Packages & Variants

Farmers who stopped
worrying about inventory management.

★★★★★

The great thing about Local Line is I'm still able to list products by the piece or, for lettuce as an example, by the head. The inventory and pricing for that product are based on the unit, not by weight. I have the flexibility to select which option works best for each product. It's a HUGE lifesaver.

Local Line is a game changer for small-medium Market Gardens. It opens up a bigger customer base at a very affordable cost. Local Line pays for itself and then some every month.

Better inventory management and a support tool our bookkeeper loves too. We used to track everything in spreadsheets and reconcile manually. Now it just happens. I don't think about it anymore.

What is farm inventory management?

Farm inventory management is the practice of tracking the quantities, types, and availability of farm products available for sale. For online farm businesses, this means keeping your listings accurate in real time - so customers only see what you actually have, and you never accidentally oversell.

How does Local Line track inventory by weight or unit?

Local Line gives you complete control over how you track each product. You can track by weight (pounds or kilograms), by unit (bunches, jars, heads), or both. You can also choose to sell in whichever format suits each product - total flexibility for everything from greens to meat to eggs.

Can I sell variable-weight items like meat or produce?

Yes. Local Line supports variable-weight products. Customers place orders in advance, and once you finalize the actual weight, they pay the updated total using a credit card or a custom payment option. No overcharging, no awkward refunds.

Does Local Line support barcode scanning?

Yes. Local Line supports barcode scanning via mobile device, tablet, or any wired or wireless scanner. You can print barcodes and scan sheets directly from your Local Line account, including weight-based barcodes for meat, poultry, and produce sold by weight. Barcode scanning increases checkout speed by 43% on average. Available on Premium & Ultimate plans; add-on available on Core.

What happens when my inventory runs low?

You receive real-time restock notifications the moment inventory hits your threshold. When you top up your stock, the update is automatically applied across all your active price lists - saving time and preventing overselling.

Does Local Line support barcode scanning?

Yes. With barcode scanning, you can quickly add incoming inventory without manually updating each item. Scan barcodes to update your product table with stock information at the product or package level - eliminating manual entry and reducing human error.

Can I manage inventory for multiple product variants?

Yes. Local Line lets you track separate inventory for different product variants - sizes, packaging types, or flavors. This is especially useful for farms selling pre-packaged goods, meat cuts, or farm-branded merchandise where each size needs its own stock count.

Can I manage inventory for CSA boxes and bundles?

Yes. Using Local Line's Box Builder, you can create boxes from existing products and track inventory at both the box level and the individual item level inside. Perfect for CSA programs, meat share subscriptions, and gift boxes.

Do I need separate software to manage my farm's inventory?

No. Local Line includes inventory management, e-commerce, order fulfillment, and customer communication all in one platform. There is no need for separate tools or manual spreadsheet reconciliation.
