Inventory Management

    Every SKU watched. Every reorder handled.

    Likwid forecasts demand for every item, catches the reorder point before you're short, and replenishes across the warehouses of your multi-branch distribution on its own — layered on the ERP you already run.

    The problem

    Inventory is where the cash hides

    Too much and it's working capital frozen on a shelf. Too little and the line stops. Planning by hand never lands in the middle — not without a real demand forecasting engine under it.

    01

    Overstocking drains cash

    Excess inventory traps working capital, piles on holding cost and quietly ages into write-offs — because manual planning buys 'just in case'.

    02

    Stockouts halt the line

    One missing raw material or WIP part stalls production, blows the delivery date and strains the customer.

    03

    Spreadsheets break at scale

    Excel can't hold multi-warehouse reality, live demand signals or any real forecast — so planning is always a step behind.

    04

    ERP modules only report

    Legacy inventory modules tell you what already happened. They don't see what's coming, and they never act on it.

    Inside the platform

    Inventory, the way a factory actually runs it

    The real Flow screens — the item card, its inward batches, the ledger that reconciles, and a bill of materials that explodes stage by stage.

    The whole item, on one card. In-stock, inwards, value and the min/max levels — then the four places the item's life is recorded.

    Every batch, dated and valued. Batch number, method, quantity, rate, expiry and value — so FEFO issues and shelf-life are a fact of the record, not a spreadsheet someone maintains.

    The BOM, stage by stage. Each production stage carries its machines and its materials. Where a material is semi-finished it explodes into its own BOM — so one order nets demand at every level, down to raw and purchased goods.

    Every SKU has a heartbeat

    Stock falls, hits the reorder point, gets replenished, climbs back — over and over, on thousands of items at once. Likwid watches every one of those lines so nobody has to check a spreadsheet to find the one about to flatline — the day you've outgrown the spreadsheet.

    Why Likwid

    Built for the factory, not the rack

    AI-native, not a rules engine

    Built on models that learn your patterns — not a retrofitted set of if-then thresholds.

    Built for the factory

    Designed around multi-stage production, BOMs and batches, not generic warehouse racks.

    No rip-and-replace

    Layers on top of SAP, Oracle, Odoo, Dynamics or your own stack — live in weeks, not years.

    Built for India

    Inventory management software for Indian manufacturers

    Most stock software is built for a single warehouse and a clean master. Indian factories run several godowns, a Tally ledger, and a stock register somebody maintains by hand.

    01

    Stock across every godown, in one view

    Plants, godowns and depots in different states, each with its own stock register today. Likwid holds them as one live picture — so a shortage in Bhiwandi can be covered from Baddi before anyone raises a purchase order.

    02

    You're on Tally and Excel. That's fine.

    Tally is a good ledger and a poor planner. Likwid layers on top and takes the planning — demand per SKU, reorder points, replenishment — while your books stay exactly where your CA expects them. No migration, no rip-and-replace.

    03

    Batch and expiry, because pharma and food need it

    The verticals that run India's SMB manufacturing — pharma, nutraceuticals, food and FMCG — live on batch numbers and expiry dates. Issues pick the earliest-expiring batch on their own and expired stock is blocked before it can ship.

    04

    Priced for a ₹20–200 crore factory

    Per-user pricing in rupees, not an enterprise licence plus a system integrator. You can self-host the open-source core for free, or run it on our cloud — and be live in about three weeks rather than most of a year.

    FAQ

    Inventory management, answered

    The questions teams ask before they switch on inventory intelligence.

    For an Indian manufacturer the answer depends less on feature lists and more on three things: whether it holds stock across several godowns as one live picture, whether it plans rather than only records, and whether it works alongside the Tally ledger you already keep. Likwid does all three — it forecasts demand per SKU, sets reorder points, replenishes across locations, and layers on top of your existing books instead of replacing them.

    Yes, and that's how most of our customers start. Tally stays your ledger and your CA's system of record; Likwid takes the planning — demand per SKU, reorder points, batch and expiry, replenishment across godowns. There's no migration to do before you get value, and you're usually live in about three weeks.

    The best inventory management software for a factory does far more than count stock — it forecasts demand per SKU, sets reorder points automatically and replenishes across warehouses. Likwid is built AI-native for exactly that, and layers on top of the ERP you already run instead of replacing it.

    Most ERP inventory modules report what already happened. Likwid predicts what's coming — it watches every SKU against its reorder point and acts before you're short, rather than waiting for a manual stock check at month-end.

    Yes. Likwid is ERP-agnostic — it sits on top of SAP, Oracle, Odoo, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally or a custom stack. No rip-and-replace, and no multi-year migration to get value.

    Three things at once: overstocking that traps working capital, stockouts that halt the line, and the manual planning in between. Likwid handles demand forecasting, reorder points, safety stock and multi-warehouse allocation so you land in the middle.

    It learns from your own sales history, seasonality and live demand signals to project each SKU's need — then keeps adjusting as real orders arrive, instead of relying on a flat average or a static min-max rule.

    Because Likwid layers on your existing systems rather than replacing them, most teams are live in weeks — not the years a full ERP inventory implementation takes.
