Quick answer: Library inventory management keeps track of every item’s status: on the shelf, on loan, missing or under repair. FlyLib library inventory management supports section-by-section stock verification, turning a dreaded annual exercise into an organised process.
Annual stock verification is the week many librarians dread. Shelves are checked against registers line by line, loans have to be reconciled by hand, and the final count rarely matches. Missing books are discovered months after they went missing.
Why stock checks are so painful
Paper registers do not know which books are on loan, which were withdrawn and which were simply mis-shelved. Every discrepancy has to be investigated manually.

- Live status: on shelf, on loan, missing or under repair.
