An inventory control system or a computerized inventory system is a process for managing and locating objects or materials. In common usage, the term may also refer to just the software components. Many shops now use stock control systems. The term "stock control system" can be used to include various aspects of controlling the amount of stock on the shelves and in the stockroom and how reordering happens. Typical features of stock control software include:.

• Ensuring that the products are on the shelf in shops in just the right quantity.
• Recognizing when a customer has bought a product.
• Automatically signalling when more products need to be put on the shelf from the stockroom.
• Automatically reordering stock at the appropriate time from the main warehouse.
• Automatically producing management information reports that could be used both by local managers and at head office.

Stock control systems ensure that shelves are appropriately stocked. If there is too much stock, it ties up a company's money, money that might be better spent on reducing their overdraft, on advertising the business or on paying for better facilities for customers, for example. Too much stock means that some perishable products might not sell and would have to be thrown away and this would reduce a stock control system outweigh the disadvantages.

Inventory optimization is a method of balancing capital investment constraints or objectives and service-level goals over a large assortment of stock-keeping units (SKUs) while taking demand and supply volatility into account.

It is often associated with and is similar to distribution software, as distributors that can compete with less cash tied up in inventories have a distinct advantage over their competitors.
