A workspace is your company’s home in Retrac — one catalog, one set of locations, one billing plan, and one team. Think of it like a Slack workspace: separate from other organizations you might join.
Create a workspace
- After signing up, click Create workspace on the welcome screen.
- Enter a workspace name (shown in the sidebar and switcher).
- Choose a slug — the URL-friendly identifier (e.g.
acme-supply → app.retrac.co/acme-supply/inventory).
- Confirm to create the workspace.
Retrac creates a default location named Inventory and sets it as your default location for new stock entries.
You can create additional workspaces anytime from the workspace switcher in the sidebar.
Switch between workspaces
Click the workspace name at the top of the sidebar to open the switcher. Select another workspace or create a new one. Your last visited workspace is remembered when you return to the app.
Workspace settings
Open Settings → General from the sidebar (gear icon when inside a workspace).
| Setting | Who can edit | Notes |
|---|
| Workspace name | Owners | Max 32 characters |
| Workspace slug | Owners | Lowercase letters, numbers, and dashes only; max 48 characters. Changing the slug updates your dashboard URL. |
| Logo | Owners | Optional branding shown in the workspace switcher |
| Default location | Owners | Where opening stock is placed when you add items from inventory |
| Delete workspace | Owners | Permanent — removes all items, locations, transfers, and members |
Deleting a workspace cannot be undone. Export your items first if you need a backup.
Workspace ID (for integrations)
If you connect Retrac to other tools via the API, you need your workspace ID:
- Go to Settings → General.
- Copy the workspace ID shown on that page.
Use this ID in API requests alongside your API key. See API keys.
Multiple workspaces per account
One person can belong to many workspaces — useful if you run separate businesses or manage inventory for clients. Each workspace has its own plan, usage, and members. Billing is per workspace, not per user account.
