# Inventory

> An introduction to the Inventory module — where you manage your products, plans, passes, resources, floor plans, and lockers.

## Overview

The Inventory module is where you define everything your space offers and how customers pay for it. It covers your membership plans, the products and services you sell, the physical spaces and resources you rent out, and the rules that control who can book what.

From here you can manage:

* What you sell (plans, products, passes, event tickets)
* Where people work (floor plans, desks, offices)
* What people book (resources, meeting rooms, equipment)
* How booking access is controlled (time credits, resource rules)
* What people store (lockers)

## How it all fits together

The Inventory module defines the building blocks that the rest of the platform uses. There are several ways to sell to customers:

| What you sell     | How it works                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Plans**         | Sold via contracts. A plan defines the recurring membership fee and what it includes (access, credits, limits). Plans may or may not include products. Contracts are always for a plan but can be connected to one or more desks or units representing the physical spaces being contracted by the customer. Plans can also represent virtual offices. |
| **Products**      | Versatile items that can be sold in multiple ways: as add-ons in a contract, linked to resources and sold via bookings, used to represent deposits or sign-up fees in contracts and proposals, or purchased directly from the members portal.                                                                                                          |
| **Event tickets** | Events can be free or paid. Paid events use event products (ticket types) to sell attendance. Event products are a separate entity — they are not related to products.                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| **Courses**       | Courses can be sold if they are associated with a plan — customers need an active contract on that plan to access the course.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| **Passes**        | Time-limited access passes sold independently of a plan — useful for day visitors or part-time users.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| **Resources**     | Bookable items (meeting rooms, desks, equipment) charged per use via time credits or direct pricing. Products can be linked to resources to offer extras at booking time (e.g., catering, AV equipment).                                                                                                                                               |
| **Charges**       | A generic way to bill any item to a customer's account — used when a sale doesn't fit neatly into products, bookings, or events.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |

These elements connect across the platform:

* **Plans** control access — they determine which resources a customer can book, what limits apply, and what discounts they receive.
* **Resources** appear in the booking calendar and can have products linked to them for upselling extras at booking time.
* **Floor plans** provide a visual representation of your physical space, linking desks, offices, and rooms to resources. Desks and offices on floor plans are the units that can be linked to contracts.
* **Time credits** are included in plans and spent when customers make bookings, bridging billing and resource usage.
