Total Recall (an inventory system story)

Memory is an wonderfully interesting thing. Humans have the ability to remember countless details. Some things like habits become so ingrained into our memories that we can perform these tasks without consciously thinking about them. Remember how hard you had to concentrate when you were first learning to drive? Now think about your morning commute. You performed numerous complex actions on your way all while thinking about a myriad of other things. That’s because driving is a habitual part of your day at this point. You are able to drive without having to focus on each and every step in the process (for more on memory and habit read "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg). That's why we built our inventory system to be easy to use and memorable. Simple, easy functions that make committing them to memory a breeze.

Unfortunately, recalling every detail that we need to function on a daily basis isn’t so automatic and easy. More than likely you’ve already had at least four things slip your mind before lunch on any given day. Between all the things that we have going on and all the demands on our time and attention it’s hard to keep track of everything. That’s why it’s important to have processes in place to help keep you on track. Calendars, To Do lists and e-mail reminders are all helpful tools. They can remind you of appointments that need to be kept and errands that need to be run. None of those however, keep track of that crucial part of your business - your inventory.

Stockpile is the tool you need to track your inventory. Simply enter your data into Stockpile and you’ll easily be able to access inventory information whenever you need it. Wouldn’t it be nice to have total recall when it came to knowing what inventory you have where? Our inventory system can help! With Stockpile you have that ability. You can run reports based on location or vendor and quickly get a clear picture of your inventory. So let Stockpile keep track of your inventory and you use your memory to keep track of other things.
