See the bigger picture with Square’s real-time inventory reports
An inventory report provides real-time information about your business’s stock levels. It helps you understand what’s selling and what’s not, when stock levels are running low, when you need to reorder, and which product brands are the most successful. This information can reduce overstocking and lets you know when stock has run out.
Use inventory reports to transform your retail business operations
Real-time inventory tracking
Square for Retail gives you real-time reports on stock levels, reducing the risk of running out of popular items. Review and confirm cycle or stocktakes your employees have completed, right from your iPhone or iPad, which prevents inventory discrepancies and helps you understand the health of the business.
Product performance analysis
Use our smart stock forecast feature to track how fast items are selling, what date they’re likely to run out, and how many units are in transit to the store. Get insights on when to reorder, send a marketing campaign for low performing Inventory and check stock levels for each item in multiple locations even when you’re not on site.
Stock adjustment reporting
Easily view all stock movements across different vendors, stores, or employees, all from one place. Use our reporting recommendations to fix historical stock errors in bulk, for items that may be missing purchasing costs or suppliers, so you always have accurate and reliable data insights.
