Getting to Know Stockpile: Adding Users to your Inventory System

online inventory system for small business

As a small business owner, you may be used to doing a whole lot by yourself, including updating your inventory system. When you are wearing a lot of hats,  tracking your inventory online with Stockpile will certainly make your life easier. But what if you have some help already? Do you have a trusted employee working with you or perhaps at another location?  With Stockpile, you can delegate inventory management to other employees. You can add as many as you need and control their access by location and role.

To get started, choose Users from the Settings menu:

The Manage Users screen will look at like the screens for Areas and Manufacturers. You perform all of same functions: add, edit and deactivate/reactivate. Additionally you can use this screen to reset passwords:

To add a user, click New User and start by filling out their name and email address. Just like you did, they will receive an activation email at the address that you specify. This address will also be their username.

From here you can delegate completely by changing the Company Administrator field to 'Yes'. If you do, this employee can manage all settings and inventory at all of your locations.  By leaving this field set to 'No', this employee can only log inventory transactions. Further, you can authorize them for any number of your locations:

Lastly, set their initial password and click 'Add'.  Whether you have 1 employee or 10, Stockpile gives you control!
