Coefficient enables real-time QuickBooks inventory tracking in Google Sheets through automated data sync without any programming knowledge required. Unlike QuickBooks’ native inventory reports which require manual generation, Coefficient provides continuous inventory visibility with hourly updates and custom analytics.
Here’s how to transform Google Sheets into a powerful inventory management dashboard with real-time visibility and automated alerts.
Create continuous inventory monitoring with automated alerts using Coefficient
QuickBooks’ standard inventory reporting lacks real-time visibility and advanced analytics capabilities. Coefficient’s automated sync captures inventory changes throughout the day while enabling custom calculations and visual indicators that aren’t available in standard QuickBooks reports.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import comprehensive inventory data.
Install Coefficient and authenticate your QuickBooks connection. Use “From Objects & Fields” import method and select “Item” object to access all inventory data. Choose relevant fields like Item Name, Quantity on Hand, Reorder Point, Cost, and Sales Price.
Step 2. Configure real-time automation.
Set hourly refresh schedule for near real-time inventory updates that capture changes throughout the day. Configure filters for specific item categories or locations, and enable automatic refresh buttons for immediate manual updates when needed.
Step 3. Build advanced inventory analytics.
Create calculated columns for inventory turnover rates using formulas like =Cost of Goods Sold/Average Inventory. Set up conditional formatting for low stock alerts that highlight items falling below reorder points with visual indicators.
Step 4. Set up monitoring and alerts.
Build reorder point monitoring with visual indicators and automated notifications when items fall below reorder points. Track inventory value changes and margin calculations, and consolidate inventory data across multiple QuickBooks locations if applicable.
