Consignment inventory is invisible until it sells — or goes missing — Taskade Genesis builds a consignment tracker that gives you real-time visibility into every partner location's stock, sell-through rate, and settlement balance without chasing emails.
What Is a Consignment Inventory Manager?
A consignment inventory manager tracks goods you've placed with retail partners or resellers — recording what was sent, what has sold, what remains on the floor, and what settlement payment is owed — so you maintain control without owning the sales floor.
Why Use a Consignment Inventory Generator?
Consignment relationships are high-trust and low-visibility by default. An automated tracker changes that without straining partner relationships.
- Partner location records: Each consignment location is a linked record showing current stock, sales, and outstanding balance via the Relationship field.
- Sell-through tracking: Agents calculate sell-through rate per location per period and flag underperforming partners automatically.
- Settlement automation: When a reporting period closes, automations calculate the owed amount and draft a settlement invoice for review.
- Replenishment triggers: When a location's stock drops below its agreed minimum, a replenishment request is auto-generated and assigned.
- Custom partner portal: Share a filtered view with each consignment partner via a custom domain (Business+) so they can self-report sales.
Who Should Use a Consignment Inventory Generator?
- Artisans and makers placing goods in galleries, boutiques, or pop-up shops.
- Wholesale brands managing consignment programs with independent retail partners.
- Publishers and distributors tracking book or media inventory at multiple retail accounts.
- Gift and specialty product brands growing through consignment before committing to wholesale.
- Sales representatives managing product demonstration inventory across a territory.
