Hello Inventoro Community,

We're thrilled to share some significant news with you that's been in the works for several development cycles.

As part of our ongoing commitment to enhance user experience, we have now enabled a feature that allows unlimited users across your organization. You can now extend Inventoro's accessibility to teams from marketing, sales, logistics, finance, and beyond.

Starting today, not only can you expand your user base, but you can also assign specific roles and permissions throughout the Inventoro platform.

To do this, when adding a new user, simply hit the 'Invite' button, which will bring up a permissions panel.

The panel offers two primary role options:

• Administrator: An unrestricted role with full access.
• User: A flexible role where you can customize permissions and restrictions.

What kind of customizations can you make?

Feature Access 

You can tailor access to different sections within Inventoro based on the individual's role. For instance, a team member handling Replenishment can be restricted to only that section. Likewise, a Sales colleague might only require access to the Forecast feature.

Suppliers

This is particularly useful if your purchasing department is divided by suppliers. You can now assign specific suppliers to each user.

Warehouse Visibility 

You can select which warehouses are visible to specific users. For instance, a colleague responsible for the New York warehouse will only see details pertinent to that location.

Sales Categories 

If you manage a team of sales representatives, you can customize their view to only include their specific sales categories.

Remember, the ability to customize roles and permissions is not restricted to the initial invitation. You can also adjust these settings later via the Users list. Simply click on the Permissions button to revisit the permissions panel.

This exciting new update brings a higher level of personalization, streamlining the user experience for all team members. We hope you find this new feature helpful in managing your operations more efficiently with Inventoro.

Thank you for your continued support!

Hello Inventoro users, We're excited to share a small update that's set to make a big difference.

Navigate the vital aspects of your purchase order proposals swiftly with our new filtering system.

You can even use these filters to quickly isolate a single SKU, supplier, and so on, right down to the specific row level.

Our quick filters are intended to streamline your purchasing process, saving you valuable time and enhancing productivity 🙂

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Dear Inventoro users,

We are pleased to announce a significant update to our app's settings. In order to enhance user experience and create a more streamlined interface, we have consolidated all settings into a single, comprehensive menu.

Located conveniently in the top right corner of the app, this new menu brings together various settings options, providing you with easy access and improved navigation. To visualize this change, please refer to the attached GIF below.

As always, your feedback is highly valuable to us. We invite you to share your thoughts and impressions on this update, enabling us to further refine our app according to your needs.

One of the primary motivations behind this change is to optimize the app's layout and make room for exciting new features on the horizon.

We hope you enjoy the enhanced user experience with our consolidated settings menu. Thank you for your continued support.

Have a nice day. ✌ 

Hello Inventoro Users,

We've heard your feedback and we're excited to introduce a feature that's been highly requested. It's a straightforward concept, yet intricate in its functionality: minimum order values.

We understand that when procuring goods from your suppliers, you may often encounter a minimum order value. For instance, your order must total at least $2000.

This threshold can be established within the Supplier Settings, as demonstrated in the gif below.

So, how does Inventoro utilize these set limits?

Every day, Inventoro  calculates all suggested purchase orders, looking as far ahead as 24 months, for every SKU and supplier.

When a Minimum Order value is specified for a given supplier, and the current recommendations fall short of this limit, Inventoro springs into action. It scans future purchase suggestions, and recommends moving some of these to the present to meet the minimum value. 

Further, our algorithm employs a secondary strategy - if the minimum order value is not achieved by accelerating future purchase suggestions, Inventoro will attempt to increase the current quantity instead.

This new feature provides you with another layer of control and precision when ordering, and we can't wait to hear your feedback.

Dear Customers,

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest big feature, merging multiple data sources!

Merge connections is designed to connect different data sources to your Inventoro account. For example, you can add a Shopify store (e-commerce platform) and then combine it with your CIN7 account (IMS). You can just take sales history from the online shop and enhance this data with inventory attributes from IMS like on-hand inventory, purchase orders in transit, list of suppliers, etc.

Or you can have as many data sources as you want and aggregate them into one single company-level view. As you can see in the image below. 

The main idea behind this feature is that you can merge data from multiple sources.

#1 Create a new merge

If you have more than one connection you will find this feature in the User profile > API Settings. You will start the process by clicking on the blue button called Merge.

#2 Choose a data connection for merging

Once you have several data connections you can choose which one you want to add to merge by selecting the one and clicking Add to merge.

#3 Choosing the right logic for data merging

You can edit the name for every connection to distinguish which one is which. You have to choose one primary data source which will be the main source for a list of products etc. And the rest of the connection will be merged using this main/primary data source.

You can enable or disable the following attributes for every single data source.

STOCK

By this, you’ll allow Inventoro to take on hand inventory from this data connection.

SALES

Here you can give Inventoro instructions to take the whole sales history. For example, if you are combining data from an e-commerce platform you can choose that only sales transactions will be handled from this connection.

PRODUCTS

You can enable/disable product merging. 

FUTURE DELIVERY

Permission to take purchase orders in transit. 

You can also create a name for this new merge level. You have to choose which one of your warehouse locations is the central warehouse.

You can easily choose the main currency.

And then we have two very important choices. 

Only aggregated data

You can choose if you want to create just a centralized level. So, you can’t see sales forecasts per different data sources in this variation. You will see just aggregated level for example for the whole company without any drill down to original data.

Order from merged warehouse

By this choice, you can let Inventoro propose automatically purchase order recommendations for this new virtual warehouse. 

By leaving both of the boxes untagged you will create the merged warehouse, but the original data sources will still be there and the new warehouse will not be used for replenishment. 

If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated support team via the chat in the app.

Have a great day!

Hi Inventoro users,

we have some news! You ask, we deliver! Many of you requested the possibility to filter purchase order recommendations for 24 months or with the custom filter.

You can find this at the bottom of the Time filter in the Replenishment. See the image below.

You can easily pick a date from and date till. Inventoro automatically filters just PO recommendations withing this time interval.

Click here to try this feature immediately!

Have a great day!

At the beginning of the new week, we have some minor improvements in our product. 

Data integration is a challenging task, you know. It’s a communication machine to machine and literally, this can be zillions of small jobs. So we’ve prepared a status of your data integration, see the image below. 

Here you can find a short description of all statuses:

Examples of different statuses.

The second improvement is an option to create your own name for the data integration.

For example here you can see how to rename the connection after click on the edit button.

In the case you have many different connections, for example, 6 Shopify stores for 6 different countries and several connections with your logistics partners (fulfillment, 3PL) you can create your own names to every single connection to have everything under control.

Have a nice week!

Tomas
