For beauty and cosmetics businesses
Inventory management for beauty and cosmetics businesses.
Beauty customers are loyal to a shade, a size and a brand, and they notice the day it is not on the shelf. StockỌja tracks every variant, warns you before the favourites run out, and lets customers order online from the same stock.
At a glance
Shades and sizes as variants
One product, every shade or size, each counted separately.
Reorder alerts
A low-stock level per variant, so best sellers are flagged in time.
Margins you can see
Cost and selling price per item; product reports rank by profit.
An online shelf
Customers see what is in stock and order for pickup.
What makes beauty stock different
A beauty business often carries many near-identical items: the same serum in two sizes, the same foundation in twenty shades. Customers ask for exactly one of them. Without a variant-level count, a business either over-buys to be safe or disappoints regulars. Products also lose value when they pass their best, so knowing what is not moving matters as much as knowing what is.
How beauty businesses use StockỌja
- 1
Organise by brand and category
Skincare, makeup, hair care, fragrance; brand on every product for quick filtering.
- 2
Use variants for shades and sizes
Each gets its own SKU, barcode and low-stock level. See product management.
- 3
Sell in store and online
The same stock serves the POS and your online store.
- 4
Review slow movers
Product reports show what sells and what sits, so you can discount before it is too late.
Losses on record
Testers, breakages and expired products are part of the business. Record them as adjustments with a reason (damaged, expired or other) and the loss shows in your stock history instead of disappearing into a recount.
Questions
Does StockỌja track expiry dates?
There is no expiry-date field per batch today. When you remove expired stock, record an adjustment with the reason Expired so the loss is on record and visible in your history.
How do I set up products with shades?
Create one product, such as a foundation, with a variant per shade. Each shade has its own SKU, stock and low-stock level.
Can I run a promotion for my followers?
Yes. Create a coupon code customers enter at checkout or that you apply at the till. Automatic promotions are available on the Thrive plan.
