Foundational Concept

Packeting, explained simply.

Packeting lets StockCore understand that one product can exist in multiple units of measure — such as cartons, boxes, and pieces — while still representing the exact same physical stock.

Level 1: Carton

1 Carton

Contains 8 standard packaging boxes

Wholesale purchase unit

Level 2: Box

8 Boxes

Contains 6 retail packaged pieces each

Distribution transfer unit

Level 3: Piece

48 Pieces

Individual item sold in retail or online

End-customer unit

Live Calculation Example: 5 Cartons in Stock

StockCore registers precisely:

5 Cartons = 40 Boxes = 240 Pieces

Core Capability

Why Multi-UOM Packeting Matters

Streamline operations from warehouse receiving bays to e-commerce storefront checkout.

Buy in Bulk Units

Streamline purchasing by ordering from suppliers in master cartons or pallets. Match Purchase Orders (POs) to supplier terms seamlessly without manual recalculations.

Sell in Retail Units

Automatically break down bulk stock upon receipt. Sell to customers in inner boxes or individual pieces instantly while live omnichannel stock balances stay accurate.

Eliminate Conversion Errors

No more manual math or spreadsheet formulas. Eliminate costly stock discrepancies caused by human error during unit conversion processes.

Industry Fit

Built for wholesalers and distributors

This feature is especially relevant for businesses that buy in bulk from manufacturers or importers and resell in smaller quantities to retailers or end customers — where mismatched unit conversions are a common source of stock discrepancies.

FMCG & Hospitality

Food & Beverage Distributors

Master pallets → cases → 6-packs → individual cans or bottles. Perfect for cold storage and shelf-stable beverage wholesalers.

Trade & Industrial

Hardware & Industrial Supplies

Master wooden crates → inner boxes of 50 → single fasteners or fittings. Built for complex trade merchant catalogue structures.

Omnichannel Retail

Cosmetics & Retail Importers

Outer shipping shippers → counter display units (CDUs) → individual retail units. Ensure shelf allocations mirror warehouse bins.

Smart Packaging for Modern Distribution

Buy in bulk. Sell however your customers need.

Let StockCore handle every carton, box, and piece conversion automatically while your team works from one accurate stock balance.
