Hello everyone. Shane Merem here with a long overdue BLOG post.

Website Forge E-commerce websites have always provided excellent custom options and product view controls.

Recently we added a new level of product option. We call it an "Inventory Grid".

Here is a short video that gives a very brief overview. The KEY BENEFIT to this upgrade is to allow individual SKU or product number inventory tracking to custom options.

Example:

You sell a pair of Levi 404 jeans in 10 sizes and 3 colors. Thats 30 different individual SKU's (product numbers) you might sell from one product listed on your web site.

When a customer purchase a "Size Waist 32" in "White Washed" color. That SPECIFIC item SKU is identified and your inventory QOH (Quantity on Hand) will be reduced by 1.

This is true for any of the color/size combinations.

I'll give this post a 5-star. We've got real-time inventory on http://www.gandlclothing.com for all of our gridded items. Take a look if you want to see this feature in action.

What an asset!!! I have been using this grid for weeks now. Thank you for creating it. One minor problem I have is I have two websites that use the same inventory. Currently I make manual adjustments from one site to the other. It would be wonderful if sales in either site would adjust the gross inventory. Also not everything is shared inventory. I guess the total inventory would have to be parked separately and then bot sites could feed into it.
