The shelf that watches itself

Inventory tracks what you have, what it cost, and - because batches deduct automatically - what you are using per week. That usage rate is what turns a static list into forecasts: weeks of stock left, reorder-by dates, and a shopping list you mostly never have to write.

Starting a batch deducts its ingredients with one confirm. Ad-hoc use has a maker-shaped path too: open the item, choose Use in production, Waste or spoilage, Physical count, or Receive stock, and enter the amount. Every adjustment lands in the item's history with its reason.

With a usage rate and a reorder point, each item shows how many weeks of stock remain and the date to reorder by - lead time included. The same forecast powers the low-stock cards on the dashboard.

Items join the list when stock runs low or a reorder window opens, grouped by supplier with a copyable order list. Mark a group Ordered and its low-stock flags pause while the delivery is in flight; when the box arrives, one tap on Receivedconfirms the quantity (editable, because deliveries arrive short) and the stock lands. “Not this time” snoozes a suggestion for two weeks.
