Inventory Control
Inventory Control Software For Your Growing Business
Better manage your inventory. Finale’s online, cloud based inventory control software is easy to use and will give you better control over your inventory.
Centralized Inventory Tracking
Finale Inventory’s Inventory Control Software enables to keep track of your inventory in one location with the inventory control software. Sync both your offline and online orders in one central location. For online sales, Finale will sync with your shopping cart (e.g, Shopify or Magento) and marketplaces (e.g. Amazon and eBay). Finale also integrates with various POS system such as Square and Lightspeed to manage retail store sales.
With ongoing receiving, picking, and stock transfer operations occurring in your warehouse, employees in remote locations are always able to get a real-time view of inventory stock counts via any Internet-connected device. A wireless mobile barcode scanner would be leverage in the warehouse in improve your warehouse efficiency and improve the picking accuracy of the outcoming shipments.
With advanced order management capability, get a quick snapshot how much inventory you have on hand (QoH) and how much inventory (Avail) you have available to promise. The available to promise count enables you to allocate stock from existing inventory and committed purchase orders.
Additionally, the inventory control software automatically calculates the sales velocity to allow you to quickly understand the hot sellers and the products are not moving well. The Day Tils Stockout calculates how soon to need to reorders by the product stock and sales velocity.
Easy Migration From Excel (or other inventory management systems)
Finale Inventory was designed to accommodate companies that used Excel as their initial inventory management tool and need to migrate to an inventory control software to support their growing business. We built the inventory management software to allow businesses to migrate from Excel in as little time as possible. Finale Inventory can bulk import your customers, suppliers, and product files to expedite the set-up process.
If you are currently using a different inventory management system and are considering migrating over to Finale Inventory, the process is similar as most packages can export files in Excel or CSV format. Watch the video to see how you would import data.
Seamless QuickBooks Integration
Finale Inventory was been designed to manage your stock and integrate in real time directly with your QuickBooks / QuickBooks Online accounting system. The integration is seamless and the benefits to your business are immediate. Save time and avoid errors from duplication. No re-keying of information required.
Multi-location Support
As companies grow, businesses typically will add new locations to support their operations. But keeping track inventory among multiple warehouses can be challenging and more complex. Finale Inventory solves this problem with inventory tracking tools that allow you to:
- Monitor inventory levels by location
- Receive or pick inventory at each location
- Quickly transfer products from one location to another
Stock Auditing Capabilities
Quickly audit and understand any stock discrepancies with the new stock history reports. It can be arduous to understand WHO did WHAT when many users are stock changes (such as purchase order shipments, stock transfer, stock changes, stock takes, and sales orders shipments).
Every stock history is tracked by user and timestamp, which allows you to easily investigate any order or warehouse worker issues that might arise. Finale makes it easy to get you the data you need to take the appropriate action.

Easy Customization (because each company is different)
All companies utilize inventory management best practices, but in practice, companies work differently refining systems and processes to optimize their operations. We designed our software with this mind. We want Finale Inventory to conform to your needs, not the other way around.
We built the system to be flexible and allow customizations companies can do themselves. Most companies leverage 90% of the software straight out-of-the-box and customize 10% of the software to align with their needs.
Whether if it’s adding custom fields in your master product list, customizing your purchase or sales orders, or customizing reports for your exact needs, Final Inventory makes it easy to customize the software to your needs.
Lightning Quick Search / Filter Capability
We designed the software with speed in mind. We want you to spend time leveraging Finale to make data-driven business decisions as opposed to seeing the loading spinner and waiting for results to return. Speed is a criterion often overlooked when evaluating software, and all inventory management software will not meet your expectations especially as the master product list gets larger. Use the demo and experience yourself how fast the search functionality is.
Whether if you have a few dozen products or thousands of products, type a few letters in the search box and the software will instantly generate results. Type ‘red’ into the search box and Finale will return every product that contains the letters ‘red’ in the product id or product description. Coupled with popular filters such as category, manufacturer, location, and quantity levels, Finale allows you the ability to quickly find your products.
As more users within the company access the software, this important functionality makes it simple for someone with very little knowledge of your products to find products quickly.
Extensive Shipping Capabilities
Final Inventory has extensive packing and capabilities which goes beyond the basic operation of printing a pull sheet, picking the products and shipping the package.
- In addition to pull sheets, Finale Inventory can print out a customizable bill of laden documents for freight shipments. The bill of lading is a legally binding document providing the driver and the freight carrier all the details needed to process the freight shipment and invoice it correctly.
- Finale Inventory has the flexibility to ship orders in multiple shipments. This is helpful when you’re shipping products from multiple locations and/or need to ship a partial shipment due to a back-ordered product.
- Some companies have packing and shipping as two distinct operations. Shipments and transfers leaving from the company’s warehouse may be packed into boxes and stored on the shipping dock days prior to leaving. For companies that need to track the boxing and packing stages, Finale provides this functionality to allow companies to see the inventory status at all times.
- Finale Inventory has the ability to ship by lot IDs, and lot IDs are useful for companies who use FIFO (First In First Out) or LIFO (Last In Last Out) in their inventory flow. Companies who produce perishable products use FIFO keep their inventory fresh and ensure products on the shelf are the first to ship out.
Case Packing Functionality
The inventory control software gives users the ability to track case stock items separately from open stock. This makes a complex task of sending a case to the wholesaler and an individual unit to a retail customer a straightforward operation. With some inventory programs, this transaction is a challenging operation.
To keep management of this operation easy, simply create standard pack sizes for each product sold in multiples of units (i.e. a case of 10, 12, 100 units).
Extensive Reporting
Finale Inventory comes preloaded with 20+ common inventory, purchase, sales, and accounting reports. If you do not see a report that meets your exact requirement, Finale has a feature akin to Excel pivot tables that allow you create custom reports to match your exact need. Reports can be exported to a PDF file for distribution or to an Excel file to allow for granular data analysis.
If you work in the fireworks, hazardous waste, food, pharmaceutical, or other industry that require regulatory compliance documentation, the inventory control software can generate a comprehensive audit trail of stock changes.
