Work across multiple locations

Running more than one shop, warehouse or pickup point? Add each as a location, then switch your working location from the top bar so stock, inventory and in-person sales scope to the place you're standing in.

🖥 Web 📱 Mobile

If your business runs from more than one place — two branches, a shop plus a warehouse, a couple of pickup points — Crate keeps each one straight. You list every physical location, and stock, inventory and in-person sales scope to whichever location you're working in. No more guessing which branch a sale or a stock count belongs to.

Adding your locations

Open Locations and add each physical place. Crate treats one as your Default — the location new stock and orders fall back to — and you can mark any location as a Pickup point so shoppers can collect there at checkout. Each card surfaces the address, contact details, and the units on hand at that location.

Tip: Stock and analytics roll up per location, so once your locations are set you can see exactly what's selling — and what's running low — at each one.

Switching your working location

As soon as you have more than one location, a location switcher appears in the top bar. It shows your current working location; click it and choose another to switch. Everything location-aware — your inventory screens, stock adjustments, and point-of-sale — re-scopes to the location you pick, so you record against the right place every time.

Your choice sticks for the rest of your session and is always re-checked against your own store, so a stale selection quietly falls back to your default location rather than pointing somewhere wrong.

    Switch your working location

    Pick a location from the switcher. Inventory views, stock writes and in-person sales now scope to it, so every action you take lands in the right place — the top bar updates to show your new working location.
