The problem

Unclear inventory information is expensive in quiet ways.

When stock status lives apart from the work that needs it, the cost shows up as delays, rush orders, and idle time.

  • Counts go out of date between manual updates.
  • Shortages are found on the day the material is needed.
  • Purchasing works from a guess instead of real demand.
  • Production and dispatch can't see what's actually available.
  • Nobody has one honest view of what's on hand.
The workflow

From requirement to available stock.

Each step keeps material status connected to the demand behind it, so availability reflects the real state of the work.

  1. Requirement identified

    A material or stock need is recognised against real demand.

  2. Current availability checked

    See what's already on hand before buying more.

  3. Purchase requirement recorded

    Where something is short, a purchase requirement is logged.

  4. Material received

    Incoming materials are recorded as they arrive.

  5. Inventory updated

    What's on hand is kept current, not guessed at.

  6. Material issued or moved

    Movement is captured as stock is issued or used.

  7. Usage recorded

    Manufacturing or project usage is tied back to the material.

  8. Remaining availability shown

    What's left is visible against the work that needs it.

  9. Dispatch requirement connected

    Stock is linked to the dispatch that depends on it.

  10. Dashboard updated

    Availability and shortages flow into the dashboard.

Purchase requirements

Turn a shortage into a clear purchase requirement.

Identify what's needed against real demand and record a purchase requirement tied to the order or work that needs it.

  • Identify what's needed against real demand.
  • Record a purchase requirement when something is short.
  • Keep it tied to the order or work that needs it.
  • Give purchasing a clear starting point.
Material & stock records

Keep a clear record of what you hold.

Hold material and stock records in one place, connected to the work that consumes them.

  • Hold material and stock records in one place.
  • See what each item is and where it's used.
  • Keep records tied to the work that consumes them.
  • Find the right item quickly.
Receipts & updates

Record what comes in, keep the count current.

Log received materials and update what's on hand, so availability reflects reality instead of the last manual count.

  • Log received materials as they arrive.
  • Update what's on hand.
  • Keep availability current as things come in.
  • Reduce guesswork about stock levels.
Inventory movement

Follow material as it's issued and used.

Record material issued or moved and capture usage against manufacturing or projects, so remaining availability stays honest.

  • Record material issued or moved.
  • Capture usage against manufacturing or projects.
  • See remaining availability.
  • Keep movement connected to demand.
Connected to manufacturing & dispatch

Inventory that stays connected to the work.

Link availability to production and dispatch, so shortages show up against the orders waiting on them.

  • Link availability to production and dispatch.
  • Show shortages against waiting orders.
  • Connect a dispatch requirement to available stock.
  • Avoid surprises on the day work is due.
Inventory dashboards

See what's short before it stops the work.

A report is useful when it changes a decision. Inventory dashboards surface what's short against real orders — not just a long list of items.

  • Current availability of what you hold.
  • Shortages against the orders waiting on them.
  • Recent receipts and movement.
  • Items that need attention first.
FAQ

Common questions

Does it forecast demand?
1LayerX focuses on showing current availability and shortages clearly against real orders. Demand forecasting isn't a claimed capability.
Does it manage multiple warehouses?
The focus is a clear, connected record of what you hold and what's short. Multi-warehouse management isn't something we claim by default.
Does it reorder stock automatically?
Purchase requirements are recorded against real demand so a person can act on them. Automatic replenishment isn't claimed.
Does it connect to manufacturing and dispatch?
Yes. Availability, shortages, and movement stay connected to production and to the dispatches that depend on them.
Can it work inside our current Google Workspace?
Yes. 1LayerX builds configurable systems inside Google Workspace and Google Sheets, so your team keeps working in tools they already know.
Can we start with just inventory?
Yes. Start with inventory, get it accurate and connected, then expand into purchasing, production, or dispatch.
