Learn how businesses leverage InventoryPlus Desktop and Online InventoryPlus (my.inventoryplus.in) to streamline operations across field sales, remote work, store monitoring, multi-location stock management, and customer payments:

Use Case 1: Taking Mobile Orders Offline Using Estimations

  • Scenario: A salesperson visits a customer store or client site to take orders on a smartphone or tablet.
  • Workflow:
    1. The salesperson opens Online InventoryPlus on their mobile device.
    2. Even if there is no mobile internet network in the area, the salesperson creates a new Estimation / Order Quote offline, selecting items and quantities.
    3. The order is saved locally on the mobile device with a temporary estimation marker.
    4. As soon as the mobile device connects to mobile data or Wi-Fi, the estimation automatically transfers to InventoryPlus Desktop at the main store.
    5. The store cashier opens the estimation in InventoryPlus Desktop and converts it into a final sales invoice with 1 click for packing and dispatch.

Use Case 2: Monitoring Store Business Performance While Traveling

  • Scenario: The store owner is traveling out of town or attending a trade expo and needs live updates on daily store performance.
  • Workflow:
    1. Open my.inventoryplus.in on a smartphone or laptop browser.
    2. Check the Live Sales Dashboard to monitor total daily sales revenue, customer bill counts, cash vs online payment collections, and low-stock alerts in real time as transactions occur at the store.
    3. Check the Top App Bar Status Badge to verify that your store computer running InventoryPlus Desktop is active and connected.

    2. Navigate to Inventory ➔ Add/Edit Products.
    3. Create new items or edit prices, tax rates, and barcodes.
    4. Once saved, these master updates automatically transfer down to InventoryPlus Desktop at the store as soon as the store computer opens the next morning. Cashiers can immediately bill the new products without manual data entry.

Use Case 4: Remote Purchase Entry & Vendor Expense Management

  • Scenario: The accountant or purchase manager works from home or a secondary back-office and needs to record incoming stock purchases and vendor bills.

Use Case 6: On-the-Road Customer Payment Collection & Instant Digital Receipts

  • Scenario: Field collection agents or delivery executives visit customers to collect pending bill payments.
  • Workflow:

Use Case 7: Multi-Store Live Stock Inquiry & Cross-Branch Sales

  • Scenario: A customer walks into Branch A looking for a specific item size/model that is out of stock locally.
  • Workflow:
    1. The store cashier opens Online InventoryPlus on their computer or mobile phone and searches the item.
    2. The cashier views live stock availability across Branch B, Branch C, and the Central Warehouse.

Use Case 10: Van Sales, Direct Mobile Delivery & Field Stock Reconciliation

  • Scenario: Wholesale distributors or mobile sales vans delivering products directly to retail shops from a delivery truck.
