  • Products, variations, departments, categories, brands, and suppliers
  • Cost, retail, MSRP, MAP, margin, tax, and customer pricing
  • Quantity, movement, sales history, and reorder settings
  • Images, descriptions, web categories, and catalog information

  • Sales and special-order demand
  • Minimum and maximum inventory levels
  • Dynamic Min/Max and Days of Supply
  • Supplier-specific order export and delivery formats

Suppliers and receiving

Carry the order through arrival and onto the shelf.

  • Custom barcode labels and shelf tags

Multi-store inventory

Add products and change prices from store to store.

Reuse the product work already done at one location. Review what is new, what will change, and which stores should receive it before applying an update.

Drag and dropDrag a product or selected items between connected store inventory windows. Create missing products and choose which fields to update on existing items.
Send to Store NowSelect one or more locations from Inventory Actions. Compare items, choose create/update or skip, then confirm an immediate send.
Stage an update packageAdd new products and cost or retail changes to a named Store Relay package. Each receiving store reviews and processes it when ready, with no file preparation.
Choose the fieldsSend cost, retail, or both. Existing-item comparisons also let you choose supported details such as descriptions, brand, and min/max settings.

Shared product information, local stock and settings. New products start with zero stock and use the receiving department’s tax settings. Existing quantities, sales history, and local retail locks stay with the destination store. Updating cost without retail preserves the selling price and recalculates margin and markup.

Connected department and supplier structure stays synchronized automatically; each store retains its local settings after the initial copy. Matching departments, suppliers, and product groups are checked before item changes are applied.
