Build a Custom Inventory Management System That Fits Your Business

Your warehouse process shouldn't have to change to fit off-the-shelf software. Get an inventory system that tracks stock, orders, and vendors the way your operation actually runs, over your existing data. Put it on phones and scanners for the floor, keep it wired into your ERP, and add every user without a per-seat fee.

Get Inventory Software That Fits How Your Warehouse Actually Works

Off-the-shelf inventory software makes you work its way. The receiving flow doesn't match yours, the field you need isn't there, the mobile app costs extra, and the per-user fees climb as you add people. m-Power builds the system around your operation instead, over your own database, on the same security model as your other applications. Build it internally with m-Power, or have our consultants build it for you.

01

Matches how your warehouse runs

Build the locations, bins, units, and receiving and picking flows around your actual operation, instead of changing your process to fit the software. Change it whenever your process changes.

02

Put it on phones and scanners

Every app is web-based and responsive, so warehouse staff can receive, count, and pick from a phone or a handheld scanner.

03

Reorder before you run out

Set reorder points and let the system watch stock for you. When an item drops below its minimum, it drafts the PO and alerts purchasing.

04

One view across every location

See stock across all your sites in one place, with each location and role scoped to what it should see.

05

Wired into your ERP

An open architecture keeps the inventory system in sync with your ERP and other tools, so stock and orders don't get keyed twice.

06

Add every user, no per-seat fee

Perpetual license, no per-user fees. Put the system in the hands of everyone on the floor, in purchasing, and in the office.

m-Power owns the space on customization in terms of how well it integrates into what you're doing and how easy you make it.

Robert Reeder, CIO and VP of Technology, Henley Enterprises

I like having the freedom to quickly build and design solutions that work well for the business and can do whatever I want, even linking into other technologies or using APIs for extra functionality.

Roisin Bowen, Systems Developer, Autochair

We are really able to fine tune m-Power to match our business processes. You just can't get that from out-of-the-box software.

Sharon Hadley, Systems Analyst, Pearl Buck Center

What Can You Build?

Build over your existing database tables, on-premise or in the cloud. Whether your team builds with m-Power or our consultants build for you, here's what a custom inventory system can include:

01 · Full System Build

Watch a Full Inventory System Get Built

Watch the whole build: A custom inventory system with products, vendors, and orders, plus workflow automation and integrations, starting from nothing but data.

  • Products, vendors, and orders
  • Workflow automation built in
  • Third-party and ERP integration
02 · Products & Orders

Products, Vendors, and Orders in One Place

Manage the items, suppliers, and orders your operation runs on, with the fields and flows your business actually uses instead of a generic template.

  • Product and SKU management
  • Vendor and purchase orders
  • Sales orders and fulfillment

03 · Mobile & Scanning

Mobile Scanning and Cycle Counts

Move the work to where the stock is. Warehouse staff receive, count, and pick from a phone or handheld scanner, and stock counts update in real time.

  • Barcode scanning for receiving and picking
  • Cycle counts from the floor
  • Real-time stock updates
04 · Automation

Reorder Alerts and Automation

Let the system handle the reordering. Set minimums, and when stock drops below them, it drafts the purchase order and notifies purchasing and the vendor automatically.

  • Reorder-point alerts
  • Auto-drafted purchase orders
  • Vendor and team notifications

How is a custom m-Power inventory system different from off-the-shelf?

m-Power is the low-code development platform from mrc that builds an inventory system around your operation instead of making you fit theirs. You get the exact locations, fields, flows, and integrations you need, over your own database, with no per-seat fees. You own the application and the data.

No. m-Power is a one-time perpetual license with no per-user fees, so you can put the system in the hands of everyone on the floor, in purchasing, and in the office without the bill climbing as you add people. See the pricing page for how licensing works.

Yes. Every m-Power app is web-based and responsive, so warehouse staff can receive, count, and pick from a phone, tablet, or handheld scanner, with barcode scanning and real-time stock updates.

Yes. Set reorder points per item, and when stock drops below its minimum, the system can draft the purchase order and notify purchasing and the vendor automatically, so you reorder before you run out.

Yes. Track stock across as many locations as you run, with a company-wide rollup and row-level security so each site and role sees only what it should.

Yes. m-Power's open architecture connects the inventory system to your ERP and other tools, so stock, purchase orders, and sales orders stay in sync and the same data doesn't get keyed twice.

In your environment. The inventory system runs over your own database, on-prem or in your cloud. You own the application and keep your data in-house, rather than handing it to a SaaS vendor.

Any supported relational database, including SQL Server, Oracle, Db2, MySQL, and more, on-prem or in the cloud. If your inventory data lives in a database, m-Power can build over it.

Faster than you'd expect. The build video creates a working inventory system in about 75 minutes, and most custom systems come together in days or weeks. In a demo, we'll build a proof of concept over your own data.

Both. Your team can build with m-Power's low-code tools after a 5-day training, or our consultants can build it for you or alongside you. 96% of first-time services clients come back for another project.
