Hello,
I am looking for a simple way to store stock control in Hubspot. We sell trackers and only have 2 types, I would like a simple way to store the number of stock we have on hand in HubSpot and have a total value on a dashboard. Is this possible?
Many thanks
Marc
Hi @MHemsley
Thank you for reaching out.
I want to tag some of our experts here - @Josh @Alex_Elborn @Jnix284 do you have any thoughts for @MHemsley on this?
Thank you!

@Jnix284, thanks for the mention!
@MHemsley, this is a really cool use case! Check out this thread for some potential inventory management use cases and solutions from other HubSpot users.
It doesn’t look like there’s much out-of-the-box functionality here (other than HubSpot products), but here are some options you can explore.
Custom objects could definitely be used to represent your two products, but I’m not sure how they would be updated (or how often you need them to updated).
Honestly, it sounds like you may be better off using an integration here. Inventory Panda could be promising (though it has less than 10 installs). If you’re currently using an inventory managment system, you may also be able to sync through Zapier.
I think your biggest challenge is going to be keeping your inventory counts current in HubSpot. I’m not sure exactly how you’ll be using this data in HubSpot, but depending on the integration lift (and your current HubSpot subscription), this function may be better handled in a system specifically designed for inventory management. That said, it looks like some users have figured out solutions that work for them, so hopefully you’re able to get at least close to what you’re after!
Hope this helps!!
No problem @jolle , I had a feeling you’d have an idea or two 
Hello Jolle,
Thank you for your reply, I thought i would let you know how i did it. I went with the option to create some custom properties and adding them to a company which I named Stock. I then created a seperate section called stock and added them to the company. Like below
To keep these values updated I created a couple of zaps in zapier to increase or decrease the values depending on the kind of deal that gets closed.
The final part was I then created a report on a dashboard that looks at this company and displays the stock levels so that everyone can see.
Bit of a work around but seems to be working ok.
@MHemsley this is awesome! Really appreciate the update and your thinking here. Glad that you found a workaround that’s working for you!
