“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Your NetSuite locations supply different Shopify stores, but you can’t easily track which inventory goes where or prevent oversells when locations have restricted availability. This creates inventory allocation problems and customer disappointment when orders can’t be fulfilled from the expected location.
You need comprehensive multi-location inventory monitoring that tracks availability by store and location combinations in real-time.
Build location-specific inventory tracking using Coefficient
Coefficient provides comprehensive multi-location inventory monitoring that NetSuite’s standard location reporting cannot deliver for complex e-commerce scenarios. NetSuite’s native inventory reports don’t easily show location-specific availability across multiple external sales channels.
How to make it work
Step 1. Create location-based inventory dashboards with Records & Lists imports.
Pull NetSuite inventory data with location, subsidiary, and item availability details. Apply filters to monitor specific location and item combinations that supply different Shopify stores, tracking quantity changes and availability status across locations. This gives you real-time visibility into which locations can fulfill which store orders.
Step 2. Set up automated daily monitoring for inventory movements.
Configure daily refreshes to identify inventory movements that should trigger updates to specific Shopify store configurations. Track when inventory moves between locations or when availability changes affect specific store allocations.
Step 3. Use SuiteQL queries to build location allocation reports.
Create custom reports showing inventory allocation across locations, filtering by item categories, location types, and availability dates. Monitor location-specific inventory rules, such as items available only to certain subsidiaries or locations with restricted sales channels.
Step 4. Monitor location-specific availability rules and restrictions.
Use advanced filtering capabilities to track location-specific inventory rules and ensure Shopify store configurations match NetSuite location restrictions. This prevents situations where stores show items as available but the supplying location can’t actually fulfill the order.
Optimize inventory across all your stores
Location-specific inventory monitoring prevents oversells and optimizes stock distribution across multiple Shopify stores. Start tracking your multi-location inventory today to eliminate fulfillment conflicts and improve customer satisfaction.
