  • Reorder suggestions per variant per location, with the maths behind each one
  • Purchase orders from draft to partial receipt, with landed cost allocated
  • Supplier records: lead times, currencies, part numbers and cost history
  • Bundles and kits: how many you can build, and reordering for what is inside
  • Seven reports covering stock health, ageing, margin and supplier performance

Know what to reorder, how much, and when — before the shelf goes empty.

Ballast forecasts demand for every variant at every location from your own sales history, then turns those forecasts into purchase orders you can send to suppliers. It holds supplier lead times, currencies and costs, spreads freight and duty across received lines to give you landed cost per unit, and tracks what is on order so you don't buy the same stock twice. Stocktakes, transfers, write-offs and consignment stock are all covered, each with an audit trail. Every report exports to CSV.
