Inventory Management Software with Accounting | HelloBooks Items, variants, BOM, stock ledger, valuation, reorder points, vendor scorecards — all wired into your books. Multi-warehouse, GST-aware, with AI demand forecasting.
HelloBooks Inventory is inventory management software wired directly into the same general ledger that runs your invoices, bills and GST. Items, variants, units of measure, bill of materials, stock adjustments, transfers and movements all post in real time to inventory valuation and the right GL account — there is no nightly export, no integration glue, and no reconciliation lag between an inventory module and the books. For accounting firms migrating clients from Zoho Inventory, Sortly, inFlow or QuickBooks Online, the entire stock ledger arrives in one place rather than two.
For Indian businesses, inventory carries first-class GST awareness: HSN/SAC at item level, GSTR-1 + GSTR-2B reconciliation on stock movements, e-way bills on transfers, and multi-GSTIN per entity so inter-state stock movements treat IGST automatically. AI demand forecasting and the Forecasting report use 12-month sales history to surface reorder points, low-stock alerts and stale-stock provisions before they hit the P&L. The Cleanup Dashboard catches missing HSN codes, broken UOM conversions and stuck stock adjustments at the source.
What makes HelloBooks Inventory different from standalone inventory tools is the depth on every adjacent surface: vendors with full scorecards, purchase requests and purchase orders, BOMs that roll into Manufacturing work orders, bin-level stock that feeds Warehouse picking, and accounting integration that means every receipt, adjustment, transfer and stocktake variance ends up on the trial balance correctly the first time. Insights, Stock Ledger, Inventory Valuation, Movement Log, Reorder Planning and Profitability Analysis ship in the same dashboard.
