Can it use our item codes?
Bring sample item codes and explain whether they identify a product, variant, batch or individual piece. Existing identifiers should be reviewed before choosing an import or barcode approach.
How are stock adjustments handled?
Define who can make an adjustment, the reasons that must be recorded and the information needed to review it. The implementation should preserve the agreed responsibility and movement history.
Can existing stock be imported?
An import needs sample files, field mapping and a clear starting balance date. Confirm how duplicates, missing identifiers and opening quantities will be checked before treating imported stock as ready.
How is the project scope agreed?
Agree the essential tasks, information, roles and acceptance examples before development. For inventory software development, that means documenting item codes, locations and movement documents and separating launch requirements from later additions.
What should the proposal make clear?
Ask for the deliverables, external dependencies, ownership, testing and handover responsibilities to be named. The proposal should also explain commercial terms, exclusions and how changes to the agreed scope are handled.
