Industrial supply POS with cross-references and reorder points.
Fasteners, hydraulics and MRO: manufacturer and cross-reference numbers find the part, reorder points keep the bins full, and plant accounts get their own pricing.
The bin was empty before anyone noticed.
Fasteners go out a hundred at a time and nobody counts them. AxleTap watches every item against its own min and max, and turns what is short into a purchase order grouped by vendor.

Order qty = max − on hand − already on order
1Min and max are per item and per location, because branches sell differently.
2What is at or below min becomes a suggested order without anyone running a report.
3Stock already on order is subtracted, so nothing gets ordered twice.

Questions from industrial supply counters
Can I look up industrial parts by cross-reference?
Yes. Manufacturer, alternate and cross-reference numbers and UPCs all sit on the item, and any of them finds it at the counter.
How do reorder points work?
Every item carries a min and a max at each location. Anything at or below min turns up on a suggested order, grouped by vendor, with the order quantity worked out from the max less what is on hand and already on order.
Can we require PO numbers for plant accounts?
Yes. Turn on PO required for a customer and the register won't complete their ticket without one.
Can hose and chain be sold by the foot?
Yes. Items can be set to allow fractional quantities, so hose, chain and cable sell by the foot.
