Introducing Composite Items to the Inventory System — A Full Feature Analysis

Discover how composite items bring clarity and automation to kits, bundles, and assemblies. Learn about component tracking, automatic stock calculations, and BOM-style inventory management.

Inventory teams today manage increasingly complex product structures. Kits, bundles, multipacks, assemblies, promotional sets—each of these adds operational overhead, opportunities for error, and difficulty forecasting actual stock levels.

Our newest upgrade solves that challenge at its core.

We’re proud to introduce Composite Items, a feature designed to bring total clarity, automation, and accuracy to any product made up of multiple inventory components.

Whether you’re responsible for warehouse operations, procurement, manufacturing, or simply making informed business decisions, Composite Items offer a level of control and visibility that traditional inventory systems don’t come close to matching.

A Clearer Picture of Your Inventory Reality

Composite Items allow you to define a SKU that represents a product built from other items you already track. For example:

Product Bundle 2095-300
= 2 × 2050-71
= 2 × 2091-311

Instead of managing bundles as “virtual stock,” the system now understands their true composition.

This means operational teams always know:

  • How many complete bundles can actually be shipped today
  • Which components are limiting production or fulfilment
  • How stock movements at the component level affect finished goods availability

No more manual cross-checking. No more calculations. No more uncertainty.

Real-Time Availability That Automatically Tracks Components

A composite item’s availability is always derived from the items inside it. If a component runs low, the composite reflects that instantly.

For operations, this means:

  • Picking teams never prepare orders the warehouse can’t fulfill
  • Procurement sees shortages before they affect orders
  • Customer service can promise delivery dates with confidence
  • Managers gain a reliable view of production potential

It’s real-time, dynamic, and always correct.

Effortless Order and Fulfilment Handling

One of the most powerful advantages of Composite Items is how seamlessly they behave in real operational workflows.

When a composite item is:

  • Sent
  • Received
  • Transferred
  • Adjusted

…the system automatically applies those movements to each component behind the scenes.

For example, shipping 10 units of a composite that requires two components each will correctly deduct 20 components where it matters.

This gives fulfilment teams:

  • Cleaner pick lists
  • Fewer errors
  • Less training overhead
  • Absolute stock accuracy, every time

Composite Items let the system handle the complexity so operations teams don’t have to.

Simple to Create, Transparent to Understand

When editing an inventory item, you can enable composite mode and add components with just a few clicks. Each composite displays:

  • Its component list
  • Required quantities
  • Derived on-hand and available counts

Your staff instantly sees how the item is structured and what its availability depends on.

Decision makers gain an at-a-glance understanding of:

  • Which SKUs consume the most components
  • Where production bottlenecks form
  • Whether bundles are viable or profitable at current stock levels

Consistent Behavior Across the Entire System

Composite Items don’t feel bolted on—they’re deeply integrated everywhere a SKU is used:

  • Inventory lists
  • Product detail views
  • Order creation
  • Work orders
  • Operational dashboards
  • Stock adjustment flows

This ensures everyone—warehouse workers, procurement teams, sales reps, and leadership—interacts with composites in a consistent, predictable way.

The result is a smoother, more unified operational experience.

Why This Matters to Your Business

For operational teams

  • Fewer picking mistakes
  • No more stock-level guesswork
  • Immediate visibility into component-driven constraints
  • Faster training and onboarding

For managers & decision makers

  • Trusted data for planning and forecasting
  • Better visibility into production readiness
  • Reduced inventory overhead and shrinkage
  • More accurate order promise dates

For finance & leadership

  • Fewer fulfilment failures
  • Improved margin clarity on bundled products
  • Stronger reporting accuracy
  • Better resource allocation

Composite Items improve the daily workflow at every level of your organisation.

A Smarter, More Connected Inventory System

This feature isn’t just about bundles—it’s about connecting your entire inventory ecosystem so it behaves the way your business actually operates.

Whether you build kits, assemble products, or offer packages, Composite Items ensure your system:

  • Understands the relationships between SKUs
  • Maintains perfect accuracy through automation
  • Gives your team complete clarity
  • Scales with the complexity of your product offerings

It’s the next evolution of inventory management—one that empowers operators and decision makers alike.
