Is it possible to create inventory sub groups. I’m trying to set this software up for my sisters salon to keep track of her retail side of things and the number of products is just too big. It would be much more effective if products could be grouped somehow. Perhaps by company or type; Loreal …

Having a lot of inventory items will produce long list of inventory items. That’s just the way it is. Why not name inventory items such as Loreal Shampoo 500ml Loreal Face Wash 250ml etc…

A separate brand/manufacturer field would be nice to prevent issues when you want to apply formatting to just the brand (bold, separate line, hide, etc). Categories would be a nice addition (perhaps a low priority feature), even if it was just a single level only.

Woahhhh that’s freaking awesome! Thanks! You guys are blowing my mind off with the level of service and support! I’ve already been referring my clients, mostly new small-businesses, to get them away from spreadsheets and to Manager for their bookkeeping. Excellent, guys =)

Dear Lubos, How can we get these features, specially the Group Inventory described by Mr. Sogko for the fashion inventory. Thanks.
