Every location keeps its own count, orders reserve their units the moment they are placed, and every change lands in a history with a name beside it. Inventory management is on every plan, from £25 a month.
Stock by location
On hand, reserved and available
Automatic stock reservation
Held when ordered, released if cancelled
Transfers between locations
Ship from one, receive in full or in part
Add a warehouse, a showroom or a pop-up as a location. Each keeps its own on hand, committed, available and unavailable figures.
Filter by location, search by name, SKU or barcode, and see on hand, committed and available side by side. Low stock is one click.
Ship a transfer and stock leaves the origin. Receive it in full or in part and it lands at the destination, with every step recorded.
Hold units as damaged, in quality control or as safety stock. They stay counted as on hand but never show as available.
Add as many as you run, on every plan. No location limit exists in the product.
Every change logged by name
Reason, date, previous and new figures
Add a quantity or set an exact count, pick a reason, and the change joins the movement history with your name on it.
Seven of them: correction, count, received, return restock, damaged, theft or loss, promotion or donation. A drop in stock comes with its explanation.
Add 50 after a delivery or set 20 after a count, for one item at one location or many at once in the bulk dialog.
Orders, returns and transfers write to the same history as your adjustments, each with its date and the previous and new figures.
When a return is received, restock the units to sell again, send them to unavailable while you check them, or write them off.
Six things the count does on its own.
An order reserves its units in the same moment it is created, so two customers cannot buy the last chair.
Cancel the order and the units go straight back to available. Nobody edits a number.
Once available reaches zero, the add to cart button reads Out of Stock and no basket can take more than is left. Items you allow on backorder keep selling.
A return received as restock goes back on sale. One received as quarantine waits in unavailable. A write-off is recorded and sells nothing.
Ship at one end, receive at the other, with part deliveries allowed and every step in the history.
eBay and Amazon listings are refreshed from your stock on a schedule once their plugins are installed.
A CSV with its columns matched to Orbit’s, and a preview before anything changes.
The minimum
Rows are matched on SKU and location and replace the on-hand figure. Anything not in the file stays as it is.
From Shopify
Orbit knows the column names in Shopify’s inventory export and suggests the matches.
Safety
You see sample rows and the mapped columns before anything changes, and a counter in the corner tracks the rows as they update.
States, reasons, transfer stages and formats, named the way the dashboard names them.
Import
Upload, preview, import. The indicator in the corner keeps counting while you carry on.
Stock states
Available is on hand minus committed minus unavailable, and it is the figure your shop sells from.
Adjustment reasons
Choose one each time you add or set a count, and it is written into that movement’s note.
Transfers
Stock leaves the origin when you ship and reaches the destination as you receive it.
Export
Everything, the page you are on, your filtered results or only the rows you ticked.
Scheduled feeds
The Import/Export plugin fetches a stock file from a URL, FTP or SFTP, in four formats, and can run it on a schedule.
Marketplaces
Both plugins have a free tier, with paid plans for bigger catalogues. They push stock and prices to the marketplace on a schedule, and marketplace orders arrive in your order list.

Enterprise adds Operations: reorder points and safety stock per item and location, purchase orders (which feed Incoming), bins, pick lists, cycle counts and batch packing. Prices exclude VAT.
10 or fewer
Low stock at a glance
The Low stock filter shows everything with 10 or fewer available, on every plan. Reorder points per item and location come with Enterprise.
Incoming means on order
It counts purchase orders
Incoming shows units on open purchase orders, which come with Enterprise, and stock moving between your own locations shows on its transfer.
Files and feeds
Two ways to bring stock in
Upload a file with the built-in import, or run automatic feeds from a supplier or a warehouse system through the Import/Export plugin or the API.
Locations, the difference between committed and incoming, and what happens to returns.
Orders
Every order reserves its units on the way in and releases them if it is cancelled.
See order managementShipping
Fulfilling an order takes its units off the shelf count, and its label is bought from the same order.
