Performing your End Of Year Physical Inventory?

Take the 30-second quiz to determine the tool for you to complete your physical inventory count:

November 14th, 2024

  • We've moved the chat bubble from the bottom right corner to the left side of the page (next to your profile icon). This change ensures it won't block any buttons throughout the Thrive.

November 12th, 2024

  • Improve your workflow with Stocktakes and updated flexible column resizing, faster filtering, fewer clicks, and simplified buttons for editing, downloads, and more! Try it out now and experience the difference!

  • The In-Transit report now has a “Date Expected” column to provide more clarity and control.

  • We have renamed the custom reports from “Gross Profit” / “Gross Profit Margin” to “Net Profit” / “Net Profit Margin” to match the formulas used, and the labels in the Order Report.

  • We've added a note to the Alerts to clarify the built-in “active product” condition.

November 5th, 2024

  • Enhancements in speed prevent slowdowns during critical periods, ensuring that you can operate smoothly and efficiently when it matters most.

October 29th, 2024

  • We are now caching some of the most frequently used data when loading pages and processing webhooks, resulting in faster system loading times.

  • We've updated the design of data tables throughout Thrive and added new functionality based on user feedback. For example, common functionality like download, upload, and column management were moved into separate menus. We also added configurable row density.

October 22nd, 2024

  • Thrive now offers Clover Payment Processing for Thrive Invoicing which allows customers that have an established Clover Merchant account to use it for credit card processing in conjunction with Thrive's Invoicing feature.

  • Stocktakes have been updated to include a "reduce/receive" feature which allows you to add or remove inventory by using an increase (e.g. add 5) or decrease (e.g. -3 removes three) in inventory without having to use absolute counts.

October 15th, 2024

  • Based on valuable customer feedback, we've updated several terms to improve clarity and usability:

Previous wording

New wording

Reason for change

PAR Level

Reorder Point (min)

"Reorder Point" better reflects the purpose of the field and aligns with "Reorder Target” (see below).

Reorder Qty

Reorder Target (max)

"Reorder Target" is clearer and better describes the field's function.

Default expiration days

Shelf life

"Shelf Life" more accurately reflects the input of a number, not a date. This value is used to calculate expiration dates for received or added lots.

Integrations

Sales Integration or Sales Channel (depending on context)

Clarifies the difference between broader platforms (e.g., Shopify, Square) and specific setups (e.g., Clover at Main Street).

Sales Integrations are platforms like BigCommerce, Clover, Shopify, Square, WooCommerce.

Sales Channels are specific setups within those platforms (e.g., Clover at a location).

"Integration" will still refer to sales integrations and other partners like Meta, Google for Retail, or Stripe.

Adjustment reason

Adjustment method

"Adjustment Method" more accurately describes the process of choosing between actions like "Receive Inventory" or "Manual Adjustment.
