Pipefy is useful for purchase request workflows. But to manage the physical balance of products, tools like **Sortly, Cin7, NetSuite, and Jestor** are more suitable alternatives, as they function as inventory databases, not just task managers.

### **Managing quantities, not just cards**

In a linear process, the item is text. In an inventory system, the item is a record with quantity, value, location, and history. Inventory operations require mathematical calculations (inputs - outputs) that pure BPM tools struggle to execute natively.

### **What Inventory Operations is looking for**

- **Balance Control:** Knowing exactly how many items are on the shelf in real-time.
- **Traceability:** Knowing who took the item and for which project.
- **Low Stock Alerts:** Being notified when it's time to restock.
- **Multiple Locations:** Managing central warehouse and branch stock.
