Quick Start Guide
Get from a blank IEMSuite account to your first fulfilled order in 15–20 minutes.
Before You Begin
This guide walks you through IEMSuite from a blank account to your first fulfilled order. The entire process takes about 15–20 minutes.
Step 1 – Register & Create Your Organization
Go to app.iemsuite.com
Click "Sign Up" and fill in your name, email, and password.
Create your organization
Enter your company name. This becomes your workspace. All users you invite will share this organization.
During Early Access, select any plan
All plans are free during Early Access. Choose based on the features you want to explore.
Step 2 – Set Up Your Warehouse Location
Every stock lot must live in a location. You need at least one warehouse before you can receive stock.
Go to Inventory → Locations
Click "Add Location" in the top right.
Create a Warehouse
Set Type = WAREHOUSE, give it a name (e.g. "Main Warehouse"), and save.
Add sub-locations (optional)
Inside your warehouse, add Aisles, Racks, or Bins for more granular tracking. Example: Warehouse A → Aisle 1 → Rack 3 → Bin 7.
Step 3 – Add Your Products
Go to Inventory → Products
Click "New Product".
Fill in the product details
Enter SKU, name, unit of measure (kg, pcs, L, etc.), and select the product type.
Set shelf life (optional)
If your product expires, enter the shelf life in days. IEMSuite will automatically calculate expiry dates when you receive stock.
Set a low-stock alert threshold (optional)
Enter the minimum quantity you want to keep on hand. You'll be alerted when stock falls below this level.
Save the product
The product is now ready to receive stock against.
Step 4 – Receive Your First Stock (Inbound Log)
Go to Inventory → Inbound Log and click "Log Inbound Items"
This opens the inbound receiving form.
Select a product and enter the lot number
Use your supplier's lot/batch number, or type any identifier.
Enter quantity and cost
Enter the quantity received and the cost per unit.
Select the destination location
Choose which warehouse the stock should go to.
Save
IEMSuite creates a stock lot with status AVAILABLE and logs an INBOUND transaction.
Step 5 – Create Your First Order
Go to Orders → New Order
Click the "New Order" button.
Select a client
Choose an existing client or create a new one.
Add line items
Select the products you want to include, enter quantities and unit prices.
Submit
IEMSuite automatically allocates (reserves) available stock using your FIFO/FEFO strategy.
Step 6 – Ship the Order
Open the order
Go to Orders and click on your order.
Create a shipment
Click "Create Shipment". Select the items to include.
Confirm Shipment
Mark the shipment as "Ready for Pickup", then "Confirm Shipment". This deducts stock from the reserved lots and marks the order as SHIPPED.
Shopify sync (if connected)
IEMSuite automatically updates the Shopify order's fulfillment status.
