"freee Inventory Management" Begins Offering MCP Server

freee Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Daisuke Sasaki, hereinafter referred to as "freee") announces that "freee Inventory Management," which seamlessly integrates inventory management with accounting, has begun offering a remote version of its MCP server. This update enables automatic journal entries based on shipping performance, sales analysis by sales channel, extraction of products at risk of stockouts, and visualization of aging inventory, all through simple text instructions to AI via chat, without the need for manual labor.

freee will continue to provide an experience that evolves from "how easy it is for humans (Done by You)" to "how much can be entrusted to AI (Done for You).

Achieve Sales Strategies and Management Based on Accurate Inventory Status

Previously, many small and medium-sized businesses and e-commerce operators faced challenges due to the separation of sales/inventory management and accounting systems, requiring significant effort to grasp accurate sales and asset values based on shipping performance. Furthermore, many relied on manual spreadsheets for sales aggregation by channel and checking for stockouts or aging inventory, hindering timely business decisions. The introduction of the MCP server now allows for automatic aggregation of sales revenue by sales channel, such as in-house e-commerce and wholesale, eliminating the need for previous CSV work and re-aggregation. Concurrently, it enables early detection of stockouts through automatic identification of products reflecting reorder points, and interactive visualization of aging inventory (products not shipped for a certain period) and their values. The MCP server will support seamless integration of inventory data and management data, and decision-making for sales strategies and cash flow improvement based on accurate inventory information.

The MCP server offered this time is provided by Logikura Inc., a group company of freee. While it differs from "freee-mcp" provided by freee, using both in conjunction will enable cross-product information utilization.

Specific Use Cases for "MCP Server" Compatible with "freee Inventory Management"

<Sales Analysis by Shipping Destination and Sales Channel>

Automatic aggregation of sales revenue and shipping volume by shipping destination and channel, broken down by period, is now possible. You can visualize "which channels are growing," "which channels surged during the year-end sales season," and "which channels have recently slowed down," based on actual shipping history data. Since sales ratios and sales rankings by channel can also be displayed simultaneously, decision-making materials for sales promotion budgets and channel strategies are available with a single action.

<Early Detection of Stockouts>

By comparing current inventory of each product with the reorder point standard, products below the reorder line are automatically detected. If you ask, "Is there inventory to reorder now?" it will list items in order of stockout risk and even indicate "how many more units until inventory runs out." Products that need to be ordered are clear at a glance, and you can proceed directly to the ordering process.

<Early Detection of Aging Inventory>

Extract aging inventory that has not been shipped for a certain period and visualize it by quantity and valuation. By grasping "inventory sleeping in the warehouse and not yet converted to cash" on a monetary basis in real-time and linking it to sales, you can generate funds for future procurement.
