Services · Inventory Management and Seller Control

Search, Locate, Select and Control Inventory through a Powerful Seller Dashboard

Give clients and approved teams a commerce-style inventory explorer with images, search, filters, bulk selection, location visibility, requests, destinations, fulfilment settings, reports and complete activity history.

This is the control interface included with Vault storage and managed-service operations. A full client-owned Vault Commerce OS deployment remains a separate software scope.

Seller Dashboard overviewThe dashboard shows lots, inventory, requests, destinations, fulfilment settings, reports, access and support.
Step 1 · Open the control centre

Give Each Client One Operational Home

The visible modules and actions follow the approved client and user permissions.

  • Lots and My Vault Inventory
  • Inbound, outbound and return requests
  • Destinations and fulfilment ownership
  • Reports, access and support
What this screen demonstratesThe dashboard is actionable while remaining restricted to the controls approved for the user.
03
Inventory explorer and filtersThe screen shows grid and list views with keyword, category, colour, size, location, condition and availability filters.
Step 2 · Explore inventory

Users can switch views and refine results without losing active filters or selections.

  • Image-led grid and compact list
  • Keyword and identifier search
  • Category, attribute and measurement filters
  • Location, condition and availability filters
What this screen demonstratesThe explorer combines commerce-like browsing with warehouse and custody facts.
04
Item detail, custody and locationThe screen shows item identity, images, current and previous locations, QR relationships, availability, components and activity.
Step 3 · Inspect the item

Open the Complete Physical and Operational Record

The item view explains where the asset is, what it can be used for and what has happened to it.

  • Custody, catalogue and destination references
  • Current and previous location
  • Images, condition and components
  • Movement, request and approval history
What this screen demonstratesLocate and history actions remain available without exposing unrelated administrative controls.
05
Persistent bulk selectionThe screen selects individual or filtered groups, retains quantities across pages and shows a running selection tray.
Step 4 · Select inventory

Build Large Selections without Repeating the Search

Persistent selection supports hundreds of items while respecting available quantities and permissions.

  • Individual, page or filtered selection
  • Quantity limited by available units
  • Running count and selection tray
  • Edit, remove or clear items
What this screen demonstratesSelections remain available while the user changes filters, pages or views.
06
Bulk inbound preparationThe screen creates a lot or expected inbound request using structured entries, services, package context and scheduling.
Step 5 · Prepare inbound activity

Create Structured Inbound Scope before Arrival

The request can combine bulk item information with service, identification and transport choices.

  • Lot, package and expected-item context
  • Structured entry or template upload
  • Service and QR choices
  • Pickup, drop and scheduling
What this screen demonstratesBulk preparation reduces repeated manual entry while retaining row-level validation.
07
Outbound and return request builderSelected inventory moves into a request with project, dates, destination, transport, return obligation and approvals.
Step 6 · Build the operating request

Convert the Selection into the Correct Workflow

The builder retains item quantities and adds the context required for execution and return.

  • Outbound, stylist or project request
  • Dates, setup and return windows
  • Destination, contacts and transport
  • Return, partial return and exception context
What this screen demonstratesThe user should not need to reselect inventory after opening the request builder.

Step 7 · Track execution

Keep Client Requests Connected to Operational Work

Users can see what is waiting, active, completed, held or requiring their approval.

  • Complete requested-item list
  • Stage and progress visibility
  • Documents, images and exceptions
  • Responsible team and next action
What this screen demonstratesA task title or summary count is not used as a substitute for the actual item list.
09
Destinations and fulfilment settingsThe screen controls marketplace access, rental or sales eligibility and Vault, vendor or hybrid fulfilment defaults.
Step 8 · Configure client control

Set Defaults Once and Override Only Where Required

Client-level rules reduce repetitive configuration while preserving item-level exceptions.

  • Destination and marketplace access
  • Rental, sales and internal-use eligibility
  • Vault, vendor or hybrid fulfilment
  • Per-item override and approval
What this screen demonstratesOperational readiness and catalogue completion do not automatically publish inventory.
10
Reports, exports and activityThe screen shows inventory, location, availability, movement and request reports with permission and user history.
Step 9 · Report and govern

Preserve Accountability as Inventory and Users Grow

Reports support review and audit while live control remains in the operational record.

  • Inventory and location exports
  • Availability and reservation reports
  • Movement, return and care history
  • User, permission and approval activity
What this screen demonstratesExceptions remain assigned and unresolved until an approved correction is recorded.

Seller Dashboard for Inventory, Lots, Requests, Destinations and Fulfilment

The dashboard should provide control over the areas Vault has approved for the client, rather than exposing every administrative function or reducing the experience to a read-only portal.

Client-level defaults reduce repetitive configuration, while per-item exceptions remain available where operating or commercial rules differ.
