Inventorix — Modern Inventory Control for Laravel

Inventorix is a Laravel package that adds full inventory control to any Eloquent model. It handles stock tracking, movement history, reservations, FIFO/LIFO/Average costing, threshold alerts, serial number tracking, transaction rollback, and demand velocity — all without changing your existing models.

Installation

composer require aldeebhasan/inventorix

Publish and run the migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="inventorix-migrations"
php artisan migrate

Publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="inventorix-config"

Setup

Add the HasInventory trait to any Eloquent model you want to track:

use Aldeebhasan\Inventorix\Traits\HasInventory;

class Product extends Model
{
    use HasInventory;
}

You must have at least one Location record in the database before performing stock operations. Locations represent warehouses, bins, or any physical storage unit and support parent/child hierarchies via parent_id.

Basic Usage

You can use the HasInventory trait methods directly on the model, or the Inventorix facade for lower-level control.

Stock Operations

use Aldeebhasan\Inventorix\DTOs\StockOperationDto;

// Add stock
$product->addStock(quantity: 100, location: $location);

// Deduct stock
$product->deductStock(quantity: 10, location: $location);

// Set stock to an absolute quantity (reconciliation)
$product->adjustStock(newQuantity: 50, location: $location);

// Transfer between locations
$product->transfer(quantity: 20, from: $warehouseA, to: $warehouseB);

StockOperationDto

Pass a StockOperationDto as the last argument to any operation to control its behaviour:

$options = new StockOperationDto(
    transaction: $existingTransaction,   // attach to an open bulk transaction
    causable: $order,                    // the model that caused this operation
    cost: 9.99,                          // explicit cost per unit (null = no cost, false = use model's cost_price)
    note: 'Purchase order #123',
    createdBy: auth()->id(),
    allowNegative: true,                 // allow stock to go below zero for this call
    expiresAt: now()->addHours(2),       // reservation TTL
    serials: ['SN-001', 'SN-002'],       // explicit serial numbers
    lotReference: 'LOT-2024-01',
    externalReference: 'PO-9876',
    reasonCode: 'purchase',
);

$product->addStock(100, $location, $options);

Bulk / Grouped Transactions

Group multiple operations into a single atomic transaction:

use Aldeebhasan\Inventorix\Facades\Inventorix;

$transaction = Inventorix::bulk(function ($transaction) use ($product, $location) {
    $options = new StockOperationDto(transaction: $transaction);

    $product->addStock(50, $location, $options);
    $anotherProduct->deductStock(5, $location, $options);
});

If any operation inside the callback throws, the transaction is marked RolledBack and the exception propagates.

Transaction Rollback

Reverse a committed transaction by creating a compensating reversal:

$reversalTransaction = Inventorix::rollback($transaction);

This replays every movement in reverse (adds become deducts and vice-versa), handles serial number compensation automatically, and fires a TransactionRolledBack event.

Reservations

Reservations hold stock aside without permanently deducting it:

// Reserve stock
$reservation = $product->reserve(quantity: 5, location: $location);

// Release the reservation (stock returns to available)
$product->releaseReservation($reservation);

// Fulfill the reservation (converts reserved stock to a real deduction)
$product->fulfillReservation($reservation);

Reservations can have a TTL set via config (reservation_ttl_minutes) or per-call via StockOperationDto::$expiresAt. Run the scheduled command to expire stale reservations:

php artisan inventorix:expire-reservations

Querying Stock

// Stock record at a specific location
$stock = $product->stockAt($location);

// Totals (optionally scoped to a location, with or without child locations)
$product->totalStock();
$product->totalStock($location, includeChildren: true);
$product->availableStock($location);   // total - reserved
$product->reservedStock($location);

// Is stock below the configured low-stock threshold?
$product->isLowStock($location);

// Full summary array
$product->stockSummary($location);
// Returns: total_quantity, reserved_quantity, available_quantity, locations[], is_low_stock, last_movement_at

Valuation

// Value of on-hand stock for this product (uses configured costing strategy)
$product->stockValuation($location);

// Total valuation across all stockables or scoped to a location
Inventorix::totalValuation($location);

// Valuation of movements caused by a specific model
Inventorix::valuationByCausable($order);

Costing strategy is set in config (fifo, lifo, or average). Movements must carry a cost_per_unit value (set via StockOperationDto::$cost) for movement-based costing to apply.

Demand Velocity

// Average units deducted per day over the last N days
$product->stockVelocity($location, days: 30);

// How many days until stock runs out at current velocity
$product->daysOfStock($location, velocityDays: 30);

// The calendar day with the highest deductions in the last N days
$product->peakDemandDay($location, days: 90);

Thresholds & Alerts

// Set a low-stock threshold for a product at a location
$product->setStockThreshold(location: $location, minQuantity: 10, maxQuantity: 500);

// Manually trigger threshold evaluation
$product->checkThresholds($location);

Threshold checks run automatically after every addStock, deductStock, and adjustStock call. When stock crosses a boundary the package fires LowStockReached or OverstockReached. To find all items currently below threshold:

Inventorix::lowStockItems($location);          // scoped to a location
Inventorix::lowStockItems(stockableType: Product::class); // all products

Alert events can optionally be dispatched on a queue (queue_alerts / alert_queue in config). Threshold records are cached in-memory (configurable TTL via threshold_cache) to avoid a DB hit on every stock write.

Serial Number Tracking

Enable in config:

// config/inventorix.php
'serial_tracking' => [
    'enabled' => true,
],

When enabled, every addStock auto-generates a ULID serial number per unit, and every deductStock auto-consumes the oldest available serials at that location (FIFO). You can also supply explicit serial numbers:

$product->addStock(2, $location, new StockOperationDto(serials: ['SN-A1', 'SN-A2']));
$product->deductStock(1, $location, new StockOperationDto(serials: ['SN-A1']));

Reservations also lock specific serials:

$reservation = $product->reserve(1, $location, new StockOperationDto(serials: ['SN-A2']));

Lifecycle Hooks

Register callbacks that fire before/after add and deduct operations:

use Aldeebhasan\Inventorix\Facades\Inventorix;

Inventorix::beforeAdd(function ($stockable, $quantity, $location, $dto) {
    // called before every addStock
});

Inventorix::afterAdd(function ($stock, $movement) {
    // called after every addStock
});

Inventorix::beforeDeduct(function ($stockable, $quantity, $location, $dto) { });
Inventorix::afterDeduct(function ($stock, $movement) { });

Custom Costing Strategy Per Model

Override the costing strategy for a specific model by implementing inventorixCostingStrategy():

use Aldeebhasan\Inventorix\Enums\CostingStrategy;

class Product extends Model
{
    use HasInventory;

    public function inventorixCostingStrategy(): CostingStrategy
    {
        return CostingStrategy::Average;
    }
}

Events

All events live in Aldeebhasan\Inventorix\Events\. Disable all events or specific ones in config:

'events' => [
    'enabled' => true,
    'disable' => ['StockAdded', 'StockDeducted'],
],

Event	Fired when
StockAdded	Stock is added
StockDeducted	Stock is deducted
StockAdjusted	Stock is adjusted
StockTransferred	A transfer completes
StockReserved	A reservation is created
ReservationReleased	A reservation is released
ReservationFulfilled	A reservation is fulfilled
ReservationExpired	A reservation is expired by the command
LowStockReached	Stock falls at or below a min threshold
OverstockReached	Stock rises at or above a max threshold
TransactionRolledBack	A transaction is reversed

Artisan Commands

Command	Description
inventorix:expire-reservations	Release all reservations past their TTL
inventorix:prune-movements	Delete movements older than movement_prune_after_days
inventorix:stock-report	Generate a stock report

Schedule the expiry command in your application's scheduler:

// routes/console.php (Laravel 11+)
Schedule::command('inventorix:expire-reservations')->hourly();
Schedule::command('inventorix:prune-movements')->daily();
