Inventory Management

    Know exactly what's in stock — across every location

    JusticeSure's inventory management is built for Nigerian retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers. Track stock in real time, prevent stockouts, and connect every sale to your inventory automatically.

    Why Nigerian businesses lose money on inventory

    From Alaba market electronics traders to Lagos supermarkets, poor inventory tracking is the silent profit killer for Nigerian SMEs.

    📦

    Ghost stock

    Items recorded as available that aren't physically there — common when sales aren't tracked properly.

    🚫

    Stockouts

    Running out of fast-moving goods, especially imported items with 4–8 week lead times from China or Dubai.

    💸

    Overstock write-offs

    Tying up cash in slow-moving items while fast movers sit out of stock — a cash flow disaster.

    📋

    Manual spreadsheets

    Excel files that get corrupted, don't sync between staff, and create costly counting errors at month-end.

    What JusticeSure inventory gives you

    Real-time stock tracking

    Every sale, restock, and inter-branch transfer updates your stock count instantly — no manual reconciliation.

    Multi-location management

    Track stock separately at each branch, warehouse, or market stall — and see the consolidated total in one view.

    Low-stock alerts

    Set reorder points per product and per location. Get notified before you run out, not after a customer complains.

    POS + invoice sync

    Sell through the POS or via invoice — inventory deducts automatically. No double-entry, no discrepancies.

    Stock movement history

    See the full history of every product: when it was restocked, sold, transferred, written off, or counted.

    Product variants

    Manage sizes, colours, weights, and packaging variants with separate stock counts and prices per variant.

    Built for how Nigerian businesses actually stock up

    Whether you buy from Alaba market, import from China via Apapa port, or source locally from wholesalers in Onitsha — JusticeSure handles your procurement and costing.

    1

    Create a purchase order

    Generate a formal PO to send to your supplier — local wholesaler or international. Specify product, quantity, unit cost, and expected delivery date.

    2

    Record landed costs

    Add import duties, shipping, clearing fees, and any other costs to get the true landed cost per unit. This flows into your COGS and gross margin automatically.

    3

    Confirm goods received

    When stock arrives, confirm the received quantities. Inventory increases immediately. Discrepancies between ordered and received are flagged for follow-up.

    4

    Sell and watch stock update

    Every POS sale or invoice immediately deducts from inventory. You see your current stock position in real time — no counting required.

    5

    Get alerted when stock is low

    When any product or variant falls below your reorder point, JusticeSure alerts you so you can order before you run out.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common inventory questions from Nigerian business owners

    JusticeSure supports FIFO (First In, First Out) and AVCO (Average Cost) stock valuation methods. Both are acceptable under Nigerian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and IFRS as adopted by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN). Your choice of valuation method affects your cost of goods sold (COGS) and gross profit figures, which flow into your financial statements and tax calculations.

    When restocking imported goods, you can record the landed cost — the total cost including the purchase price, shipping, customs duty, and clearing fees — as the unit cost of inventory. This ensures your cost of goods sold and gross margin calculations reflect the true cost of imported stock rather than just the supplier's ex-factory price. Accurate landed cost recording is also important for CIT (Companies Income Tax) purposes under the Nigerian Revenue Service rules.

    What is inventory management software and why do Nigerian businesses need it?

    Inventory management software tracks how much stock you have, where it is, and how fast it moves. For Nigerian businesses — from supermarkets in Lagos to spare-parts dealers in Aba — poor inventory control leads to stockouts, overstocking, and ghost stock (items on paper that don't exist physically). JusticeSure's inventory module connects directly to your POS, invoicing, and purchase orders so every sale and restock updates your stock count automatically, giving you a real-time picture of your stock position at all times.

    Can I manage inventory across multiple store locations in Nigeria?

    Yes. JusticeSure supports multi-location inventory, meaning you can track stock at each branch separately while also seeing aggregate totals across all locations. If your Lagos Island store runs low on a product while your Ikeja branch has excess, you can initiate an inter-branch transfer directly in the platform. Each location has its own stock count, low-stock alerts, and sales reports.

    How do low-stock alerts work for Nigerian retailers?

    You set a minimum stock level (reorder point) for each product. When your stock drops to or below that level, JusticeSure sends you an alert via the dashboard and, optionally, by email. This prevents the common Nigerian retail problem of selling out of fast-moving goods — especially imported items with long lead times or goods that move quickly at market days. You can also set different reorder points per location.

    Does inventory automatically update when I make a sale on the POS?

    Yes. Every sale made through JusticeSure's POS (whether cash, card, bank transfer, or Kontrol payment link) immediately deducts from your inventory count. Similarly, when you issue an invoice and mark it as paid, inventory reduces accordingly. There is no manual reconciliation required — your stock count reflects reality in real time, which is critical for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) businesses and retail shops.

    Can I create purchase orders to restock from Nigerian suppliers?

    Yes. JusticeSure lets you create purchase orders (POs) addressed to your local or international suppliers. When you receive the goods and confirm the delivery, your inventory automatically increases by the received quantity. This gives you a complete record of every procurement — useful for VAT input claims on business purchases, audits by the Nigerian Revenue Service (NRS), and supplier dispute resolution.

    Can I manage products with variants like sizes and colours?

    Yes. JusticeSure fully supports product variants — size, colour, weight, packaging type, or any custom attribute you define. Each variant has its own stock count, price, and barcode. For example, a clothing retailer can track small, medium, large, and XL separately; a pharmaceutical distributor can manage different pack sizes of the same drug. Variants also work across multiple locations.

    What stock valuation methods does JusticeSure support?

    JusticeSure supports FIFO (First In, First Out) and AVCO (Average Cost) stock valuation methods. Both are acceptable under Nigerian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and IFRS as adopted by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN). Your choice of valuation method affects your cost of goods sold (COGS) and gross profit figures, which flow into your financial statements and tax calculations.

    How do I record import duties and customs costs in my inventory?

    When restocking imported goods, you can record the landed cost — the total cost including the purchase price, shipping, customs duty, and clearing fees — as the unit cost of inventory. This ensures your cost of goods sold and gross margin calculations reflect the true cost of imported stock rather than just the supplier's ex-factory price. Accurate landed cost recording is also important for CIT (Companies Income Tax) purposes under the Nigerian Revenue Service rules.
