ApplicationsHYPERSTOCK - MOBILE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT FOR LINNWORKS

HyperStock - Mobile Inventory Management for Linnworks

HyperStock connects to Linnworks to manage inventory, stock takes, bin racks, purchase orders, orders, sales dashboards, and team access from mobile and Zebra handheld devices.

Overview

HyperStock is a mobile inventory management application for Linnworks, built by Rishvi. It runs on iOS and Android phones and on Zebra Android handheld scanners, and connects directly to your Linnworks account.

HyperStock gives your team live access to Linnworks stock items, stock locations, purchase orders, and orders from the warehouse floor. Users can search and scan stock, add and edit items, update stock levels and bin racks, carry out stock takes, transfer stock between locations, and raise and receive purchase orders without returning to a desktop.

Alongside day-to-day stock control, HyperStock provides a sales dashboard, open and processed order views, low-stock alerts, inventory analytics, and per-user permissions for your team. Changes are made directly in Linnworks, so your Linnworks account remains the source of truth.

HyperStock is designed to help your team keep stock accurate, act on problems early, and manage Linnworks inventory from any device. We hope this guide helps you get the most from it.
