Inventory feeds every operational loop
Complete position visibility across every location
Inventory positions are tracked by SKU, location, bin, and lot so teams can see the operational truth without reconciling spreadsheets. The system keeps on-hand, available, and on-hold quantities in sync across receiving, allocation, and fulfillment activity. Status signals such as In Stock, Low Stock, and Expiring Soon are computed directly from live records and expiry windows. As procurement and fulfillment transitions complete, inventory views update with the same underlying state used by operators.
- - On-hand, available, and committed quantities per SKU
- - Multi-location and multi-warehouse support
- - Inbound PO quantity reservation
- - Live sync with procurement and fulfillment loops

Lot and serial number traceability
Lot records carry lifecycle context from receiving through dispatch, including expiry state and hold status. Teams can isolate quality events at the lot level instead of blocking an entire SKU, so exceptions stay contained while sellable stock remains available. Expiry windows and recall markers are visible directly in lot views to support FEFO and compliance workflows. Every lot movement is captured as a traceable sequence of events that operations and compliance can review.
- - Full lot lifecycle from GRN to shipment
- - Expiry date tracking and first-expiry-first-out logic
- - Quality hold at lot level, not just SKU level
- - Immutable audit trail for every lot event
Replenishment signals, not spreadsheets
Reorder controls are maintained per SKU and location with min/max levels, reorder quantities, and lead-time assumptions. As inventory moves, the system evaluates current position against thresholds and emits demand pressure signals into the loop model. Teams can review transfer recommendations that rebalance stock from surplus to deficit locations before a stockout occurs. Forecast and bookings context can be blended into planning recommendations so safety stock decisions stay grounded in demand variability and service targets.
- - Configurable min/max thresholds per SKU per location
- - Automatic threshold_breach_detected events to the loop engine
- - Transfer recommendations from surplus to deficit locations
- - Forecast-aware safety stock calculations

Built for operators
Inventory in Better Data is a live operational record, not a reporting database. Every adjustment, transfer, allocation, and hold is a traceable event in the loop engine audit trail. Your ops team works in the same data that your AI agents read.
API and integration
- REST API - full inventory CRUD, bulk import, adjustment endpoints
- Loop events - inventory state changes emit domain events consumable by loop definitions or external webhook handlers
- Commerce Gateway - inventory availability exposed to AI agents via MCP shop command
