A Catalogue Is Not a Text Field
A free-text field with validation is not a smaller version of a coded one. Where a jurisdiction wants a value from a published list, the field either holds it or your document is not the document.

Our ABC report bands the catalogue on cumulative consumption value, which is the correct definition and not the common one. Our counting module can hold a class against a plan. Nothing carries the first into the second, so at catalogue scale the classification is never refreshed.
AWRA Blog
Most stock counts produce a new number and throw away the evidence of how the old one went wrong. Blind, valued, placed and dated — miss any one and you get a correction instead of a reason.
AWRA Blog
Every quantity column in our stock schema is an integer, and there is no unit of measure anywhere in the product. For a business that counts cartons that is invisible and correct. For one that buys maize by the tonne and sells it by the bag, it is the difference between a stock figure and a guess.

Serial-number tracking for stock has a table, a model, three screens, two routes and a count on the dashboard. It has no code path that can create a row. The screens work perfectly and will always be empty — and the test that would have found it takes ninety seconds.

An asset is tracked as one identified record or as a quantity in buckets, and the choice is free until the first unit moves. The bucket turns out to be a six-part key, which is why a pool of four hundred can become eleven rows nobody asked for.

Not every item deserves equal attention. Rank stock by the value it ties up, guard the vital few, and stop wasting control on the trivial many.

Aggregating cocoa, sesame, cashew or grain means buying from hundreds of smallholders in cash, in the field, on weight and grade — then proving every kilogram to a buyer or a lender. The records that make that provable and financeable.

A register tells you a certificate expired last month. A control stops the order. Almost every organisation has the first and believes it has the second.

eTIMS on every receipt, shrinkage visibility, multi-branch control, and a straight answer on what happens when the line drops — what to demand from a retail system, with an evaluation checklist.

The gap between recording stock and being told what to buy, when, and from whom is the difference between digital and intelligent. What smart inventory and intelligent procurement mean in 2026 — and how to choose a system that delivers both for a Kenyan operation.

A stockout is a clinical event and expired stock is money in the disposal drum — batch tracking, FEFO, consumables par levels, and the weekly hour that runs it all.

Reorder points from consumption, shelf-life terms in writing, supplier performance tracked — the upstream half of facility stock control.

Cocoa runs on one of the most structured supply chains in African agriculture — and everything around it does not. What operational records both ends of that spectrum need, and where a general operations system honestly stops.

The annual count finds a year of errors at once and explains none of them — how cycle counting works, ABC scheduling, blind counts, and replacing the shutdown weekend.

The long chain — landed costs at the port, regional depots, in-transit as a location, van routes, and agent consignment — with the leak at every link named.

How much to order at once — the EOQ equation, the two costs it balances, a worked example, and the tidy assumptions that make it lie in the real world.

A vendor-honest guide to choosing operations software in Ethiopia — what an ERP must do for an Addis-and-regions business, how forex and multi-currency reorder the checklist, what to budget, and the straight answer on VAT and e-invoicing.

Advancing seed and fertiliser on credit grows farmers — and quietly loses money when it is tracked as neither stock nor debt. How to run check-off without the leak.

FIFO issues the oldest stock first; FEFO issues whatever expires soonest — they sound interchangeable and are not. Where FIFO quietly fails, and what FEFO requires.

The return trip costs more than the margin on the original job. Why two of the five causes are intake failures, treating each van as a counted stock location, and the parts you fit but never bill.

A caesarean consumes roughly the same forty items every time. With no bill of materials, you either record thirty-eight lines per case or lose component stock — and the stockout is found in theatre.
AWRA Blog
A shocking share of Kenyan produce is lost between farm and buyer, invisible because nobody measures where. Turning loss into a number at each step protects the margin.

Clinics, hospitals and health programs share a hard inventory problem: medicines that expire, cold chains that cannot break, equipment that must work, consumables that vanish. The disciplines that keep a health facility supplied, safe and accountable.
