Product Details

1. Name: Enter the name of your product. This is how it will appear in your inventory and when it's listed for sale.

2. Brand: Specify the brand of your product. This helps customers recognize and associate your product with a particular brand.

3. Collections: Collections are a powerful organizational tool within our inventory management system. They allow you to group products together based on shared attributes, such as product type, brand, season, or any other criteria relevant to your business.

4. Product type: Product type has two sub categories which are Products and Service.

• Product: This category refers to physical items or goods that your business sells. These can include a wide range of products such as electronics, clothing, home goods, health and beauty products, sporting equipment, books, and more.

• Service: This category encompasses the services offered by your business. Unlike products, services are intangible offerings that provide value to customers through skill, expertise, or labor. Examples of services include consulting, repair and maintenance, professional services, event planning, health and wellness services, and creative services.

2. Cost Price: The "Cost Price" enables you to input the cost at which your products or services are acquired or produced.

3. Stock Quantity: The "Stock Quantity" allows you to input the current quantity of a specific product or item available in your physical inventory.

4. Low Stock at: The "Low Stock Alert" enables you to set a threshold for when you want to receive notifications indicating that a product's stock quantity has fallen below a certain level. This feature is essential for proactive inventory management, allowing you to prevent stock outs and ensure product availability. Enter the desired low stock threshold to receive timely alerts and take necessary actions to replenish inventory levels and meet customer demand effectively.

5. Product unit: The "Product Unit" Dropdown lets you pick how you measure your product, like by Box, Packs etc. It's important because it tells the system how much of the product is being sold or stored. Picking the right unit keeps things consistent and makes sure your inventory and sales records are accurate. Choose the unit that makes the most sense for your product to make managing your inventory easier and to communicate clearly with customers and suppliers.
