Shelf positions

Record the quantity of each product on every shelf, for the products you choose. The Shelves page shows what each shelf holds, aisle by aisle.

Free plan with 2 users, 100 products and 1 location. No credit card, no time limit.

Why it matters

  • Faster picking

    Whoever picks the goods finds the shelf and the quantity available straight away.

  • Shelves that match stock

    A movement that takes more from a shelf than it holds is blocked.

  • Quantity and value unchanged

    Moving units between shelves changes no quantity, value or report.

How it works

Stock-outs, transfers and deliveries state which shelves the goods leave and land on. Shelves never change the quantity or value of your stock.

  1. Create your shelves

    Step 1 of 4

    Create your shelves

    Paste shelf codes from a spreadsheet, one per line. Codes like A-01-1 are grouped by aisle.

    • Codes in the format you choose
    • Shelves grouped by aisle
    • See how many shelves are in use
  2. Choose the products to track

    Step 2 of 4

    Choose the products to track

    Switch on shelf positions only where you need them. Other products stay tracked by location.

    • Each shelf shows products, units and value
    • Search shelves or products, filter by supplier
    • Hide empty shelves
  3. Put away existing stock

    Step 3 of 4

    Put away existing stock

    Current stock starts as unassigned. Move it to its shelves once, and each shelf's quantity is up to date.

    • See unassigned units by location
    • Move from the shelf list or the product page
    • Move units between shelves
  4. Pick and receive by shelf

    Step 4 of 4

    Pick and receive by shelf

    Stock-outs, transfers and deliveries ask for the shelf the goods leave or land on. Stock-outs suggest the fullest shelf first.

    • Choose shelves for phone stock-outs
    • Every movement lists the shelves used
    • Quantities per shelf through the API

Which plans include shelf positions?

Every paid plan. On the Free plan, stock is tracked by location.

Do I have to track every product by shelf?

No. Shelf positions are switched on product by product, and the others work as before.

What happens to the stock I already hold?

It starts as unassigned in its location. Put it away from the product page, with one move per shelf.

Do shelves change the value of my stock?

No. Shelves only record where the goods are. Quantities, values and reports stay the same.
