Build Your Manufacturing Process Management System with Wasp
Combine manufacturing inventory and asset tracking to maintain visibility into materials, equipment, production stages, and finished goods.
Keep Manufacturing Materials Organized and Production Moving
Wasp Inventory gives manufacturers one centralized system to track raw materials, components, and finished goods across the production process. Replace spreadsheets with accurate inventory data, clear locations, and real-time stock levels. Track each item by lot number, date code, or serial number, set minimum and maximum stock levels so production teams know what to reorder before a build stalls, and count inventory with barcode scanners instead of clipboards.
Simplify Manufacturing Process Management
Missing components, inaccurate inventory, and manual tracking slow down production and increase costs. Wasp Inventory helps manufacturers track materials, manage stock levels, and maintain visibility throughout the production process so builds stay on schedule. Wasp works alongside the ERP or accounting system you already run, so you get accurate material tracking on the floor without replacing the system that runs your business.

Receive Alerts for Low or Missing Materials
Get automatic notifications when materials fall below minimum levels or require attention so issues can be addressed before production is affected. -
Run Inventory and Production Reports
Use 70+ built-in reports to monitor material usage, stock levels, and inventory movement. Export, schedule, or automatically email reports to keep teams informed. -
Simplify Inventory Audits and Cycle Counts
Perform faster, more accurate audits with barcode scanning and system reconciliation. Keep inventory records up to date with what’s actually on the floor.
What You Can Track Through Production
Wasp Inventory tracks materials from receiving through production to finished goods, giving manufacturers the detail they need for traceability and accurate inventory counts.
Lot, date code, and serial tracking
Track items by lot number, date code, or serial number to trace components back to their source or forward to the finished goods they were used to produce.
Bills of materials, assemblies, and kits
Build finished goods from component parts and track the inventory used in each assembly or kit.
Physical inventory audits
Count inventory with barcode scanners using visible quantities, hidden quantities, or blind counts, then reconcile any differences.
Minimum and maximum stock levels
Set minimum and maximum stock levels by item and get alerts before materials run low and delay production.
Multiple sites and locations
Track materials across plants, warehouses, stockrooms, and other inventory locations.
Purchase orders and receiving
Create purchase orders, receive inventory against them, and track what has been ordered and received from each vendor.
Reporting
Run 60 or more pre-built reports, build your own with the report designer, and schedule reports for email delivery.
Mobile scanning on the floor
Receive materials, issue components to production, and count inventory from Android or iOS devices, including while offline.

Customer Success – Racesource Inc.
As Racesource grew, their spreadsheet-based system made it difficult to track parts and inventory accurately. Without clear visibility, the company often reordered or manufactured parts they already had, increasing costs. After implementing Wasp Inventory and labeling all inventory with barcodes, Racesource gained accurate visibility into their materials and production parts. The result: 52 hours of manual tracking eliminated and approximately $8,000 saved annually by avoiding unnecessary reorders.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do manufacturers track inventory with barcodes on the shop floor?
How do manufacturers track inventory with barcodes on the shop floor?
Manufacturers label raw materials, components, bins, and finished goods with barcodes, then scan them as materials are received, issued to a build, moved, or counted. Each scan updates inventory in Wasp Inventory, so stock levels stay accurate without manual entry. Teams can scan from a handheld barcode scanner or from an Android or iOS device on the floor.
What hardware do plants use to track raw materials and finished goods?
What hardware do plants use to track raw materials and finished goods?
Most plants use a 2D barcode scanner for receiving and counting, and an industrial barcode printer to create durable labels for materials, bins, and finished goods. Wasp supplies both alongside the software, so the hardware is already tested with the system. The WDI4700 and WDI4250 scanners and the WPL614Plus and WPL305 printers are common choices for manufacturing.
How does Wasp Inventory support manufacturing operations?
How does Wasp Inventory support manufacturing operations?
Wasp Inventory tracks raw materials, components, and finished goods through production in one system. It supports lot, date code, and serial number tracking for traceability, minimum and maximum stock levels to prevent stockouts, barcode-based physical audits, and reporting on stock and usage. Bills of materials, assemblies, and kits are available in the Wasp Inventory Complete edition.
Can Wasp track bills of materials and kits?
Can Wasp track bills of materials and kits?
Yes. Wasp Inventory can track bills of materials, assemblies, and kits, so you can build a finished item from component parts and keep accurate counts of both. This capability is part of the Wasp Inventory Complete edition and requires additional licensing.
Does Wasp work alongside an ERP or MRP system?
Does Wasp work alongside an ERP or MRP system?
Yes. Wasp Inventory is an inventory tracking and traceability system rather than an MRP or production-scheduling system, and manufacturers commonly run it alongside an existing ERP or accounting platform. It gives you accurate barcode-based material tracking on the floor without replacing the system that runs the rest of the business.
How does lot and date code tracking work for manufacturers?
How does lot and date code tracking work for manufacturers?
Each item can be tracked by lot number, date code, or serial number as it moves through receiving, production, and shipping. That record lets you trace a component back to the supplier and lot it came from, or forward to the finished goods it was used in, which is what makes a recall or a quality investigation manageable. Lot and date code tracking is included in every edition of Wasp Inventory.
