In Q1 2025, we’ll be launching the Inventory Buffer feature, designed to give merchants more control over inventory calculations. With Inventory Buffer, merchants can set an integer buffer threshold that adjusts inventory calculations across their store. This feature helps prevent overselling by allowing merchants to designate a buffer level that effectively marks products as out of stock once they hit a specified quantity threshold.

What Is Inventory Buffer?

The Inventory Buffer feature lets merchants define a buffer number that affects all inventory-based calculations, such as inventory quantity and sold-out status. By setting a buffer value, merchants can ensure that products with low stock levels are treated as out of stock sooner, adding an extra layer of inventory control.

• Example: If a merchant sets the Inventory Buffer to 5, then any product with an inventory quantity of 5 or below will be considered out of stock. This helps avoid potential stock shortages by signaling low-quantity products before they are entirely sold out.

How Merchants Can Use Inventory Buffer:

• Enhanced Stock Control: By setting a buffer level, merchants can account for safety stock, ensuring that products are marked as out of stock at a specific threshold.
• Prevent Overselling: Inventory Buffer allows merchants to manage low-stock items proactively, reducing the risk of overselling and enhancing customer experience by maintaining accurate inventory levels.
• Flexible Inventory Management: Merchants can set a buffer number that best suits their inventory needs, whether it’s a small buffer for high-demand items or a larger buffer for limited stock products.

Benefits for Merchants:

• Improved Inventory Accuracy: By setting a buffer threshold, merchants can ensure their store reflects stock levels more conservatively, leading to more accurate inventory reporting.
• Reduced Stock Shortages: Inventory Buffer helps merchants prevent last-minute stock-outs, allowing time to restock or manage customer expectations on availability.
• Customized Inventory Thresholds: Merchants have the flexibility to adjust the buffer value as needed, tailoring the feature to match inventory turnover and sales frequency.

Looking Ahead:

The Inventory Buffer feature is set to launch in Q1 2025 and will be a valuable addition to Dynasort’s inventory management toolkit. By allowing merchants to implement buffer levels in inventory calculations, Dynasort continues to empower merchants with precise, customizable tools to optimize stock control and ensure a smooth customer experience.
