Inventory management

Inventory management is the daily work of knowing what you have, where it sits and when to buy more. This tag is for multichannel sellers who run their own warehouse and sell the same stock on Shopify, Amazon, eBay and Etsy. One count has to hold up on every channel, or you oversell. Here you will find guides on stock control basics, reorder points and safety stock. Other posts cover cycle counts, barcode scanning, cloud tools and how to pick software as you grow. For a full view of the options, start with our guide to choosing an inventory management system. To see how stock lives in real bins on a map of your own warehouse, read about stock control software in Fiftify. If you sell on several channels, the multichannel inventory guide shows how to keep one number for all of them.
