When you first set up a team in BoxHero, one location is created by default. You can easily add more locations to manage inventory across multiple places.
When storing the same item in different places
Example: Main warehouse, Floor 3 / Shelf B, retail store
When tracking the same item by status or condition
Example: Ready for sale, defective, refurbished
If you only have one storage location, using the Attributes feature might be a simpler option. You can add a "Location" attribute to track where each item is stored.
To add a new location, go to Data Center > Location.
Note that adding locations is only available on the Business Plan, which includes up to 3 locations. If you need more locations, you can adjust your plan by going to Settings > Billing.
You can see the total quantity of each item, as well as how many are stored in each location.
You can use the Group by filter to organize items by location or other attributes. You can also sort them alphabetically or by stock quantity, either from largest to smallest or vice versa.
When performing any of these inventory transactions, you'll need to select a location.
You can transfer items from one location to another and manage your across multiple sites.
Location-specific user access permissions are not yet available. Currently, all team members can view all locations within a team. If you need to restrict access to certain locations, we recommend creating separate teams for each location.
Yes! You can receive low stock alerts for specific locations, and each member can set their own notification settings. Please navigate to Other Features > Low Stock Alert.
A "team" is virtual workspace in BoxHero where all inventory items are managed collectively. A "location" is a specific place within a team (e.g., storage areas, warehouses) where items can be stored or moved. The standard Business Plan includes up to 3 locations within a single team, with the option to add more locations at an additional cost.
You can use BoxHero's Location feature to manage multiple inventory categories within a single team. For example, you could create two locations—one for hats and another for gloves—within the same team. However, please note that this setup is a workaround and not the recommended approach.
Keep in mind that all inventory within a team is shared, so items from all locations will be visible in the Item List. If you need to manage inventory categories separately or control access to specific locations, we recommend creating separate teams for each category.
