A single view across every location. The core requirement is being able to see stock at every site from one dashboard, rather than checking each warehouse separately or calling around to confirm numbers.

Accurate stock transfers between sites. When inventory moves from one warehouse to another, that transfer needs to be recorded properly on both ends — otherwise you end up with numbers that don’t match reality at either location.

Location-specific reordering. Demand doesn’t look the same at every site, so reorder points and stock levels should be set per warehouse, not applied as one blanket rule across the whole business.

Clear ownership of stock discrepancies. When numbers don’t add up, it should be obvious which location and which transfer to check first, rather than starting a hunt across every site.

Reporting that breaks down by warehouse. Turnover, slow-moving stock, and performance all look different location to location, and reporting needs to reflect that rather than lumping everything into one average.
