Inventory management from WhatsApp

Inventory is where small businesses' profits quietly disappear: an item runs out and sales stop, a slow mover ties up capital, and the year-end count never matches the books. The cause is usually the same: recording movements is a chore, so the team postpones it, then forgets it.

Fahim makes recording a stock movement as easy as sending a WhatsApp message — and that changes everything, because the only register that stays accurate is the one that is easy to update.

Stock movements by message

• "We received 50 cartons of orange juice from supplier X" — the receipt is recorded and the balance updated.
• "Issue 10 units of item Y to the Olaya branch" — transfers between branches or locations, recorded.
• "What's the balance of item Z?" — the current figure, instantly.
• Send a photo of the supplier's invoice or an Excel sheet of items — it reads and enters them automatically instead of manual keying.

Alerts before the problem, not after

Fahim's personal assistant watches your balances and speaks up on its own: an item dropped below its reorder point, or a slow mover has not budged in a while. The message reaches you on WhatsApp before a customer calls asking for something that ran out.

Inventory tied to invoicing and accounting

Because inventory here is part of a full ERP rather than a standalone counting app: every sales invoice decreases stock automatically, every purchase invoice increases it, and cost and movement reports come from the same data — no double entry, no discrepancies between the sales file and the warehouse file.

And every employee has their limits

The warehouse supervisor records movements and checks balances, but sees no profit margins and no accounting data. Permissions, like everything else in Fahim, are adjusted by a WhatsApp request.
