Find stock below your own minimums
Certant compares each site's stock export with the minimums and maximums in your approved tables, and shows which report every figure came from.
Reported 180 boxes. Approved minimum 250.
Old counts look like current stock
The minimum for each item is written in a policy or a planning table. The counts arrive as exports from each site on different days, and somebody compares the two by hand when there's time.
A site that hasn't sent this week's export still shows last week's figure, and last week's figure looks fine.
What Certant reads
Each count is matched to its limit by site and item code.
| Document | What it supplies |
|---|---|
| Stock exports | Site, item code, quantity on hand and the date of the report. |
| Approved limits | The minimum and maximum for each item at each site, from your stock policy or planning tables. |
| Delivery records | The date of the latest recorded delivery for each item. |
Check each row against its limit
Each row shows the reported count beside the approved limit, and both open at their source.
| Site | Item | Reported stock | Approved minimum | Last report | Verdict |

Notifications wait for approval
When a row falls below its minimum, Certant drafts a notification for the person responsible for that site, with the row, the limit and both sources attached. An inventory controller approves it before it goes.

What setup involves
Setup starts with the tables you already approve stock against. We map your item codes and site names, agree how often each site reports, and run the check on a recent set of exports.
| Area | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Limits | Read from your approved tables. When the table changes, the check follows it. |
| Missing reports | A site with no export in the agreed period is reported as missing. |
| Quantities | Certant reports the position. It doesn't forecast demand, calculate reorder quantities or move stock between sites. |
