Types of the stock lists on Qogita
At Qogita, we understand that your inventory doesn't just sit in one state. To help you maximize your sales, capture demand early, and move high volumes of stock, we offer flexible selling models beyond our standard setup.
Depending on your business needs, you can operate under one or more of the following stock file types. If you are interested in activating an alternative stock list type, please reach out to your Qogita account manager!
