Solutions by role · Purchase & Receiving

PO to GRN. Structured, scan-validated, done.

Purchase and receiving teams handle the operational flow that determines inventory accuracy for the entire business. Stockrect gives you the workflow, controls, and mobile tools to run procurement and goods receipt without the chaos of paper-based coordination.

mobile goods receipt — scanning against PO line items, discrepancy flagged

The purchase & receiving reality.

You're coordinating with dozens of vendors. Approving purchase orders based on someone's estimate of what stock will be needed. Receiving shipments at the dock and reconciling against paperwork that doesn't always match. Managing vendor payment cycles based on invoices that need three-way matching.

When it works, the business hums along quietly. When it doesn't work — wrong quantities received, short shipments not flagged, damaged goods accepted, vendor invoices paid without verification — the errors cascade through the entire operation. Every wrong receipt shows up later as a stock discrepancy, a customer commitment that can't be fulfilled, or a payment dispute.

The core problem: your workflow depends on paper. Paper POs. Paper GRNs. Paper vendor invoices. And paper doesn't validate itself.

Featured workflow

The dock, on a Monday morning.

01

A vendor truck arrives at 9:30 AM with a delivery against PO#4172. Your team member opens the mobile app, scans the PO barcode on the delivery paperwork, and the app displays expected line items with quantities.

02

The team scans each item as it comes off the truck. Line 3 (Bearing SKU-8834) shows a quantity discrepancy — 47 received against 50 expected. The app flags this instantly. Your team captures a note ("3 units short — vendor to confirm") and completes the scan for remaining items.

03

The system posts the GRN with the discrepancy flag. The vendor is auto-notified. The 3-way match reconciliation will hold vendor payment for those 3 units until resolved. No paper. No end-of-day reconciliation. No forgotten discrepancy that surfaces two months later when the auditor asks.
