Why distributors switch

Stop guessing what's on the shelf.

When stock lives in spreadsheets and an old accounting package, units get mixed up, orders get promised twice, and perishables expire in the back of the warehouse. Our Inventory Management System puts it all in one place, in real time.

The usual problems

  • Buying in cases but selling in packs causes constant conversion errors
  • No clear view of stock that's already promised to customers
  • Containers arrive with no warning and nowhere to put them
  • Old stock expires while newer stock ships first
  • Customers over their credit limit keep ordering

With Yoo Inventory

  • Units of measure set per product, with conversions done for you
  • On hand, reserved, on order and available, for every warehouse
  • Shipments and containers tracked with arrival dates
  • Picking by soonest expiry, with full lot traceability
  • Automatic credit holds and approvals
Features

Built around how distributors really work

Units of measure

Buy in cases. Stock in pieces. Sell in packs.

Every product gets its own units and conversions. Purchase by the case from your supplier, track stock in the smallest unit, and sell by the bag, sack or pallet. The system does the math on every order, receipt and invoice.

  • Different buying, stocking and selling units per product
  • Conversions applied automatically everywhere
  • Prices by unit and by customer tier

From supplier quote to stock on the shelf.

  • Supplier quote comparison and PO approvals
  • Automatic POs from reorder rules, plus blanket POs
  • Container tracking and advance ship notice import
  • Landed cost, vendor bills and 3-way matching

FAQ

Common questions

Which businesses is it designed for?

Wholesale and food distributors with one or more warehouses, perishable or lot-tracked stock, imported container shipments and customers who buy on credit. If you run several distribution businesses, each can be managed in the same system.

Can it handle products with different units?

Yes. This is one of its core strengths. Each product can have its own buying, stocking and selling units, and conversions are applied automatically across purchasing, warehouse and sales.

Can we move from our current ERP?

Yes. We import your items, suppliers, customers and opening balances as part of the 30-day rollout, so you start with your real data.

Does it connect to our accounting software?

The system includes invoicing, payments and receivables. Connections to accounting packages such as QuickBooks, Sage or Xero can be added as a custom integration. Ask us during your demo.

Can it be customized for our business?

Yes. Because we build the software ourselves, we can tailor workflows, reports and documents to the way you work. See custom software.
