#### [How Inventory Insights Works](https://support.cityhive.net/inventory-insights#howinventoryinsightswork)

**Product Import**  
When importing a new product, key fields are automatically filled in. Common product size is pulled from industry data, including vintage when applicable. Cost and price are pre-filled using the median price from stores in the same city, or state-level data if fewer than 5 city stores carry the item. If the item already exists in your inventory, cost and price pull from the existing record — market data is still shown for reference. Sale price can be set at the time of import, and size entry is structured to keep data consistent across your catalog.

**Troubleshooting Data Issues**  
Insights are generated from price, quantity, and cost data. Occasional mismatches can occur — for example, a cost value recorded for a case being compared to the price of a single unit. If data looks incorrect, submit an integration ticket to resolve it. If no Market value appears for an item, there may not be enough nearby store data to generate a comparison — this is expected for very unique or specialty items.

Updates automatically every 24 hours, or immediately when an item's price, cost, or quantity changes.
