Why Use Brands?
- Vendor Tracking: Easily filter the inventory dashboard to view all products supplied by a specific manufacturer or designer (e.g., "Pure Gold Edit").
- Reporting & Restocking: Assigning products to specific brands simplifies generating purchase orders and tracking which vendor's inventory is performing best in your sales.
Real-World Use Cases
- Brand Performance Analysis: Filtering sales reports exclusively by the "Nike" brand to assess its profitability and negotiate better wholesale purchasing rates.
- Brand-Specific Warranties: Easily identifying all products belonging to a brand that has just issued a global recall or extended warranty program.
03 Managing Brands
Once saved, the brand appears in the main dashboard table.
- The table automatically tracks the number of Products assigned to this brand (starting at 0 for a new entry).
- You can manage the entry using the pencil and trash icons under the Actions column.
