Boost.Space Warehouse system: Unlimited catalogue and modular management

The stock card is the base for keeping track of goods and other stock items. It contains general information about the item handled in the warehouse (e.g. name, identifier, description, and other general information and values of these properties).

The stock card contains a list of all related stock items that are being dealt with across all warehouses. A stock card can be, for example, “iPhone 13 Pro” or “MacBook Air 13”.
