What it is
A manufacturing inventory app is a web-based database that tracks materials through every stage — raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods — with bill-of-materials links, lot numbers and reorder points so production never stalls for a missing part.
What your manufacturing inventory management tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for manufacturing.
Item / part number
The unique code for each raw material, component, or finished SKU.
Inventory stage
Raw material, WIP, or finished good — so you see stock at each production phase.
Bill of materials (BOM) link
Which components a finished item consumes, so you know if you can build to order.
Quantity on hand
Current units of the part or material available to consume or ship.
Unit of measure
How it is counted (each, kg, meters, liters) so BOM math and counts stay consistent.
Safety stock
The buffer held on critical materials to absorb supplier or demand variability.
Reorder point / lead time
The level that triggers purchasing plus how long resupply takes, to avoid line stoppages.
Lot / batch number
Traceability grouping for quality holds and recalls up and down the BOM.
Supplier / vendor
The source of each purchased part, kept with lead time for planning.
What good looks like for manufacturing
One app, a view for everyone
Production manager
Whether components are in stock to build a job, and WIP levels.
Purchasing
The reorder-point and lead-time list, to buy materials before shortages hit.
Floor operator
Recording material consumed and finished units produced against a job.
Buy a tool, or own one built for you
Off-the-shelf software makes you fit its mold. With Kleap you describe the inventory management you actually want and own it outright.
A typical inventory management
- Monthly per-seat fees that grow with your team
- Your data lives on their servers, in their format
- Fixed features — you adapt to the tool, not the reverse
- Generic, not shaped around manufacturing
Built with Kleap
- Free to start — no per-seat pricing
- You own the app and its database, data stays yours
- Change anything by chatting — fields, views, workflow
- Shaped around how manufacturing actually works

Frequently asked questions
Can it tell me if I have enough parts to build an order?+
Yes — link each finished item to its bill of materials, and you can compare required components against quantity on hand to see if a build is possible. The app does the lookup; you decide what to schedule.
How do I track raw materials, WIP, and finished goods separately?+
Each item carries an inventory-stage field, so raw stock, work-in-progress, and finished goods are distinct records you can filter and value separately. That gives you a clear picture of where inventory is tied up.
Does it support lot traceability for recalls or quality holds?+
Yes — record lot/batch numbers on materials and finished goods, then search a lot to trace it through the BOM to affected products. Entry is manual, but the traceability is complete.
Does it integrate with my ERP or MRP system?+
No — it is a self-contained web database with no ERP, MRP, or machine integrations. You enter receipts, consumption, and production through forms and use its reorder and BOM views to plan. It suits shops that want structured tracking without heavy ERP overhead.
