CARY, N.C., May, 2026 – InstantGMP™, a provider of cloud-based software for GMP and FDA-regulated manufacturing, today announced an expanded inventory location hierarchy within InstantGMP™ INV, its inventory management software designed for pharmaceutical, supplement, biotech, and related manufacturers.

 

The update increases inventory location tracking from two to five levels, allowing manufacturers to document precisely exactly where materials, intermediates, and finished goods are stored within their facilities.

 

Previously, users could select two inventory location levels. With this latest enhancement, InstantGMP™ INV now supports the following five-level structure:

 

Facility → Room → Bin → Sub Bin → Position

 

This added depth gives manufacturers finer-grained control over inventory organization, helping teams manage increasingly complex storage environments such as cold storage rooms, quarantine zones, production suites, dispensing areas, satellite facilities, and multi-room operations.

 

“Inventory control is not just about knowing what materials are on hand. It is about knowing exactly where those materials are, what status they are in, and how they move through the operation,” said Dr. Richard Soltero, President of InstantGMP. “By expanding inventory location tracking to five levels, we are giving manufacturers a practical way to improve visibility, reduce workarounds, and support stronger GMP documentation as their operations grow.”

 

The expanded location hierarchy is especially valuable for organizations with complex material handling needs, including 503B compounding pharmacies, biotech pilot plants, contract manufacturers, supplement manufacturers, and pharmaceutical production facilities. As these operations scale, teams often need to separate materials by facility, room, storage area, container, shelf position, or other controlled spaces. InstantGMP™ INV now allows those details to be reflected directly in the software rather than tracked through outside spreadsheets, naming conventions, or manual notes.

 

The update also supports the broader industry push toward stronger real-time material traceability. With regulations and expectations such as the Drug Supply Chain Security Act’s electronic track-and-trace mandate shaping the conversation around product movement and documentation, manufacturers need systems that can support accurate, accessible, and inspection-ready inventory records.

 

InstantGMP™ INV already enables real-time tracking of inventory levels and movement for raw materials, intermediates, and finished goods, while helping manufacturers maintain traceability and documentation of inventory transactions. The new five-level location structure builds on those capabilities by making it easier to pinpoint inventory across more detailed operational environments.

 

For growing manufacturers, the feature can help simplify day-to-day inventory management by reducing confusion, supporting faster material retrieval, and improving accountability across departments. Whether a team is managing controlled rooms, segregated inventory, cold-chain materials, or multiple storage zones, the expanded hierarchy creates a clearer map of where materials are located within the operation.

 

“This enhancement was designed around the real ways GMP manufacturers work,” added Angelo Nardone, Chief Technology Officer. “As facilities become more sophisticated, inventory systems need to keep up. This update helps teams stay organized without sacrificing compliance, traceability, or ease of use.”

 

InstantGMP™ INV is part of InstantGMP’s suite of software solutions built to help both regulated manufacturers manage production, inventory, quality, documentation, and compliance processes more efficiently. The software is designed with the needs of small- to mid-sized manufacturers in mind, offering cloud-based tools that support GMP operations without unnecessary complexity.
