Everything You Need to Run a Modern Manufacturing Operation

Smart reorder suggestions based on usage patterns, lead times, and current stock levels.

See exactly when materials will run out based on current production rates and orders.

Proactive alerts before you hit a stockout or run out of stock — not after.

AI-driven demand signals help you order the right amount at the right time.

Auto-generate and validate consistent SKU codes for new products and CSV imports.

Always know exactly what you have on hand, where it's located, and how much it's worth.

Full traceability from raw material receipt to finished goods shipment.

Track expiration dates and get ahead of aging or slow-moving stock before it becomes a write-off.

Track material waste and shrinkage by reason to identify cost leaks and improve yield.

Streamlined physical counts and stock takes with barcode scanning and discrepancy flagging — on Android, Nstock's mobile scanning pages also support NFC tap-to-scan: hold a tag to your phone instead of using the camera. A dedicated mobile app for scanning on the shop floor is coming soon.

Manage inventory stored in boxes, bins, or containers with nested tracking.

Track and filter inventory value across multiple warehouses or storage locations.

Migrate your existing data quickly with bulk upload and export support for products, BOMs, suppliers, and more — matched by column header, not order. Every import ends with a review step: uncheck rows to exclude them or edit fields inline before anything is saved.

Maintain an asset register for the equipment you own — forklifts, shelving, computers, office furniture, vehicles, and tools — with asset tags, barcodes, status, location, and assigned owner. Completely separate from product/stock inventory: zero overlap with lots, BOMs, production, or COGS. Scan a barcode to look up an asset, or run a walk-the-floor barcode audit that tracks what's been found live and flags anything active that's still missing. On Android, tap an NFC tag to pull up an asset instantly, and encode blank tags right from the app — encoded tags also open the asset on iPhone with a tap, and desktop scan and audit screens accept USB barcode scanners and keyboard-wedge RFID readers too. Available on the Business plan.

Define multi-level recipes and formulations with components, quantities, and yield percentages.

Define a multi-level BOM — mixing, sub-assembly, bottling, packing — as one recipe instead of a separate BOM per stage. Produce up to any step, track work-in-progress (WIP) as it happens, and stock intermediate components in inventory as soon as that stage completes.

Store private-label and white-label formulas for each customer separately from your standard house recipes — built for contract manufacturing and co-packing businesses. Duplicate any house BOM into a customer's custom-formulation blend in one click, maintain a dedicated wholesale customer registry, and tag orders and quotes as retail, wholesale, or custom so you can filter B2B and B2C activity by channel.

Start a production run and watch inventory update automatically across all components.

Track batches from in-progress to completed with full audit history.

Manage contract manufacturing and outsourced production runs alongside in-house batches.

Manage suppliers, lead times, purchase history, and supplier vetting in one place.

Attach every document that travels with a material lot — Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS/MSDS), Certificate of Conformance (CoC), Technical Data Sheet (TDS), allergen statements, Kosher/Halal/Organic/Non-GMO/Fair Trade/Vegan certifications, country of origin certificates, nutritional panels, test reports, and REACH/RoHS compliance docs — so track and trace paperwork follows the batch from receiving through production to end of life.

One dashboard for your highest sales months, lowest-stock items, and active stock/expiry issues that need attention.

See exactly which items came up short or over during counts, scans, and manual corrections — with the dollar cost impact of each.

Accurate COGS tracking per product including materials, labor, and overhead.

Real-time stock valuation of your current inventory, with breakdowns by brand and warehouse.

A frozen, point-in-time ending inventory value generated automatically for each closed month — ready to hand straight to finance.

See how many times your average inventory value sold through in a given period.

Spot slow-moving or dead stock before it becomes a write-off, bucketed by how long it's been on hand.

See the value of materials currently tied up in active, in-progress production batches.

Track dollars committed on purchase orders that haven't been received yet, for cash-flow planning.

Understand where your money is going across suppliers and material categories.

See the true cost of waste, shrinkage, and spoilage by material, reason, and time period.

Review and optimize reorder points across your entire product catalog.

Forward-looking financial reports based on projected inventory consumption.

Create, track, and fulfill customer orders with real-time inventory checks.

Build quotes for finished goods using real-time cost and margin data, without ever showing internal costs to buyers.

Issue POs to suppliers and automatically update stock on receipt.

Animated, per-shipment progress tracking on every purchase order — inbound delivery status, carrier checkpoint history, and package tracking for split or multi-box orders.

Track order status from confirmed to shipped with inventory reservation.

System-generated reorder and repurchase recommendations based on stock levels and order history.

OAuth-based integration syncs orders, customers, and inventory automatically, and deducts stock on fulfillment.

Connect your WordPress/WooCommerce store for the same automatic order and inventory sync as Shopify.

Sync inventory value and orders to your accounting — monthly journal entries and order-to-invoice sync, both optional and off by default.

Connect Amazon Seller Central via Login with Amazon. FBM (merchant-fulfilled) orders sync and can deduct inventory on fulfillment; FBA (Amazon-fulfilled) orders can import for sales and COGS reporting. Sync on demand with the Sync Orders Now button.

Connect ShipStation with an API Key/Secret pair and pull shipments back into Nstock on demand — each shipment matches its order by order number, records the carrier and tracking number, and marks the order fulfilled.

Push stock level updates back to your storefront to prevent overselling and stockouts.

Orders from connected stores automatically create production requirements in Nstock.

For teams outgrowing the packaged integrations above, Nstock's Custom plan can include API access built around your legacy ERP, 3PL, or internal tools — scoped one-on-one, not a self-serve public API.

5+ user roles including Admin, Manager, Operator, and Viewer, with custom roles and per-feature permissions on higher tiers.

Optional phone-based MFA to keep your account secure.

Every action is logged with user attribution, timestamp, and change details.

Your data is completely isolated from other companies — always.

Export or import your full account data — useful for backups, migrations, or offboarding.

Configure who gets alerted for low stock, expiring lots, and order events.
