# Warehouses in more than one country, one stock figure you trust > Balances per warehouse and documented transfers between branches, even across countries, with a reorder alert before an item runs out. - **URL:** https://www.snad.io/global/en/inventory - **Part of:** Snad — every app runs on the same database and is included in every plan (https://www.snad.io/global/en/pricing) ## Inventory that stays in step with your accounting and sales - Live tracking of stock movements: receipt, issue, transfer, return - Multiple warehouses and branches with independent balances and a consolidated group report - A transfer between locations recorded as a movement at its cost, not as a message - Average cost updated on every receipt whatever the purchase currency - A reorder point per item per location, with an automatic alert - Barcode and QR scanning across every operation - Cycle and full counts with variance settlement and its entry - Permissions per location: who issues, who counts, and who sees cost ## When do you need inventory software? Five signs that counting by hand is now costing you sales, not just time - **Landed cost never reaches the item's cost:** Freight, insurance and handling are paid outside the supplier's bill and then forgotten, so the margin looks better than it is. Rolling them into unit cost makes the profit you see the profit you made. - **Stock sits across countries with no total you trust:** When every location keeps its own file, "how many do we hold?" becomes a manual sum that is stale within the hour. One balance answers it as it stands. - **You buy in several currencies and value in one:** When batches are bought in different currencies, average cost moves with the exchange rate rather than the price. Computing the average at each receipt separates the two effects. - **Lead time differs by source:** A nearby supplier delivers in days and a distant one in weeks, so a minimum level that suits one runs the other out. Setting the level per source handles it. - **Moving between locations leaves no accounting trace:** Moving goods between two locations is not a sale, but it changes where the value sits. Recording it at cost keeps each location's value correct without inventing profit. ## Stock inside the till or full inventory software? Most point-of-sale systems draw down quantities — the difference starts after the draw-down | Movement | Stock inside the till | Full inventory management | | --- | --- | --- | | Locations | Usually one location | Warehouses and branches with independent balances and a total | | Transfer between locations | Not supported — recorded by hand | A movement recorded at its cost | | Cost | Usually the last purchase price | An average updated on every receipt, whatever its currency | | Reordering | Left to whoever notices | A point per item per location, with an alert | | Counting | A full count that stops the business | Cycle counting by barcode with settlement and its entry | | Permissions | Whoever opens the till sees everything | A permission per location and per operation | Drawing down a quantity is the easy part of inventory. The hard part comes after: where the goods are, what they cost on the way in, and when to reorder — three questions a draw-down does not answer. ## Common questions about inventory management ### Does Snad support multiple warehouses in different locations? Yes, Snad manages an unlimited number of warehouses with per-location balance tracking and inter-warehouse transfers. ### How does inventory sync with sales and purchases? Every sales invoice automatically deducts from inventory, and every receiving order adds to it. No duplicate manual entry needed. ### Does Snad support barcodes for inventory? Yes, you can use barcode scanners to add items in sales and purchases and quickly view inventory. ### How do reorder-point alerts work? A minimum quantity is defined per item; when stock drops to this level, Snad sends an automatic alert to issue a new purchase order. ### Can I perform stock counts in Snad? Yes, Snad supports both full and periodic stock counts with automatic comparison between actual quantities and digital records, plus variance adjustments. ### Does inventory work offline? No. Snad is cloud-based, so stock screens, counts and transfers — like every other app, point of sale included — need an internet connection. In return there is nothing to install: you open inventory in the browser on any device, from any branch, and everyone sees the same balance updated in real time with no conflicting copies. ### What is the difference between a reorder alert and automatic purchasing? An alert tells you an item has hit its minimum level and leaves the decision to you. Automatic purchasing finishes the job: you set a minimum and a maximum per item, and they can differ from one warehouse to another. Snad then checks stock once a day, works out the shortfall, groups items from the same supplier into one purchase order, and sends it over WhatsApp and email. The order can also wait for your approval. ### What happens when a physical count does not match the system? You enter the counted quantity per item and Snad shows the variance against the system balance, line by line, before you commit. On approval the balance is corrected and the adjustment is recorded as a stock movement with its accounting effect, so no unexplained gap is left between the shelf and the books. Count a single warehouse or run a full count across all of them. ### How do I track goods in transit between two branches? A transfer order names the items, the quantities and the receiving warehouse, and its status stays visible from dispatch through receipt. You can see what has left the first warehouse and has not yet landed in the second, with an independent balance per warehouse plus one consolidated report across branches. No branch transfer that rests on a phone call and a paper note. ### Is inventory included in the free plan? Yes. All ten Snad apps are available on every plan; plans differ only in user count, how many apps you run at once, e-invoicing options, and the watermark. Starter is free with one user and up to three apps, Basic is $39 a month with three users, and Pro is $99 with five users; on both paid plans you can add extra users at $5 per user per month. The trial runs 7 days with no credit card. ## What Snad does for a business outside Saudi Arabia - **Tax rate:** configurable. You set the rate that applies to your invoices; it then applies to subsequent invoices and is shown separately from net sales in reports. Snad applies the configured rate and does not determine which rate is correct for a given business. - **Invoicing currency:** you choose the currency your customers are invoiced in. It is independent of the currency you are billed in for the subscription (USD outside Saudi Arabia). - **Government e-invoicing portals:** direct integration is available inside Saudi Arabia only. Elsewhere Snad issues invoices with sequential numbering and a QR code, keeps the archive and exports in standard formats, with no direct link to a national portal. - **Interface:** Arabic and English, per user, in the same account. --- ## About the publisher **Snad (سند)** — Sole proprietorship, founded 2025.
