How Stocklyst helps
AI Import Engine
Spreadsheet columns do not map cleanly to required schema — Upload CSV or Excel files, review AI-suggested mappings, validate, and import
Auto min/max calculation
Reorder and staging decisions are reactive — Research-based reorder points for high-frequency consumables and priority SKUs
Expiry tracking
Date-sensitive inventory is not monitored — Zone-level expiry dates with automatic near-expiry monitoring across all locations
Zone-level tracking
Teams cannot reliably locate staged goods — Strict inbound, cross-dock, and outbound zone model with required zone assignment
Bundle management
Reusable transport and service packs are tracked inconsistently — Define packs as bundles and monitor component bottlenecks
Variant management
Packaging and container variants are not grouped together — Group packaging variations under one parent item with independent SKU and quantity per variant
Related item links
Co-shipped items are not linked for coordinated dispatch planning — Link co-shipped items so dispatch teams can verify related stock before loading
Offline mobile app
Updates from yard and dock are delayed by poor connectivity — Capture movements offline and sync automatically on reconnect
Activity logs
No structured audit trail for SLA compliance disputes — Full audit trail of every adjustment, transfer, and status change with user attribution
Barcode scanning
Mis-routes propagate because transfer points lack scan verification — Built-in barcode scanner to verify picks at each handoff point and reduce errors

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what logistics teams typically ask before setting up Stocklyst.
Can I track inventory across multiple depots and a cross-dock facility?
Yes. Create a branch for each hub, depot, and cross-dock site. Use zones like Inbound Staging, Cross-Dock Queue, and Outbound Staging to track flow. Transfers between branches track every movement.
How does Stocklyst handle multi-client 3PL inventory?
Use the Client Account custom field and SLA Tier tags to separate and filter inventory by client. Each client lane has its own visibility, and activity logs provide full audit trails for compliance.
Can I track exception and return handling?
Create dedicated Returns Hold, Damage Hold, and Exception Hold zones. Adjustment reason codes standardize exception handling, and transfers track every movement from exception to resolution.
Does it work in yard and dock areas with weak connectivity?
The mobile app works fully offline. Scan, count, and update inventory in weak-signal zones, then sync everything when connectivity returns.
