Simple Inventory Management with Momentech

Inventory management can be a challenge for many businesses. Traditional methods involving manual lists, Excel spreadsheets, and paper-based systems are time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to keep up to date. With Momentech, you can simplify the entire process and gain full control over your inventory in a simple and efficient way.

Why simple inventory management matters

Good inventory management is the foundation of a successful manufacturing business. Without an overview of what is actually in stock, you may face several challenges:

• Order handling errors: You may promise delivery of items that are not available
• Overstock: You hold too much of certain items, tying up capital
• Understock: You run out of critical items, halting production
• Time-consuming counting: Manual counting takes a long time and is error-prone
• Lack of traceability: Difficult to track where items are and when they were registered

With Momentech, you solve these challenges through a modern, digital solution designed specifically for manufacturing businesses.

Barcode scanning – the foundation of simple inventory management

Barcode scanning is at the heart of Momentech's solution. Instead of manually entering item numbers or searching through long lists, you simply hold your phone over the barcode.

How it works

1. Open the app: Launch the Momentech app on your phone
2. Scan the barcode: Hold your phone over the barcode on the item
3. Automatic registration: The app recognizes the item immediately
4. Add to inventory or order: Choose whether the item should be added to inventory or linked to an order

This takes seconds instead of minutes, and you eliminate typos and incorrect registrations.

Real-time inventory overview

One of the biggest advantages of Momentech is that you always have an up-to-date overview of your inventory. When you scan an item and add it to inventory, the stock level is updated immediately.

Get an overview when you need it

• See stock levels instantly: Check how many units you have of an item directly in the app
• No manual counting: The system automatically keeps track based on your scans
• History: See when items were registered and how inventory has changed over time

This means you can make informed decisions about orders, production, and sales based on actual numbers, not estimates or outdated lists.

Easy order handling

Momentech makes it easy to link items to orders. When you scan an item, you can immediately choose whether to add it to an existing order or a new order.

Streamlined workflow

1. Scan item: Hold your phone over the barcode
2. Select order: Choose an existing order or create a new one
3. Done: The item is now linked to the order

This makes it easy to follow up on orders from start to finish, and you always have an overview of which items are linked to which orders.

Cost registration

To have full control over inventory value, you can register the cost of items in Momentech. This makes it easy to:

• Calculate inventory value: See the total value of your inventory
• Track costs: Keep track of purchase costs for different items
• Prepare accounting: Export data to accounting software

When you register the cost of an item, this information is stored with the item so you always have access to it when you need it.

PDF export for accounting

One of the most valuable features in Momentech is the ability to export data directly to PDF format that can be imported into accounting software.

Streamlined accounting work

• Automatic generation: Generate PDF documents with one click
• Accounting compatible: The format is designed for direct import into accounting software
• Time savings: Avoid manual transfer of data from inventory to accounting

This means you can spend less time on accounting work and more time on what actually creates value for your business.
