Also known as Real estate inventory, inventory management
For a new project, inventory is usually shown as a grid: towers across, floors down, each cell a unit coloured by status. Sales teams need it accurate to the minute, because two closing managers promising the same east-facing 12th-floor unit to two buyers on a launch weekend is a costly mistake. Channel partners often get a filtered view of the units they are allowed to sell.
Each unit carries its own price elements: base rate per square foot on the carpet or super built-up area, floor rise, preferential location charges (PLC) for park-facing or corner units, parking, and the payment plan. Inventory management software ties these to the cost sheet, so a price change flows to every unit and every quote at once.
Example
A launch weekend grid (illustrative)
A Hyderabad builder launches Tower B with 120 units. On Saturday morning 120 are available; by evening the grid shows 18 booked, 9 on hold for 48 hours and 93 available. A CP showing the grid on his phone steers a buyer away from the 14th-floor east-facing units, which are all on hold, to similar units on floor 11.
Figures are illustrative, not market rates.
Questions about Unit inventory
What is inventory management software in real estate?
Software that keeps each project unit’s details, price and status in one place, shows availability as a grid, and updates it when units are held, booked or cancelled. It usually connects to cost sheets, bookings and channel-partner access so everyone sells from the same live list.
Do resale brokers have inventory?
Yes, in a looser sense: their listings — homes and rentals they have a mandate for or know about. Listing inventory has fewer fixed fields than project units and changes faster, so it is usually managed as listings rather than a tower-and-floor grid.
