# Stash

> Stash is inventory management software for growing physical businesses, including retail stores, coffee shops, restaurants, franchises, and multi-location operations. Stash works with Square POS to give growing Square businesses a dedicated inventory workflow around stock visibility, forecasting, suppliers, purchase orders, receiving, transfers, reporting, and multi-location inventory management.

Stash is a cloud-based inventory management application designed for businesses that manage physical stock.

Businesses can use Stash to understand what inventory they have, where stock is located, what may need replenishment, what is already on order, and how inventory is performing across locations.

Stash is particularly relevant for growing businesses that use Square POS and need more dedicated inventory management while continuing to use Square for point of sale and payments.

## Product Positioning

Stash is inventory management software, not a point-of-sale system.

Stash is designed to sit alongside the systems businesses already use to sell products and manage operations.

For Square businesses, Square can remain the point-of-sale and payment system while Stash provides a dedicated inventory workflow around stock visibility, forecasting, purchasing, suppliers, counts, receiving, transfers, reporting, and multiple locations.

Stash is not positioned as a manufacturing MRP, advanced warehouse management system, shipping platform, or ecommerce order-management suite.

## Inventory Forecasting

Stash uses available inventory and demand information to support forecasting and replenishment decisions.

Forecasts are decision-support inputs rather than guarantees. Purchasing decisions may also depend on supplier lead times, current stock, incoming purchase orders, safety stock, promotions, events, seasonality, new products, and human judgment.
