What does building a Stock Control app include?

Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.

Discovery & Architecture

Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.

UI/UX Design

Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.

Development & QA

Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.

Launch & Support

User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.

Key features of your Stock Control app

Safety Stock Calculation

Define safety stock levels per SKU based on demand variability and lead times, and the app monitors actual stock against these thresholds to prevent unexpected shortages.

ABC Classification Engine

Automatically classify inventory into A, B, and C tiers based on value and turnover rate, so your team focuses control efforts on the items that matter most to the business.

Dead Stock Identification

Flag items with zero or near-zero movement over a configurable period, helping purchasing managers reduce write-offs by identifying dead stock before it accumulates.

Stock Variance Reporting

Compare expected stock levels against physical counts and highlight variances by location, category, or time period to identify shrinkage patterns and process gaps.

Frequently asked questions about Stock Control apps

How does stock control differ from stock management?+
Stock control focuses on the policies and rules that govern how much stock to hold and when to reorder — think safety stock, ABC analysis, and dead stock identification. Stock management is the broader operational process of receiving, storing, and moving inventory.
Can the app suggest optimal reorder quantities?+
Yes. Based on historical consumption data, lead times, and your target service level, the app calculates economic order quantities and presents them as suggestions during the reorder process.
How does ABC classification work in the app?+
The app ranks all SKUs by annual consumption value and automatically assigns A (top 20% of value), B (next 30%), and C (bottom 50%) classifications. Each tier gets different review frequencies and stocking policies.
Can we set different control rules for different product categories?+
Absolutely. We configure category-specific rules — perishable goods get expiration-based controls, high-value items get tighter safety stock, and seasonal products get demand-adjusted thresholds.
Does the app integrate with accounting software for inventory valuation?+
Yes. Glide connects via API to QuickBooks, Xero, and other accounting platforms. We build the integration so inventory value changes flow into your general ledger automatically using your preferred costing method.

We were always impressed with the way they deliver on our vision.
