# Inventory and warehouse management system in Iraq

> An inventory management system records every stock movement from receipt to issue, across multiple warehouses and branches, with barcodes, batches and expiry dates, calculates true item cost and surfaces discrepancies early. Al-Arjan builds Arabic inventory systems tied to sales and accounting for Iraqi companies.

## Who it’s for

- Trading companies and importers
- Factories and raw-material stores
- Contractors and site stores
- Hospitals and their medical stores

## Problems it solves

- System balances don’t match the shelf
- No idea which warehouse holds an item
- Imported cost wrong after freight and duties
- Items issued without documents or approval

## Modules

- **Warehouses & bins**: Warehouse, rack, bin — every item has a known location.
- **Barcode receiving**: Receipts matched to purchase orders.
- **Batches & expiry**: Batch traceability from supplier to customer.
- **Landed cost**: Allocate freight, duties and transport to items.
- **Stock counts**: Cycle counts on handhelds with documented adjustments.
- **Reorder levels**: Alerts at reorder points.

## What’s the difference between cycle and annual counts?

**An annual count stops operations and finds problems a year late. Cycle counting checks a small part of the store every week, catching gaps early without stopping sales.**

| Multiple users | Conflicting file copies | One database |
| Permissions | None | Per user and warehouse |
| Batches & expiry | Very hard | Built in |
| Change history | None | Complete |
