In your Vend account, ensure that your products list and sales history are up to date.

It also helps if your inventory is tracked in Vend, with current stock levels set.

In StockTrim, go to the Load Data screen and click "Load From Vend". Click "allow access" when Vend asks for your permission.

On the dashboard you will see how many products you are overstocked or understocked with, as well as the related costs. Click, 'See my plan' to see the optimal reorder points and suggested order quantities to save you these costs.

On each product, you can select the 'i' icon to bring up the demand analysis. See your trends, and see how the forecasts are calculated so you can oversee the results to have confidence they're correct.

Click the settings wheel to set the lead time and service level. Make sure that the lead time is set so that you have enough stock to cover the time between when you place the orders with your suppliers and when they arrive.

To make your savings, take StockTrim's suggested order quantites and re-order amounts then update them in Vend. When these levels are reached you will know how much to order to ensure your inventory is not bloated, and you have enough to meet demand.
The ability to automatically update these values is coming soon, but let us know if you need any assistance with this step and we can help you out!
