Hi,
I’d love to see further development of the Sites and Locations functionality. Currently, to accommodate complex brewery workflows, we often create multiple ‘sites’ to handle unique scenarios. As a result, we now manage almost 16 sites, making it overwhelming to navigate product pages.
It would be incredibly beneficial if locations could offer the same permissions and features as sites. This would significantly reduce the number of sites needed while maintaining operational flexibility.
For example, instead of creating separate sites for different warehouse functions, a single site could contain multiple locations:
• Site: Warehouse
• Location: Warehouse 1 (Bonded)
• Location: Warehouse 2 (Non-Bonded)
• Location: On Hold/QC Warehouse (Stock isolated under investigation; an option to exclude from available stock for sale would be ideal rather than using the delayed release feature which can really affect production forecasting)
• Location: eCommerce Warehouse (Separate stock for online orders to prevent auto-assembly/disassembly issues affecting reconciliation)
By structuring it this way, we could reduce our site count by at least half while maintaining operational clarity. Additionally, allowing integrations (e.g. Shopify/WooCommerce) to fulfil orders from a location rather than just a site would offer much-needed flexibility.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
Cheers
