuring your available stock levels remain accurate and up to date.
