Industry-standard library
The fields real inventory systems use, ready to switch on.
Custom fields
Custom Inventory Fields
Your items carry exactly the fields your business needs — SKU, cost price, supplier, expiry, lot number, unit of measure, or anything you invent.
- An industry-standard library to switch on in one tap
- Or create your own: any name, any type
- Values are kept even if you later hide a field
- AI, alerts, exports and the API all read them
One system, many industries
A grocery store needs expiry dates and lot numbers. A parts shop needs SKUs, supplier codes and cost prices. A workshop needs project names. Forcing all of them into the same fixed form produces software that is cluttered for everyone and right for nobody.
Custom fields let the owner choose. Enable what you need from a library of standard fields — SKU, cost price, reorder level, reorder quantity, supplier, supplier email, supplier SKU, unit of measure, status, expiry date, lot number, lead time, brand, model number — or define your own with any name and type. Only the enabled fields appear, in a tidy Details section.
What you get
Invent your own
Any label, any type — text, number, currency or date.
Nothing is lost
Values persist even if a field is later disabled, and return when you re-enable it.
Powers everything else
Cost price drives valuation and margins; reorder level drives auto-reorder; expiry drives FEFO.
AI understands them
The Analyst and alert rules can query and watch any field you define.
Import-aware
Spreadsheet columns map into fields automatically, enabling the ones you used.
The right form for your business
Two inputs for a market stall, twelve for a pharmacy — the same software, shaped by whoever owns it.

Frequently asked questions
Can I add my own fields to inventory items?
Yes — either from a library of standard fields (SKU, cost price, supplier, expiry, lot, unit, lead time and more) or entirely your own with any name and a type of text, number, currency or date. Only fields you enable appear in the editor, so the form stays as simple as your business needs.
What happens to my data if I turn a field off?
The values stay. Disabling a field hides it from the editor without deleting anything, and re-enabling it brings the data straight back. It is safe to experiment with your setup.
Do custom fields work with search, exports and the API?
Yes. They appear in Excel exports, are readable through the API, can be watched by alert rules, and the AI Analyst can answer questions about them — "what is my total value at cost" works because cost price is a field.
Which fields should a small business start with?
Cost price and reorder level earn their place immediately: the first unlocks valuation and margins, the second unlocks low-stock alerts and auto-reorder. Add supplier and SKU when you start purchasing, and expiry plus lot only if you sell perishables.
