Kechie ERP: Cloud ERP with Powerful Inventory Management and End-to-End Traceability

Growing businesses hit operational roadblocks in different ways. For some, spreadsheets and disconnected apps break down as orders accelerate and warehouses expand. For others, a legacy ERP system becomes the bottleneck. Why? Because many of these older platforms were originally designed as accounting software, and only later added operational modules as an afterthought. The result is a patchwork of rigid features, costly customizations, and workflows that don’t truly fit how modern businesses run.

Either way, with legacy systems or spreadsheets the outcome is the same: poor visibility, inefficient processes, and frustrated teams.

Kechie ERP is the alternative. It’s a cloud-native ERP designed for growing businesses across industries and for organizations that need enterprise-grade ERP without enterprise overhead. With a strong focus on inventory management and full traceability, Kechie connects finance, warehouse, procurement, sales, and CRM—all in one streamlined system.

Why Cloud ERP and Traceability Matter

Modern supply chains are global, regulations are stricter, and customers expect transparency. Businesses need more than transactional record-keeping. They need real-time visibility and end-to-end traceability across every product, order, and financial transaction.

Imagine you need a report on X, Y, or Z/ Imagine you need to report to X about Z by tomorrow morning.

Kechie makes that possible. Unlike legacy ERPs that rely on batch updates or require heavy IT support, Kechie is fully cloud-native. Every transaction—an invoice, a shipment, a purchase order—updates instantly across all modules. That means no manual reconciliations, no overnight syncs, and no blind spots.

Why Kechie Stands Out

Inventory & Warehouse Control

• Lot and batch tracking with serialization to maintain end-to-end product history.
• Multi-warehouse and bin-level control for accurate, location-based visibility.
• Barcode scanning and license plate labeling (LPN) to streamline receiving and picking.
• Automated reorder points, cycle counting, and real-time inventory updates.

Warehouse Management (WMS) & Logistics

• Inbound receiving & put away with guided locations and bin moves.
• Picking, packing & shipping workflows tied directly to orders and inventory.
• Transfer & replenishment between bins and warehouses to keep the right stock in the right place.
• Labeling & documents: packing slips, carrier labels, and bills of lading.
• Carrier connectivity (e.g., via shipping integrations) for tracking numbers and status updates—so customers and teams always know where an order stands.
• Freight terms & rate options captured within the flow to reduce errors and speed fulfillment.

Order Management, CRM & B2B Portal

• Sales workflows from quote to invoice, tied directly to inventory.
• B2B eCommerce portal where customers can place orders, check status, and view invoices themselves.
• Built-in CRM to manage leads, accounts, and customer relationships.

Procurement & Supplier Collaboration

• Automated purchase orders and approvals.
• SupplierHub portal for vendors to confirm POs, submit quotes, and track activity in real time.
• Landed cost tracking and vendor performance scorecards.

Finance & Accounting

Legacy ERPs often feel strongest in accounting, but clunky in operations because finance came first. Kechie is different: its financials are built to move in lockstep with inventory, purchasing, and sales. That means the numbers always tell the whole story.

Key features include:

• General Ledger (GL): Fully integrated with every module, so financials update instantly as transactions happen.
• Accounts Payable (AP) & Accounts Receivable (AR): Automated billing, payments, invoicing, and collections tracking.
• Bank Reconciliation: Match cash, deposits, and payments across multiple accounts.
• Cost Center & Department Tracking: Assign revenue and expenses to specific teams, warehouses, or projects.
• Multi-Warehouse Costing: See profitability per site or business unit.
• Audit Trails: Every financial transaction logged for compliance and transparency.
• Revenue Recognition: Automates compliance by matching revenue to the right time period, contract, or performance obligation.
• Financial Dashboards & Reporting: Drill down from consolidated views into transaction-level detail, without waiting for batch updates.

Reporting & Analytics

Reporting is where many ERPs stumble—requiring a consultant or custom report builder for even basic insights. Kechie flips that script with hundreds of pre-built reports across every module—finance, inventory, procurement, sales, CRM, and more. Teams get real-time, actionable information without waiting on IT. High-level dashboards and transaction-level drilldowns turn reporting into a daily advantage, not a project.

Integrations

Kechie connects with the tools modern businesses rely on every day. Some of the Out-of-the-box integrations include:

• Ecommerce – synchronize online storefronts with inventory and order management.

• Shipping – connect carriers and logistics platforms for real-time fulfillment and tracking.
• Tax Integration – automate tax calculation and compliance at checkout.
• EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) – streamline communication and document exchange with trading partners.
• Credit Card Processing (CC) – enable secure, integrated payment workflows.
• Point of Sale (POS) – unify retail and online sales data for accurate inventory and reporting.
• Marketplace Integrations – manage multichannel operations across platforms such as online marketplaces.
• Routing – optimize delivery routes to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure on-time service.

Note: Kechie also offers a two-way QuickBooks Online integration, so companies that rely on QBO can keep accounting in sync with operational modules.

These integrations reduce manual data entry, eliminate silos, and help businesses manage sales, finance, logistics, and fulfillment from one connected ERP.

Kechie in Action: Industry Use Cases

• Distributors rely on Kechie’s lot tracking to manage recalls quickly and confidently, ensuring compliance while protecting customer trust.
• Manufacturers gain visibility into serialized production, manage bills of materials, and see real-time costing across work centers.
• Service Providers align project management, resources, and billing with financial reporting in a single system.
• Retailers unify ecommerce and in-store sales, keeping stock accurate and customer promises reliable.
• Nonprofits leverage Kechie’s transparent reporting to demonstrate accountability to donors, and grantors- ensuring confidence in how inventory, donations and funds are managed

Why Kechie vs. Traditional ERP

Many businesses assume they have only two choices: limp along with spreadsheets or wrestle with a traditional ERP. But traditional systems come with baggage. Most started as finance tools first, and operations were bolted on later. That’s why they often feel disjointed—accounting runs smoothly, but inventory, purchasing, WMS, and sales require workarounds.

Kechie offers a third path: an ERP built from day one to unify both finance and operations, with traceability at the core.

Kechie delivers enterprise-grade capability without enterprise overhead, giving companies a system designed for the way they operate today—not decades ago.
