Six Mile Motor Works
A motor-works spares counter running its parts catalogue, stock levels and movements live on our own domain.
What actually breaks
The stock figure is a spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet is a snapshot of a count that finished on Tuesday. Goods move between branches on a message and get deducted from one location without ever being added to the other. Sales are made against stock that has already gone. Dead stock is discovered during an annual count, long after the money was tied up in it.
How we build it
The core decision is that stock is not a number on a product; it is the running total of movements. Every receipt, transfer, sale, adjustment and return is written as an immutable movement row against a location and, where relevant, a bin, batch or serial. Current quantity is derived from those rows, so it can always be explained. Transfers are modelled in two legs with an in-transit state, which is what stops units vanishing between branches. Reorder points run against consumption over a rolling window rather than a fixed minimum, and generate a draft purchase order for a human to approve.
What goes wrong on these projects
The opening balance. Almost every rollout stalls on the first physical count, because the existing data disagrees with the shelf and someone has to decide which is right before the system can be trusted. Expect a cycle-count period rather than a clean switch. The second issue is unit of measure: a supplier sells cases, the floor picks singles, and if the conversion is not modelled explicitly the numbers drift again within weeks.
What changes after
Stock is live, and every number traces back to a movement with a time and a person against it. Transfers reconcile instead of leaking. Reorders happen before a stockout rather than after a complaint. A production rollout for a single-site operation typically takes 6–10 weeks.
Before you ask
Can it integrate with our accounting system?
Yes. Foxquart syncs purchases, sales and stock valuation with the accounting platform you already run, so finance and operations report the same numbers. Inventory software that does not reconcile against the accounts simply creates a second version of the truth, which is the problem most warehouses are trying to leave behind.
How long does implementation take?
A production rollout of Foxquart inventory management software for a single-site operation typically takes 6–10 weeks. That covers live stock by location and bin, barcode receiving and picking, reorder points and supplier purchase orders. Delivery runs in two-week increments, so warehouse staff see and correct the workflows before go-live.
Can you migrate our existing stock data?
Yes. Foxquart cleans, maps and migrates existing stock data, then reconciles it before cutover so opening balances are trusted from day one. Spreadsheet counts are usually wrong by the time they are shared, so migration includes agreeing which counts are authoritative rather than importing the existing errors.
Does it handle multiple warehouses and branches?
Yes. Foxquart inventory systems hold live stock across every location and bin, including multi-location transfers, so one branch can see real availability elsewhere instead of phoning to ask. Batch, serial and expiry traceability follows goods across those transfers, which is what makes recalls and audits answerable.
Why not use off-the-shelf inventory software?
Use it if it fits, and Foxquart will say so when it does. Custom becomes the right call when your bin logic, transfer rules, batch and expiry handling or valuation method break the packaged model. Those gaps end up back in spreadsheets, which is where the stock errors started.
What does inventory management software cost to build?
Foxquart publishes no price for inventory software, because scope decides it. A fixed-price discovery defines locations, workflows and integrations, then produces the delivery cost before you commit to it. Operational systems of this kind typically pay back in 8–14 months, largely through the stockouts and dead stock that stop happening.
