# Smarter Forecasting for Bundles with Bills of Materials

When you sell products in bundles, inventory planning gets complicated fast.

A bundle might fly off the shelves, but the same items could also be selling individually. Without the right system, that’s a recipe for stockouts, overstocks, and wasted cash.

**That’s where StockTrim makes things simple.** With our Bill of Materials (BOM) function, you can set up bundles in just a few clicks. StockTrim automatically connects each bundle to its component items, then forecasts demand for both the bundle as a whole and the individual SKUs inside it.

This means:

**Smarter purchasing** – order exactly what you need across bundles and individual sales.

**No surprises** – always know when a component item is running low.

**Less waste** – keep stock levels balanced without over-ordering.

By using Bills of Materials in StockTrim, you’ll have clear visibility across all your products. Whether customers buy a kit, a combo deal, or just one item on its own, you’ll always be prepared.

***Stop juggling spreadsheets and second-guessing your bundle forecasts***. With StockTrim, you can turn complexity into clarity - and keep your shelves (and customers) happy.
