How it works

From signup to a running ERP,
in one afternoon

No consultants, no implementation projects. Here's the exact journey — and what the system quietly handles for you at every step.

The buying side
Supplier Purchase Order GRN Invoice Payment

Stock and weighted-average costs update the moment goods are received. Payables track themselves until the last rupee is paid.

The selling side
Quotation Sales Order Delivery Invoice Payment

Deliveries are stock-checked so you never oversell. Receivables and overdue flags keep customer balances honest.

Step by step

Your first day on Inventora

Six steps. Most businesses finish 1–3 before lunch.

1
Create your workspace

Sign up with your company name and email — your business gets its own secure, isolated workspace instantly. You're the Owner with full access. No credit card, no trial countdown.

~1 minuteData isolated per company
2
Set up warehouses & masters

Add your locations (even one is fine), then categories and units. Mark a default warehouse — it gets pre-selected on every new document so data entry stays fast.

3
Add items with opening stock

Create products with SKU, prices, GST rate and reorder level — and enter the stock you already hold, per warehouse, with its cost. The system posts it to the ledger as your opening balance. Barcodes and QR labels generate automatically.

4
Buy: PO → receive → pay

Raise a purchase order — prices auto-fill and totals calculate live. When goods arrive, receive them (fully or partially): a GRN posts, stock goes up, and weighted-average cost recalculates. Generate the invoice in one click and record payments as you make them.

5
Sell: quote → deliver → collect

Send a quotation (it never touches stock), convert it to a sales order in one click when approved, and deliver — the system checks availability first and blocks overselling. Invoice generates from the order; partial payments keep the balance honest.

Watch it all on the dashboard

Stock value, pending orders, low-stock alerts, receivables vs payables, sales trends — live from minute one. Seven reports answer the deeper questions, and everything exports to CSV for Excel.
