We don’t know about you, but we here at SAGE love a good time-saving hack. Anything to make those boring, monotonous, day-to-day tasks a breeze to check off the list so you can move on to your bigger projects. Luckily, the SAGE Inventory Management simplifies the time-consuming task of inventory!
So, first things first: what is Inventory Management?
Inventory Management is a super handy feature available for your Company Stores (available for Premium and Premium Plus stores). By using this feature, you and your customers can see how much of an item you have on hand, plus a plethora of handy behind-the-scenes tools you can use to make things a little easier. Let’s take a look at how!
Once you turn on Inventory Management (you can learn how to here), you’ve got all your products uploaded (PS: you can do this manually with each product or bulk update via an Excel Spreadsheet you upload to SAGEmember.com); it’s time to let the time-saving begin!
Because you control everything about your inventory, you have the power to do what you want with it and how you want to do it. You can be as hands-on or as set-it-and-forget-it as you’d like.
Leave behind those tedious daily, weekly, or monthly physical counts! See how much you have on hand at a glance for each product and its attributes like size and color. Check the inventory history to see what’s selling and what isn’t – or pull it for your customer so they can see how their Store is doing. With just a click of a button, you can turn on low stock alerts, allowing you to get an alert letting you know when something is getting low on stock (you set that threshold, too) so you can quickly place a reorder.
If you do happen to miss a restock on something, that’s no worry either. You have the option to hide the product if it ever does go out of stock, and, once you’ve received your order and updated the stock, it’ll be ready for your customer to order from their Store again. Or, if you know you can reorder something pretty quickly, you can allow your customer to place a backorder. With this feature, you can mix and match to have both in-stock products and products you might have to place a special order for – but it’ll give your customers more options to browse from in your Store. And we didn’t leave out websites either. Those with Professional and Professional Plus websites can use Inventory Management, too!
