See a manufacturing workflow
Follow materials through the production workflow
Receive and identify incoming stock
Scan a material or component label and record the received quantity. Include the storage location, supplier, or batch information your team needs to identify the stock later.
Record movement between locations or jobs
Use shared forms and inventory transfers to record materials moving between stores, production areas, and other teams. For prepared component lists, review the bulk-transfer workflow and confirm the item identifiers and quantities before sending or receiving.
Keep completed items and stock counts current
Record finished goods and check stock in the locations where it is stored. Review item history when a physical count and the saved quantity differ.
Build a practical manufacturing form
Start with a small set of fields and add detail only when it helps the team record or review a movement.
| Field | Example purpose |
|---|---|
| Barcode and item name | Identify a material, component, or finished item. |
| Stock and location | Record available quantity and where it belongs. |
| Batch or lot | Keep the reference used in your own receiving and production records. |
| Supplier or job reference | Connect the item details to the workflow your team follows. |
| Minimum stock | Flag an item when it reaches your chosen replenishment threshold. |
Keep the office and production team connected
Use Google Sheets or the available Excel/OneDrive connection to keep spreadsheet workflows part of your process. Test the configured sync mode with a sample item before expanding it to the full inventory.
Common manufacturing questions
Can I track both raw materials and finished goods?
Yes. Configure forms and fields for the item types your team tracks. Keep identifiers and units consistent so receiving, movement, and stock counts use the same references.
How do I record materials moving to another team?
Use the inventory transfer workflow to identify the sending and receiving forms and the quantities being moved. Check the receiving step and resulting stock records as part of the handover.
Can the production team use phones for scanning?
GearChain supports mobile barcode and QR scanning. Test your labels and the permissions on each team's form before using the workflow for a complete count.
How do I start with my existing spreadsheet?
Prepare clear column headers and consistent item identifiers, import a sample, and match the fields. Check the saved quantities before importing the rest.
