Stock Control
Know what you have, and what it's worth
In a merchant business, stock sits at the centre of everything. It drives purchasing decisions, sales commitments, margin control and working capital.
Merchanter gives you structured stock and product management inside your ERP system, so availability, cost and movement reflect what’s actually happening across the yard, warehouse and branches - helping you stock smarter across the entire operation.
Stock structure
Define how stock is held and managed, whether by unit, length, weight or area, so your system reflects how you actually trade.

Everything is tracked, audited and updated in one place, giving you stock figures you can trust.
Location-based stock control
Stock doesn’t sit still. It moves between yards, warehouses and branches as orders are fulfilled.
Merchanter tracks stock by location, so availability reflects where it actually is. Transfers, allocations and movements are all recorded, giving a clear, real-time view across the business.
Stock confidence
Merchanter calculates a stock confidence level based on recent movements, counts and adjustments.
Where confidence is high, teams can rely on the figures. Where confidence drops, the system highlights the need for verification, preventing incorrect assumptions and supporting more controlled selling decisions.
Stock Turn
Understand how quickly products move through the business so purchasing reflects real demand rather than guesswork - helping you buy better based on real demand.
