Centralize and Integrate Order Management, Inventory Management, and Accounting

When orders come in, it’s important to make sure the items sold are subtracted from available inventory. Integrating and automating order and inventory management helps ensure that there are no disconnects between orders and available inventory.

If you run out of stock or are slow to ship products you may receive negative feedback on the various marketplaces. If there’s enough negative feedback you could be removed from a marketplace all together. Using a platform that ties together inventory management, order management, and accounting can help keep your ratings positive.

During the holidays order status calls tend to increase so it’s important to have customers’ order information readily available. By centralizing order management, it’s possible to automatically notify customers of their order status via email that reduces the number of order status calls and helps improve customer satisfaction.

Integrating QuickBooks or other accounting systems can save additional time and help reduce errors that can be caused by manual entries. Quite often, QuickBooks users import data from comma-separated value (CSV) files that may have become partially out-of-date because QuickBooks is not integrated with their ecommerce platforms. By integrating inventory management, order management, and QuickBooks together via an open platform, transaction processes can occur automatically end-to-end. Moreover, your business will benefit from up-to-date information about inventory, orders, revenue by sales channel and more.
