Inventory Order Management
If your business is taking on additional sales channels, you may find it’s time to introduce an inventory order management system to integrate them all into one central database for easier management. Trying to manage sales orders, respond to customer emails and send out notifications from many different platforms creates extra work and plenty of room for human error.
If you sell merchandise on retail outlets, you’re logging in to each one individually. The best inventory order management systems will resolve this problem for you by pooling all your order information into a single dashboard for faster and easier transactions.
Imagine the time you’ll save by imputing data in one place to update all your sales channels. Plus, you can eliminate the problem of duplication caused by adding information manually.
Many businesses pay for additional order entry software for manufacturing to compensate for missing features in their ecommerce platform; however, order entry software for small businesses is often very limited in scope. SOS Inventory, on the other hand, brings a wide range of functionality to the table for a small price.
