stock management

Controlling stored goods

Stock management is the process of ordering, storing, and tracking inventory to ensure adequate supply without excess.

Businesses use stock management to balance having enough products to meet demand against the costs of holding too much: Our stock management software flags items when they drop below minimum levels.

The term appears interchangeably with inventory management in retail and manufacturing contexts.
