Inventory that speaks
your units at every stage

When units are clear, mistakes drop, cycle counts shrink,
and profit improves.

Buy in one unit, stock in another, sell in a third. We convert it for you so counts stay right and orders move fast.

The problem we fix

Mismatches

“Case vs. each” mismatches: wrong picks, short trucks, odd credits.

Counts

Book vs. shelf gaps: cycle counts balloon and month‑end turns manual.

Duplicates

Duplicate SKUs for the same item in different packs: confusion and double counting.

Slow math

Slower ops: people doing math at the dock, on the picker screen, and on the route sheet.

Multi-UOM tracking is the proven fix. It sets a base unit, links related units with conversions, and lets you choose the default unit for buying, stocking, picking, and selling.

Multi UOM flow

The bMobile way: UOM that runs through the whole flow

Plain promise: bMobile converts Units of Measure automatically at every step

Presale
Presale

A rep enters Case 24 for soda. If another rep adds 10 each, we keep both lines correct.

Purchase planning
Purchase planning

Presale becomes a forecasted purchase. We switch to the vendor unit to match their PO pack.

Receiving
Receiving

When goods arrive, quantities land in the stock UOM you chose. If you stock by pack 6, we put it on the shelf as packs.

Pick Planner
Pick Planner

All demand is converted into the pick unit and totaled. The picker sees clean picks with no math.

Pack Planner
Pack Planner

We switch again into the pack UOM that matches cartons or route totes, so packing is clean.

Delivery

Drivers see the right unit on the manifest. No last‑minute math.

Where it goes wrong in real life

Item: Sparkling Tea 500 ml

  • Reality in the field:
  • Sales rep enters 3 Packs of 6 for Store A
  • Another rep enters 10 Each for Store B
  • Warehouse reads the first line as 3 Each by mistake
  • Pick list prints mixed units and no one notices
  • Truck leaves short by 14 bottles
  • Store A complains, Store B gets an odd credit
  • Month end shows 2 cases on hand but the floor has only 1 case and 10 loose

What failed

The system didn’t convert order quantities into the correct Units of Measure, so “Pack” and “Each” were treated as different items. The pick list wasn’t unit‑aware, so the team picked the wrong amount.

The same situation made right with bMobile

Driver using bMobile
Setup for the item:
  • Purchase UOM: Case 24
  • Stock UOM: Case
  • Sell UOM: Each and Pack 6
  • Conversions: 1 Case = 24 Each; 1 Pack = 6 Each
Same Demand

Presale: 3 Packs and 10 Each

What bMobile does
  • Presale totals are converted to Each for math. 3 Packs = 18 Each, plus 10 Each = 28 Each.
  • Pick Planner groups lines. Shows 1 Case (24) plus 4 loose for a single clean pull.
  • Package Planner builds one carton and one small box. Drivers see the same units on the route sheet.
  • Purchase plan looks at reorder points in cases and recommends 1 Case on the PO if needed.
Result:

The right product leaves the dock, the shelf count matches the book count, and there’s no credit call later.
