# Inventory Visibility

The Inventory Visibility feature provides users with a comprehensive, real-time overview of all their ***unused*** trackers, enhancing inventory management and operational efficiency. This tool ensures seamless monitoring of tracker availability and distribution across multiple locations and accounts.

### **Why Use The Inventory Visibility Feature?**

- **Centralized Tracker Overview:** Easily view all trackers under different accounts and locations in one place.
- **Advanced Filtering Options:** Users can refine their search by filtering inventory by account, tracker type, and location.
- **Export Functionality:** Download inventory data as a **PDF** or **CSV** for further analysis and reporting.
- **Enhanced Inventory Management:** Optimize tracker distribution and availability for better logistics control.

### **How It Works**

1. **Accessing the Feature:** 
     - Navigate to the **"Trackers"** tab dropdown menu.
     - Select **"Inventory Visibility"** to access the full inventory overview.
2. **Filtering Options:** 
     - Choose the account to which the devices belong.
     - Filter by **tracker type** and **location** to display relevant inventory data.
3. **Interactive Map:** 
     - The map below the filtering options updates dynamically.
     - Users can interact with the map to view the real-time status and availability of their trackers.![image1-1](https://support.tive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image1-1.png?width=670&height=310&name=image1-1.png)
4. **Inventory by Location:**

- Scroll down, below the map, to access the **Inventory by Location** section. 
    - Here you can view a detailed breakdown of tracker locations, including columns for different tracker types. Toggle between **Estimated Available Trackers** and **Number of Trackers Shipped in the Last 90 Days** for deeper insights.![image2](https://support.tive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image2.png?width=670&height=461&name=image2.png)![google-1747993895542](https://support.tive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/google-1747993895542.png?width=670&height=68&name=google-1747993895542.png)

       5.   **Exporting Data:**

- The **Inventory Visibility** page can be exported as a **PDF** for quick reference.
- The **Inventory by Location** table can be exported as a **CSV** for further data analysis and inventory planning.

### **How ‘Available Trackers’ Is Calculated**

A tracker is considered “available” if:

- It was shipped from Tive to the location.
- It has not been activated or used outside the delivery location (within a 5km radius).
- It has not been assigned to a shipment.
- It has not been reassigned to another account

### **Key Points to Know**

- **Single-Use Tracker Assumption:** Multi-use trackers are considered unavailable after their first use, even if they are still in service and were returned to the original location.
- **Redistributed Trackers:** If trackers are redistributed to a different address by the customer, these movements are not reflected.
- **Transferred Trackers:** If trackers are moved to another account after delivery, they will no longer appear as available for either the original or new account.
- **Older Unused Trackers:** Trackers delivered years ago but never activated or assigned may still appear as available, even if they are no longer functional or were disposed of.

### **Best Practices**

- **Schedule Regular Checks:** Review inventory levels weekly or monthly to ensure sufficient availability of trackers.
- **Use Data to Optimize Deployment:** Utilize past shipment data to predict demand and prevent shortages.

- **Coordinate Across Teams:** Share exported reports with relevant departments for better coordination and planning.

- **Keep Trackers Properly Assigned:** Regularly verify that devices are assigned to the correct accounts and locations to maintain accuracy.
