How Stocklyst helps
AI Import Engine
Spreadsheet BOM columns map inconsistently to import fields — Upload CSV or Excel, let AI map columns, resolve conflicts, and validate before import
Auto min/max calculation
Recurring parts stock out and stop production lines — Research-based reorder points for stable, high-use items reviewed weekly by branch
Expiry tracking
Dated materials like adhesives and resins are consumed too late — Zone-level expiry dates with automatic near-expiry monitoring across all storage areas
Zone-level tracking
Teams cannot find the right part or bin quickly — Strict zone and bin structure with required quantity-by-zone updates
Bundle management
Kits and build sets are assembled inconsistently — Standard build bundles with component bottleneck monitoring
Variant management
Part variants for different sizes and coatings are tracked as unlinked items — Group part variations under one parent item with independent SKU and quantity per variant
Related item links
Alternate materials are hard to locate when the primary spec is unavailable — Link alternate and substitute materials to primary parts for quick sourcing fallback
Offline mobile app
Floor posting lags due to connectivity or workflow friction — Capture issue, transfer, and count offline, sync automatically on reconnect

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what manufacturing teams typically ask before setting up Stocklyst.
Can I track raw materials, WIP, and finished goods in one system?
Yes. Create branches for each stage — raw materials warehouse, line-side stores, WIP area, and finished goods. Use zones within each branch for more granular tracking.
How does Stocklyst handle production kits and BOMs?
Use bundles to define repeatable build kits. Stocklyst tracks component availability and highlights bottleneck items. For BOM versioning, use the Revision custom field and keep full revision history in your engineering system.
Can I link material issues to production orders?
Use a custom field or tag to reference work orders on material issue transactions. Keep work-order lifecycle management in your MES or ERP while Stocklyst handles the inventory side.
How do I manage permissions for floor workers vs planners?
Granular role-based permissions control who can adjust inventory, view reports, manage settings, and export data. Restrict branch access so floor teams only see assigned locations.
