Abstract: A system and method for managing inventory dynamically. The system includes personal computers (10), a central server (11), a central database (12), a web server (13), a carrier information system (14), and branch servers (15). The personal computers are located in various departments of a manufacturer and linked to the central server, for users to obtain and manage inventory information. The central database is linked to the central server for storing inventory information. The web server is linked to the central database, for relevant personnel of clients and carriers to obtain real-time inventory information. The carrier information system is linked to the central server, for transmitting information on in-transit inventory to the central server during transportation. The branch servers are located in overseas hubs/factories of the manufacturer and linked to the central server, for sending information on any changes in inventory in the hubs/factories to the central server.
