Testimonials

Don't take our word for it

Local Line is trusted by thousands of farmers and food hubs around the world. See what they have to say about Local Line's 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"

Frequently Asked Questions about Inventory Management for Farms

What is inventory tracking?
Inventory tracking is the process of monitoring the quantities of products being sold. It involves tracking stock levels, orders, connected price lists, and deliveries to ensure sufficient inventory to meet customer demand while minimizing excess stock and costs. In the context of farm ecommerce, this means specifically monitoring the quantities and statuses of farm products available for sale online, including stock levels, online orders, shipments, and returns. This specialized tracking is essential for maintaining accurate product availability and avoiding overselling or stockouts.
What is farm inventory management?
Farm inventory management generally refers to the practice of managing and controlling the quantities, types, and locations of farm-related inventories. For online farm businesses, this management focuses on managing the online listings and availability of farm products such as harvested crops, meat, dairy, and value-added products. Effective management ensures that online listings accurately reflect real-time availability, prices, and product information, which is crucial for meeting customer expectations and optimizing online sales.Read more about how to improve farm inventory and management with Local Line.
