Stock and inventory
Always know what you have and where it is
Octabiz keeps a live count of every item in every shop, warehouse and delivery van. You stop overselling and stop reordering what is already on the shelf.
The busy parts, handled
- Before: Walking the shelves to count what is left. With Octabiz: One list of what is in each shop, warehouse and van.
- Before: Best sellers run out before anyone notices. With Octabiz: A nudge when an item reaches its reorder point.
- Before: Nobody knows who changed a count. With Octabiz: Every move recorded with who did it and when.

Questions about inventory
Can I upload my items from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Upload the whole list at once, then change prices and counts in bulk when you need to.
Do the shop and the website share stock?
Yes. Sell an item in one place and it comes off the count everywhere else.
Can I see who changed a count?
Yes. Every move is recorded with the person, the time and the location.
