# Set Up and Manage Warehouse Locations | InventoryHQ

> Add and manage warehouse locations in InventoryHQ, set a primary location, view location-specific inventory, and add more sites as your business grows.

If your roofing or trades business operates out of more than one warehouse, keeping inventory siloed by location is critical for accurate job costing and material fulfillment. InventoryHQ lets you create and manage multiple warehouse locations under a single account, so your entire operation stays connected even as it scales.

## Your Primary Location

Every InventoryHQ account starts with one primary warehouse location, included with the Core Plan. This is your default location — the one that appears first in inventory lookups, job assignments, and reports. You can rename it to match your actual facility name at any time.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Settings">
    From the main navigation, select **Settings**, then choose **Locations** from the left-hand menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit your primary location">
    Click the pencil icon next to your primary location to edit its name, address, and any notes about that facility.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save your changes">
    Click **Save**. The updated location name will appear throughout your account, including in inventory lists and reports.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Adding a New Warehouse Location

When your business expands to a second or third facility, add each new location as a separate warehouse in InventoryHQ.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Settings > Locations">
    Navigate to **Settings** and select **Locations**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Add Location">
    Select **Add Location** in the top-right corner.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter location details">
    Fill in the location's name, physical address, and any relevant notes (for example, "Main distribution hub" or "Satellite yard – North region").
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the new location">
    Click **Save**. The new warehouse is now active and appears in inventory forms, job assignments, and reporting filters throughout your account.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Each additional warehouse location is available as a paid add-on at **\$99/month**, which also includes **5 additional users** — making it cost-effective to expand your team alongside your footprint. To add a location to your plan, go to **Settings > Billing** or see [Billing & Plans](/settings/billing-and-plans).
</Note>

## Setting a Location as Your Primary Warehouse

If your main operational hub changes, you can update which location is treated as the primary warehouse.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Settings > Locations">
    Navigate to **Settings** and select **Locations**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the location you want to set as primary">
    Click the location's name to open its detail page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Set as Primary">
    Select **Set as Primary**. A confirmation dialog will appear.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Click **Confirm**. The selected location is now your primary warehouse and will appear as the default throughout your account.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Viewing Inventory at a Specific Location

Once you have multiple locations set up, you can filter your inventory view to see only the materials and equipment at a given facility.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Inventory">
    Navigate to the **Inventory** section from the main menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Apply the Location filter">
    Open the filter panel and select the specific warehouse you want to view from the **Location** dropdown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review location-specific inventory">
    The inventory list updates to show only items assigned to that location. You can export this filtered view for physical stock checks or transfer planning.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Use location-level inventory views before scheduling a job to confirm that the materials you need are available at the closest warehouse — saving your crew an unnecessary trip to a secondary site.
</Tip>

## Service Trucks vs. Warehouse Locations

Warehouse locations and service trucks are managed separately in InventoryHQ. A warehouse location represents a fixed facility where materials and equipment are stored. A service truck is a mobile unit that carries its own assigned inventory and equipment between job sites.

<Note>
  Service trucks are not counted as warehouse locations and are managed under their own section of the platform. For details on setting up and managing service trucks, see the [Service Trucks Overview](/service-trucks/overview).
