Arka Inventory is an inventory and warehouse management application built natively on the Salesforce platform, aimed at businesses that already run their sales, service or operations through Salesforce and want inventory control in the same system rather than a separate ERP integration. It covers the full stock lifecycle - visibility, commitment, alerts, purchasing, manufacturing and warehousing - through a single, modular product.
The product is sold in three tiers that layer on capability: a base Inventory tier for stock visibility and operations, an Inventory + MRP tier that adds purchase planning and requisitions for manufacturing-style businesses, and a full Inventory + MRP + Warehouse Management (WHM) tier that adds landed cost visibility and multi-location warehouse operations. It's listed on Salesforce AppExchange, where it holds a 4.9/5 rating, with customer testimonials describing week-long implementation timelines and strong customization support.
Arka Inventory is best suited to growing businesses that already run their operations on Salesforce and need real inventory, purchasing, manufacturing or warehouse control without bolting on a separate ERP system. It's a weaker fit for businesses not on Salesforce, or very small operations that don't need multi-location or manufacturing-grade inventory features and would be over-served by the MRP/WHM tiers.
Key features
Inventory Visibility
Tracks inventory levels and movement throughout the sales cycle, so stock data stays current inside Salesforce rather than a separate system.
Commit Inventory
Lets teams reserve stock against specific orders to prevent overselling of limited inventory.
Inventory Alerts
Sends automated notifications when stock hits thresholds or other inventory issues need attention.
Bill of Materials
Defines products that are assembled from multiple component materials, supporting manufacturing and kitting use cases.
Lot & Serial Tracking
Tracks inventory by batch/lot, expiry date and individual serial number for traceability and compliance.
Forecasting & Purchase Automation
Uses demand forecasting to help automate and time purchase orders, reducing manual reordering work.
Warehouse Management
Supports multi-location warehouse operations, part of the top Inventory + MRP + WHM tier.
Landed Cost Tracking
Gives full cost visibility on inventory, including freight and other landed costs, alongside custom reports and dashboards.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Living natively inside Salesforce means inventory data sits alongside sales, service and customer records instead of requiring a separate ERP integration or nightly sync
- A 4.9/5 AppExchange rating and testimonials describing a roughly one-week implementation suggest a comparatively low-friction rollout for a Salesforce-native inventory system
- Modular tiers ($39 to $59/user/month) let businesses start with basic inventory visibility and add manufacturing (MRP) or warehouse management only when they need it
- Covers lot/serial tracking, Bill of Materials and landed cost together, which typically requires stitching multiple point tools outside the Salesforce ecosystem
Cons
- It's a Salesforce-only solution - businesses running a different CRM/ERP core would need to switch platforms or integrate separately to use it
- The AppExchange review base is still small (10 reviews), so while the 4.9/5 rating is strong, it's based on a limited sample compared to larger inventory platforms
- Reviewers flag that Bill of Material setup takes real training time and isn't fully intuitive out of the box
- Per-user monthly pricing across a larger warehouse or operations team can add up compared to flat-fee inventory tools
