Understanding the Dashboard KPIs
The Dashboard is the first thing you see when you log into Stash. It surfaces four KPIs designed to answer one question at a glance: does inventory need my attention right now?
Each KPI is computed across the shops you're currently viewing. If you're scoped to a single shop, the numbers reflect just that shop. Switch to "All shops" to see the org-wide view.
Total inventory value
The total value of your stock on hand, computed as quantity × cost price for every item, summed.
Tells you how much capital is tied up in inventory
Useful for spotting gradual increases (overstocking) or decreases (sell-through)
Always shown in your organization's currency. See Setting your currency.
This is your stock at cost, not retail value. To see retail value, that's a separate calculation based on selling prices.
Stock health score
The percentage of items that are above their low-stock threshold.
100% means every item is healthy
Anything below ~85% suggests several items need reordering
Doesn't include items without a threshold set. See Setting low stock thresholds and reorder quantity.
This is the most useful "is anything on fire?" metric. A drop usually means a busy day depleted multiple items at once.
Items requiring action
The count of items that are at or below their low-stock threshold (or out of stock entirely).

Out-of-stock items are weighted highest in priority
Doesn't double-count items that already have a PO in flight
This is your daily checklist — open it, work through the items, your dashboard turns green.
Stock coverage (avg days)
How many days of stock you have on average, based on recent consumption rates.
Higher = you're well-stocked or overstocked
Lower = you're running lean (good for cash, risky for stockouts)
Items without consumption history are excluded
For a busy café, healthy coverage is usually 7–14 days for fast-movers, 30+ for slow-movers. Track the trend over time more than the absolute number.
Refresh frequency
The Dashboard updates in real time as inventory changes. Sales, transfers, PO receives, manual adjustments — all reflected within seconds.
Filtering and scope
Use the shop picker at the top of the page to filter the dashboard:
All shops — org-wide totals
Single shop — that shop only
The KPIs always recalculate to match your current scope.
Who can view it
Only Admins see the Dashboard. Members see a simpler operational view focused on their day-to-day work. See What Admins vs Members can do.
