Use Case

Related items inventory management

Related items inventory management is the practice of linking products that are frequently sold together, used as accessories, or serve as complementary goods — so that stock visibility extends beyond a single SKU. When one product is viewed, the availability of its related items surfaces automatically for cross-sell and co-ordering decisions. Stocklyst connects accessories, complementary products, and frequently bought-together items with related item availability shown alongside any primary product.

01 — In Practice

How teams use this in practice

Cross-sell accessories at point of sale

A phone retailer links cases, screen protectors, and cables to each phone model. When staff pull up a phone, related accessory stock is visible — enabling cross-sell suggestions backed by real availability.

Complementary product visibility

An office supply distributor links printers to compatible ink cartridges and paper. When printer stock is checked, ink and paper availability surfaces automatically for co-ordering.

Frequently bought together monitoring

A sporting goods store links co-selling products — helmets with bikes, cleats with shin guards. Monitoring linked stock levels prevents one item from selling out while its companion sits idle.

Spare parts and consumables

An equipment supplier links machines to replacement filters, belts, and service kits. When a machine is sold or serviced, related consumable stock is immediately visible for reorder planning.
