Transform your business with Khaos Control
Synchronise data across your business
For multichannel retailers, the ability to sync data across multiple platforms is vital. This is especially the case when it comes to managing inventory. Our inventory software helps to centralise your customers’ actions in real time, allowing you to handle your sales from a single location. The real-time aspect of our inventory management system ensures that decisions can be made quickly and that information passed along is accurate for all staff members and customers.
Make confident decisions with real-time numbers and profit analysis
With fully integrated ICAEW-accredited accounting functionality, you’ll have live financial reporting at your fingertips. Delve into the analytics behind your inventory through our simple-to-use reporting functions that help you identify slow-moving products and reduce the risk of holding obsolete inventory.
Using integrated inventory management reports, monitoring your outgoings, expenses, and stock data becomes simple. Quickly create sets of reports to display information on your orders, purchases, and promotions for individual items. For everyday stock control, you can monitor which products your picking and packing team have processed and what stages different orders are at.
Get total visibility and control across all your warehouse locations
Whether you store items at a single warehouse location or across multiple warehouses, our inventory management system gives you a centralised overview of your entire warehousing operation.
Using handheld terminals and barcode scanning, you can make quick work of booking in stock, batch picking, and item checks. That also means all background inventory data processing and generation of the necessary paperwork is done for you, keeping inventory levels up to date and warehouses operating smoothly.

Different types of inventory management
Using spreadsheets to track inventory levels is not only inexpensive but also familiar. With most businesses comfortable using Excel, tracking product SKUs such as barcode, location, and value can be a simple task for smaller organisations. In addition to formulas and calculations, Excel offers the option to split up your spreadsheets into different tabs.
With hundreds of templates available to help companies get started, working with spreadsheets is a good option for those with a small product range. Nevertheless, that’s not to say workarounds such as Excel don’t have limitations.
As the name suggests, cloud-based inventory management software manages your business from any device with internet access. This means staying on top of your logistics from the office, at home, out on the road, or in-store.
Cloud or browser-based systems typically adopt a “pay as you go” approach. This removes the three major barriers companies face when introducing stock control software to their operations: affordability, IT infrastructure, and low-impact implementation.
Server-based inventory management is built to handle significantly larger and complex operations. Unlike cloud-based systems, where you’re reliant on your vendor to perform your backend services, server-based systems provide more visibility into what’s going on behind the scenes.
This level of infrastructure is suited for wholesalers or businesses with larger quantities of stock. It’s also suitable for organisations with diverse product ranges and various attributes linked to their items. Pharmaceutical companies, for example, would need to be vigilant with ingredients, expiry dates, and suppliers.
Warehouse management is designed to optimise your supply chain and fulfilment processes. For retailers operating across multiple sites, a dedicated system allows you to control multiple inventory lines from one source. This is also a perfect tool for fulfilment warehouses and 3PL providers looking to handle their clients’ orders.
Warehouse inventory management will equip teams with HHTs, barcode scanning, and the ability to track pallets individually. Likewise, the system will automatically assign jobs to staff and provide insight into which orders are assigned to which teams.

“Khaos Control has automated – and brought accuracy to – large areas of our stock management and customer order processing. We operate across 2 warehouses as well as drop-shipping and with some customisation the platform has it all covered. The implementation required an investment in time at a point where our order numbers were rising steeply. But with Khaos Control we are able to deal with these increased order quantities more efficiently and we feel prepared to handle further growth.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Inventory management is the process of monitoring, organising, and controlling a business’s stock levels, including raw materials, components, and finished goods, to ensure the right products are available when needed. It plays a critical role in balancing supply and demand, reducing excess inventory, preventing stockouts, and improving cash flow.
Effective inventory management involves tracking stock movement in real time, forecasting demand, and automating key tasks like reordering and stock updates. Businesses use inventory management systems to gain visibility across warehouses, sales channels, and suppliers, helping them make informed decisions and respond quickly to changes in demand. Whether you’re a retailer, wholesaler, or manufacturer, good inventory management is essential for operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
At its core, inventory management software helps by integrating your business’s selling outlets while syncing orders, returns, customer information, and accounts back to your back office.
Using advanced technology and automation, our system allows retailers of all sizes to manage, organise and track their purchases and product sales and automate manual tasks.
Whether a business operates online or in-store, uses drop-shipping, or operates across multiple locations, an inventory system should manage it all from one central source. That means the ability to see, at a granular level, everything that is happening with your orders, from how much stock is in your inventory, to what’s on back-order, and what’s being held up in the warehouse.
With the right system in place, you should also know the profitability of every item in your inventory, your most successful (and unsuccessful) promotions, and the performance of different suppliers. By giving your team the tools to work efficiently, you’re equipping your business with the data to make important strategic decisions.
It’s common for small businesses to assume that inventory management is an expensive investment.
Traditionally, these types of services needed to be purchased outright, hosted on-site, and run by a set of developers. The costs involved in the upfront payment and ongoing upkeep often meant smaller businesses could not afford to invest. Fortunately, the growth of these solutions and ERP in general over the last century has fuelled the demand for more accessible products.
Cloud-based inventory management software is perfect for SME’s (small to medium enterprises) looking for a more affordable and easy-to-implement solution. Instead of a one-off purchase cost, cloud-based platforms often employ affordable monthly subscriptions based on users.
For SME’s, it’s also worth remembering that implementing a cloud-based system won’t take nearly half the time that a larger-scale operation would. Within six weeks, businesses can have their entire operation running better than it ever did before. Find out more about our inventory management pricing here.
From the moment an order arrives on-site to the moment it leaves, our system will ensure every item is tracked, allocated, and delivered to the right place at the right time – be that within your warehouse, or with your courier. This is particularly useful for those using drop-shipping who will never be in physical contact with any stock. Our shipping management features offer customers access to branded slips and invoices, shipping labels, unique courier rules and more.
Khaos Control is proud to offer integrations with many leading shipping couriers, but should you need an integration we don’t currently offer, our open API can align with your specific shipping requirements.
Whether it’s finances, sales, customers or suppliers, small business owners already have a lot to stay on top of. The simple fact is, if you’re handling stock in your business, you should be making the most of free or start-up stock control tools.
Advances in inventory and stock control technology mean there are a number of different tools catered specifically for smaller businesses, all for a reasonable cost. Even if you’re not selling in large quantities, it’s important to track and monitor your inventory flow. As your business grows, so do the levels and scale of your inventory demands. Implementing the right tool means your business can scale gracefully, without the hassle of data migrations or training staff on new systems.
To make small changes to your current processes (with or without a system in place) we suggest checking out our inventory management tips for small businesses.
Whether you’re operating a single store, several retail outlets or multiple distribution centres, our software allows you to control each of your sites virtually, fulfilling orders and moving stock back and forth, all from one central location.
Out of stock of a product at one of your sites? The immediate visibility of stock levels means you can quickly fulfil orders with stock held at your other sites. This offers a new level of flexibility when it comes to sales order fulfilment and ensures your customers stay happy, even in a stock emergency.
Just as a normal site would operate, you can use ‘virtual sites’ to separate stock for specific marketplaces, customer groups or trade shows.
The nature of living in such a connected world means it’s easier than ever for SME’s to expand their operations globally. Likewise, most wholesalers rely solely on buying and selling stock overseas, making a suitable inventory management system a critical part of their operation.
Khaos Control allows businesses to expand their inventory operations with ease, providing users with tried and tested international selling features. From automatically generated currency conversion rates to country-specific VAT and EC sales reporting, our international inventory features keep overseas operations streamlined and accessible.
Additionally, the support of our partnership with Global-e makes easy work of connecting your business with foreign customers around the world.
