Stockpile provides an easy to use, free inventory management system for small businesses. Small is a relative term and can mean different things to different people in different industries. As you grow and take on more responsibilities, Stockpile can grow with you. At some point, you can't do it all yourself. Stockpile helps by allowing you to create as many users as you need and provides several roles that allow you to delegate reponsibilities to the right people. The 3 roles are:
1. Basic User - You can authorize a basic user to add and remove stock on a per location basis. This is the role you would choose for a typical employee who just needs to perform inventory management functions.
2. Manager - Managers can act across all locations and can create basic users as well. They can also see reports and update company wide settings. A second in command or a trusted leader at another location would be good candidates for this role that performs inventory management but also helps to run operations (reporting, new users, terminations, etc).
3. Reporting Only - Reporting users have read-only access to all of your items, transactions and reports. They don't enter data and can't change company settings. This role is useful for accounting and marketing users. They aren't part of the day-to-day operations but need to analyze the data to inform decisions. This is for the person who doesn't necessarily perform inventory management tasks but does need to keep track of what's going on.
Whether you have 1 locatoin or 10 or 5 employees or 50, Stockpile can help you centralize your data and distribute your workload.
