Also serving Palghat
Palakkad stores everything from paddy and rubber compound to other people's FMCG pallets; inventory software has to cope with lots, shelf life and several owners at once.

The district is a storage point by geography. Goods entering Kerala by road pass Walayar, and a good share of them rest in Palakkad warehouses before moving on. Beside them stand mill godowns stacked with paddy bought in one season to be milled through the year, and factory stores in Kanjikode holding steel, chemicals, packing material and spares. Each has a different idea of what stock means.
ERPNext's inventory and warehouse module handles all three. It gives real-time stock by warehouse and bin, batch and serial tracking, expiry dates, multiple units of measure, reorder levels, stock ageing, cycle counts and valuation by FIFO or moving average. Barcode and handheld scanning are supported, and RFID can be added where volume justifies it. For a Palghat operator the point is to know what is where, whose it is and how old, without walking the floor.
A mill knows a godown is full but not which lots, varieties and purchase rates are inside. Milling then picks whatever is nearest. Lot-wise stock with variety, moisture at purchase and age lets the mill plan what to mill next and value the remaining stock correctly.
Rubber compounds, adhesives and some chemicals lose properties with time. Without batch dates, old material is found when a part fails. Batch tracking with expiry and first-expired-first-out picking warns the stores in advance and blocks issue of lapsed batches.
A third-party warehouse must keep each customer's stock distinct, bill storage and handling accurately and answer audits. Customer-wise warehouses or bins, inward and outward records tied to documents, and stock statements on demand remove the monthly reconciliation quarrel.
Logistics and warehousing
Bin-level locations, put-away and pick lists on handhelds, customer-wise stock statements, storage and handling charges calculated from actual occupancy and movements, and cycle counting without stopping operations.
Rice milling and agro-processing
Godown and stack-wise paddy lots, conversion of paddy to rice and by-products, bag and weight units together, gunny bag accounting, and ageing reports that prompt sale before quality falls.
Automobile components and rubber goods
Batch-tracked compounds and raw materials with shelf life, bin cards replaced by scans, customer-supplied material kept separate, and finished parts traceable back to the batch that made them.
We set up inventory systems on the floor, not in a conference room. Someone from Kochi spends time in your Palakkad stores to agree the warehouse and bin structure, item codes and units with the storekeepers who will live with them. Opening stock is counted and loaded together. Scanners are tried at the actual racks. Remote support then covers the daily questions, with visits for stock audits if you want them.

Yes. ERPNext supports multiple units of measure with conversion factors, so rice can be purchased by weight, stocked by bag and sold in either. Where bag weights vary, as with paddy, stock is kept by weight and bags are tracked as a secondary count for handling and gunny accounting.
No. Many stores begin with screen entry and add barcodes once item codes are stable. Barcoding pays back quickly where there are many similar items, such as spares and components. We help you choose printers and scanners when the time comes, and the system does not need changing.
Through a formal stock reconciliation. Counted quantities are entered, the system shows differences by item and value, and an authorised person approves the adjustment, which posts to accounts. Frequent small cycle counts are better than one annual shock, and the software schedules them by item importance.
