Build an Inventory Management System in 75 minutes with Low-Code (step-by-step video)

We just released a new video that takes you step-by-step through an inventory management system build process. We created this video to demonstrate just how quickly you can create custom applications (like an inventory management system) with m-Power. In roughly 75 minutes, we go from just the data in our database to a fully functional inventory management system, and explain each step along the way. Watch the video below to see the whole process!

The Power of Custom Inventory Management

If development time wasn’t such an issue, most businesses would jump at the chance to have a custom system. After all, your inventory management needs are unique to your business. The way you track stock, manage suppliers, handle warehousing, and process orders likely differs from other companies, even within your industry.

That’s why m-Power gives you such a competitive advantage. It lets you build custom inventory management systems (or any type of business application) in hours or days…often faster than it would take to deploy an off-the-shelf system. Custom inventory systems offer compelling advantages that generic solutions simply can’t match:

  • Perfectly Aligned Workflows: Your business has developed specific processes that work for you. Why change them to fit software limitations? A custom system adapts to your workflows, not the other way around.
  • Seamless Integration: Connect directly with your existing systems—whether it’s your accounting software, e-commerce platform, or supplier networks. No more double-entry or manual data transfers.
  • Complete Control Over Features: Why pay for features you’ll never use? With a custom system, you get exactly what you need.
  • Flexible Deployment Options: Unlike most off-the-shelf solutions that force you into the cloud, a custom system can be deployed wherever makes sense for your business—cloud, on-premise, or hybrid.
  • Scalability Without Hidden Costs: Many standard inventory solutions become prohibitively expensive as you grow, charging per user, warehouse, or SKU. A custom solution grows with your business without these scaling penalties.

The Traditional Barrier: Development Time

So why isn’t everyone building custom inventory systems? Traditionally, the answer has been simple: time and cost. Custom development typically means months of work and significant investment. As you saw in the video above, m-Power eliminates those drawbacks.

The best part: It lets you build anything, using the same processes as you saw in the video. Other customers use m-Power to build applications like:

  • Database front-ends
  • Customer/employee portals
  • CRM systems
  • BI and reporting applications
  • applications that “fill the gaps” in their existing systems
  • and much more!
