Inventory management software for small manufacturers

Inventory, purchasing, production, and payables in one lighter ERP alternative.

Sorbetto helps small manufacturers and growing product brands move past spreadsheet inventory without jumping straight into a heavy ERP rollout. Track what you have, what is on order, what was built, what shipped, and what is owed from one connected operations system.

Why spreadsheets start breaking

Inventory management gets harder when every workflow lives in a different place.

Small manufacturers usually do not fail because one spreadsheet is bad. They struggle because purchasing, receiving, production, shipments, vendor bills, and reports drift apart. Sorbetto is built for that middle stage: more control than spreadsheets, less overhead than enterprise ERP.

Inventory by location is not current.

Stock sits at a 3PL, warehouse, co-manufacturer, or production location, but the spreadsheet only reflects whoever updated it last.

POs and receipts do not match cleanly.

Partial receipts, short shipments, and vendor follow-ups turn into manual reconciliation instead of a reliable purchase order history.

Production changes component inventory.

BOMs, builds, assemblies, and finished goods need to update inventory and cost together, not in a separate workbook.

COGS and valuation take too long.

Month-end reporting depends on inventory movements, purchase costs, landed cost, shipments, and adjustments all agreeing.

What Sorbetto connects

One operating record for inventory management and the work around it.

Sorbetto is not only a stock count tool. It connects the workflows that make inventory accurate.

Inventory tracking by SKU and location

Receipts, builds, transfers, adjustments, and shipments post to one inventory ledger so your team can see what is on hand and where it sits.

Purchasing and receiving

Create POs, receive against them, keep partial receipts open, and preserve the document trail from order to inventory impact.

Production, BOMs, and work orders

Use BOMs and work orders to consume components and receive finished goods without manually rebuilding component spreadsheets.

Vendor bills and payables

Link vendor bills to receipts and payments so purchasing, AP, and inventory history stay connected.

COGS and inventory reporting

Run inventory valuation, open PO, AP aging, cash forecast, component cost, and COGS reporting from the same operational data.

Lightweight ERP alternative

For teams that need ERP discipline before they need ERP overhead.

Spreadsheets Flexible, but fragile

Easy to start, hard to govern. Every added SKU, location, vendor, and production step creates another place for the numbers to drift.

Sorbetto Connected operations layer

Inventory management, purchasing, production, payables, and reporting tied together without forcing a large ERP implementation too early.

Enterprise ERP Powerful, but heavy

Often the right long-term path for larger teams, but expensive and slow when a small manufacturer needs practical control now.

Good fit

Built for the messy middle of small manufacturing and product operations.

Small manufacturers with BOMs, assemblies, kitting, filling, or light production.

DTC and ecommerce brands working with 3PLs, co-packers, or outside warehouses.

Founders and operations leads who need inventory accuracy before hiring a full ops team.

Product brands that need purchasing, inventory, AP, and reporting connected before diligence or scale.
