Hybrid stock: more flexible and more realistic inventory management

Hybrid stock is a new core feature of the Rental platform. It addresses a common need: allowing points of sale to combine multiple stock sources, without being limited to a single model.

Until now, a point of sale had to choose between two exclusive modes of operation:

• managing its own local stock, or

• relying solely on warehouse stock.

With hybrid stock, this choice is no longer binary: a single point of sale can now mix local stock and warehouse stock, depending on its operational needs.

This evolution brings a great deal of flexibility, but it also involves changes and impacts across many parts of the tool. This article aims to give you a global overview of how hybrid stock works and its practical implications.
