Inventory tracking that holds up at the variant level.

Variant- and location-level by default

Inventory in Vendee Pro is tracked per variant per location. That sounds obvious until you see what most tools do, which is roll everything up to the product level and call it a day. The difference shows up the first time you run out of size 8 in the popular hat color while the warehouse still has cases of size 11. With variant-level tracking, your low-stock list is accurate, your reorder math is accurate, and your transfers move the right SKUs to the right places.

Each inventory row carries the on-hand quantity, the on-order quantity (committed against open POs), the cost basis, the last counted date, and a reorder rule when one is configured. Click any row to see its full movement history: receipts, sales, adjustments, and transfers, in one timeline.

Stock adjustments with audit history

Manual adjustments are a fact of retail. Damages happen. Theft happens. Hand-counts disagree with the system, and sometimes the system is right and sometimes the count is. Vendee Pro logs every adjustment with the reason, the user, the timestamp, and the before/after quantity. There is no silent edit. If the count moved, it moved on the record, and you can pull up the why.

Adjustment types include damaged, lost, returned, correction, count (stocktake), transfer in, transfer out, sold, received, and receive-reversal (written automatically when a PO receipt is undone). A free-text reason field captures the why. Adjustments roll into the same audit log as receipts, sales, and transfers, so a single SKU’s history is one timeline.

Stock transfers between locations

Transferring stock between locations is a normal flow, not an admin task. Create a transfer, ship it (which decrements the source location), receive it at the destination (which increments). Partial receipts are supported, with the un-received portion staying open until it’s closed. Cancel a transfer cleanly if it never happened, and the system reverses the adjustments on both sides.

Stocktakes that finish

Most stocktakes start with energy and die in the middle. Vendee Pro supports staged stocktakes where you create the count, submit counts as you go (by section, by category, by aisle), and apply the result when you’re done. Counts are reconciled against system-of-record quantities, the variance is shown line by line, and the apply step generates the adjustments to bring inventory in line. The stocktake document itself is preserved for audit.

Demand forecasts

Demand forecasts in Vendee Pro run a set of algorithms per SKU (moving average, weighted moving average, linear trend, and seasonal where enough history exists), back-test each one against recent actual sales using MAPE, and pick the winner. A confidence score and days-of-stock-remaining number ride along with each forecast. The chosen method and confidence are visible on the forecast record so you can audit the math.

Live with your point of sale

Inventory in Vendee Pro stays in step with your connected POS. Sales pull every hour so sell-through reports reflect what rang through today. Inventory changes on Shopify trigger real-time webhooks (`inventory_levels/update`) so on-hand counts track the store. When you receive a PO, run a stocktake, or adjust inventory in Vendee Pro, the change propagates out to the connected system in seconds. Your buyer’s view, your floor’s view, and your reports all see the same numbers.
