Manage Inventory and Packages
Use search, filters, grid/list views, statuses, and the Packages tab to keep your catalog organized.
The Inventory dashboard is built for more than adding products. It also helps you organize the catalog as your fleet grows.
1. Use the inventory stats as a quick health check
At the top of the page, InflateMate summarizes:
- total units
- available items
- items in maintenance
- total inventory value
This gives you a quick read on whether your catalog is ready to sell.
2. Filter inventory before editing
Use the controls above the list to narrow what you are looking at.
You can filter by:
- search term
- status
- category
The status filter is especially useful when you are reviewing only:
- Available
- Maintenance
- Retired
3. Switch between grid and list view
InflateMate supports both visual and operational browsing.
Use Grid view when you want a more visual scan of the catalog.
Use List view when you want a denser operational view with columns for:
- name
- status
- type
- price
- quantity
- bookings
List view is usually better for admin work. Grid view is better when you want a quick visual pass.
4. Open individual items for deeper edits
From either view, open an item to review or update it.
That is where you handle changes like:
- pricing updates
- quantity corrections
- availability changes
- maintenance states
- richer descriptions and images
Keep item statuses current so the booking engine does not offer products that are unavailable.
5. Use Packages to sell bundles
The Packages tab is separate from the raw inventory list.
Packages are useful when you want to sell a complete offer instead of making customers assemble it themselves.
Examples:
- bounce house + generator
- waterslide + attendant + extension cord
- school event package
Packages help increase average order value and make common combinations easier to sell.
Quick tip
If customers frequently book the same combination of products, that is a strong signal to turn it into a package instead of leaving it as a manual upsell.
