Easily Track Shopify Inventory by Product and Location with Reports

Managing several stores is a big responsibility, and handling inventory across different locations isn’t the kind of cherry you want on top.

Handling inventory in a single store is hard enough, but when you're running multiple locations, warehouses, or fulfillment centers, things can go off track quickly. 

You might often ask yourself this:

·   Which store is running low on a fast-moving product?

·   How many items are committed to unfulfilled orders?

·   What’s incoming from another warehouse?

·   How much emergency stock do I have?

With the rise of omnichannel commerce, location-based inventory data is not only helpful but also helps businesses stay profitable.

Going Beyond Shopify’s Default Reports

Shopify offers basic inventory management capabilities, but merchants with complex inventory workflows often find themselves limited.

They group data by product, but not by location, which means you don’t get a clear view of what’s available where. There’s no simple way to export a complete inventory report that includes key details like variant ID, Available, On-hand, incoming stock, committed quantities, or even safety stock levels. If you want to check inventory valuation by location, you’re stuck manually clicking through each product or using complex reporting just to transfer and view the data. 

The result? Store owners end up wasting hours trying to collect everything together by hand.

How Third-Party App Solves This

Shopify gives you a starting point for inventory tracking, but when you’re managing multiple warehouses, it quickly falls short. You can’t easily compare stock breakdown at one location to another, and there’s less visibility into how inventory is performing across all your warehouses.

Report Pundit connects directly with your Shopify store and gives you inventory data, letting you track, filter, and analyze stock levels by location in real time. Whether you are trying to identify slow-moving products in one region or restock efficiently across outlets, such tools help you make those decisions confidently, without relying on messy exports.

With the Reporting Apps, you can view the current inventory value at each location whenever needed. Additionally, you can calculate the ending inventory value once enable the inventory feature for each location, something Shopify doesn’t offer natively.

Case Study

ABC is one of East Africa’s fastest-growing fashion brands, with 29+ retail outlets across Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda and a strong online presence through ShopZetu and a dedicated U.S. storefront.

With such a diverse retail and online footprint, ABC needed visibility into inventory across multiple locations to avoid overstocking in slow-moving stores and stockouts in high-demand areas.
‍

With Report Pundit, ABC has:

• Identified understocked SKUs at their high-traffic Nairobi locations
  
  
• Shifted excess inventory from slower stores, avoiding unnecessary reorders
  
  
• Optimized planning across borders and channels
  
  
• Reduced manual tracking 

Report Types You Can Create

With Report Pundit, you can generate a variety of inventory reports that go beyond Shopify’s limitations:

• Inventory by Product & Location
• Daily Inventory Sold by Location
• Products by Sales Percentage (Sell-through Rate)
• Reorder Point Report
• Inventory Turnover Report
• Historical Inventory Levels

Track Incoming and ending Inventory Across Locations Sometimes it's chaotic to know what stock is on its way to a specific location. With Shopify’s default reports, it's a bit confusing to view incoming inventory data, especially when you're managing multiple warehouses.With third-party apps, you can create custom inventory reports that show incoming stock movement between locations. For example, if an item is out of stock at Location A and you're transferring it from Location B, you can see that as incoming inventory for Location A, giving you better visibility and planning control.

So that you can easily track:

• Incoming quantities by location
• Expected restocks
• Inter-warehouse transfers

Shopify’s native reports only show ending inventory, the stock count captured at the end of each business day (midnight). Unfortunately, they do not provide real-time visibility into current or incoming inventory levels.

If you want to see the current inventory for each product or variant, you have to go to Products > Inventory, export the data by hand, and then combine several reports. It’s slow and can be time-consuming, especially if you’re not comfortable using Excel.

Without access to real-time and incoming inventory, it becomes difficult to manage stock movement, restock, or make decisions across multiple locations.

Inventory Snapshot with Full Breakdown

We capture inventory data for each SKU and location from the moment you enable the feature. You can view:

·   Available: Items currently ready to be sold

·   Committed: Items ordered by customers but not yet fulfilled

·   Incoming: Stock being transferred to a location

·   On-hand: Total physical stock, including committed items

·   Unavailable (Safety Stock): Reserved inventory that can be activated in emergencies

All this data appears in a single sheet, neatly grouped by location and product, which Shopify Native Reports don’t show this way by default. 

Conclusion

Dealing with inventory across multiple Shopify locations is not a cup of tea, especially when native reports miss the stuff that matters. With Report Pundit, you get clear, customizable inventory reports that show exactly what’s in stock, where it’s located, and what’s on the way.

Because it’s not about using more tools, it is all about getting value and insights from the data you already have.
