SOS Inventory

SOS Inventory is a cloud-based inventory and order management application designed for small to mid-sized businesses that use QuickBooks Online as their accounting system. It is commonly adopted by manufacturers, wholesalers, e-commerce sellers, and distributors — particularly those in food and beverage, consumer goods, and general manufacturing — who have outgrown QuickBooks Online's native inventory capabilities but do not need a full ERP system.

SOS Inventory extends QuickBooks Online by adding sales order management, purchase order processing, multi-location inventory tracking, and manufacturing features like bills of materials, work orders, and work-in-progress tracking. It supports lot and serial number tracking, barcode scanning, bin-level warehouse organization, and multiple costing methods. The fulfillment module handles pick tickets, packing slips, partial shipments, drop shipments, and backorder management. The platform also provides demand-based reorder point calculations and automated purchase order generation.

Logistics teams working with SOS Inventory typically rely on it as a source of sales orders, purchase orders, shipment records, and real-time inventory data across multiple locations. Because it syncs transactions — including invoices and inventory updates — with QuickBooks Online in real time, it often serves as the operational layer that feeds both fulfillment workflows and financial records for product-based small businesses.
