Managing stock variants

If you sell shoes, you do not just sell "shoe." You sell size 39, 40, 41, and 42, each in black and brown. If you sell clothes, you stock small, medium, large, and extra-large in different colours. Each combination is a variant, and each variant needs its own stock count.

Why Variant Management Matters

Without proper variant tracking, you might know you have fifty pairs of shoes in total but have no idea whether you are out of size 40. A customer asks for size 40 in black. You check the shelf. Empty. You check your records. It says fifty in stock. That discrepancy happens because you were counting all variants together.

For clothing shops, shoe shops, and any business selling items with size or colour options, variant-level tracking is essential. It tells you exactly what to reorder and what is selling fastest.

How SokoWise Tracks Each Variant Separately

In SokoWise, you create one product and add its variants beneath it. For a shirt, you would have variants: red-small, red-medium, red-large, blue-small, and so on. Each variant has its own price, SKU, and stock count. When you sell a red medium shirt, only that variant's stock decreases. Your reports show you exactly which colours and sizes move fastest so you can stock smarter.
