Unit Conversion

With Rackbeat’s Unit Conversion, you can break down your products into multiple units—so you can purchase goods in larger quantities from your supplier and sell them in alternative units to your customers.

If you work with products like food items or textiles, you’ll often buy in bulk but sell in smaller quantities. That’s why it’s important to split products into different units—so you can meet customer needs, keep full control of inventory, and get the most out of your product margins. Rackbeat makes it possible to buy in one unit, store in another, and sell in a third.

Stay in control across purchasing, inventory, and sales

With Unit Conversion in Rackbeat, you can purchase goods in one unit, store them in another, and sell them in a third. It’s ideal if you buy in pallets but sell in boxes, bags, or individual items—without having to manually calculate conversions along the way.

You choose a default unit for each product and add the extra units you work with day to day. This makes it easier to handle both purchasing and sales in the way that fits your business and your customers. At the same time, you get a clearer inventory overview, because Rackbeat helps you keep track of quantities—no matter which unit you’re working in.
