Real-time inventory across 12 warehouses

Northwind moved 9,000 SKUs through 12 warehouses with no shared stock view. Buyers over-ordered in one region while another stocked out. We implemented ERPNext with automated, demand-based replenishment.

The challenge

Each warehouse ran its own reorder logic from local memory. There was no consolidated stock position, no reorder automation, and no way to move surplus between regions. Working capital was tied up in the wrong places while fast movers ran dry.

Our approach

  1. 01

    Modelled all 12 warehouses under one ERPNext instance with a shared item master.

  2. 02

    Configured reorder levels and automated material requests per warehouse.

  3. 03

    Built inter-warehouse stock transfer workflows for surplus balancing.

  4. 04

    Created live stock and ageing dashboards for the buying team.

  5. 05

    Migrated historical purchase and stock data for demand forecasting.

The solution

One ERPNext instance now shows live stock across all 12 sites. Automated reorder logic raises material requests before stockouts, and transfer workflows shift surplus where it's needed. Buyers plan from real demand instead of memory, and cash stopped sitting on dead stock.
