Inventory Management - ShippingEasy Solutions | Overview

This feature is available to existing Inventory Management subscribers. ShippingEasy is no longer offering Inventory Management to users as of July 2020. Learn more about using the ShippingEasy Product Catalog.

ShippingEasy has a mission to streamline your business. After all, shipping does not start-and-end with a package. It is a dynamic process centered around inventory. And that is what our Inventory Management solution is all about.

Even though managing and maintaining your inventory is a time-consuming effort, it is essential for online sellers. Especially if you sell across multiple channels! 

Benefits of ShippingEasy's Inventory Management solution

  • Products: upload and manage your products, variants, and bundles. Automatically update stock levels across most selling channels. View and re-order low stock items, and create low-stock alerts to prevent label generation for out-of-stock items.
  • Purchase Orders: create, send, and update purchase orders on the fly. Assign products to suppliers and vice-versa. Auto-populate new purchase orders, track their status, receive and update purchase orders as they arrive - in turn updating your stores.
  • Suppliers: a dedicated supplier database where products can be directly assigned to the relevant supplier (and vice versa). Easily update contacts, unit cost, payment terms, tax rate, and more. It all translates to Purchase Orders that populate themselves!

Product information can be imported, tracked, and updated

ShippingEasy's Inventory Management solution can help you harness the product and stock information within your store platforms. While support varies for each store platform, many merchants are able to use ShippingEasy's tools to automatically populate their Product Catalog with all the SKUs they sell, as well as track their inventory levels in real-time.

Import Products into your Product Catalog

ShippingEasy can download your Product SKU's and available stock directly from your integrated store with the click of a button. Import Products is supported for these platforms:

Manage stock levels from your Product Catalog:

Inventory Management can manage your stock levels across most of your selling platforms, as long as those orders sync into ShippingEasy. Stock levels can be tracked and updated to your store.

Track inventory stock levels:

ShippingEasy can track stock levels in your Product Catalog based on received, committed, and shipped inventory. This provides you with a single place to monitor your inventory data, making ShippingEasy your source of truth.

Tracking stock levels is supported when orders contain SKUs. Most store platforms allow merchants to add SKUs to their product lists, although you may need to update your store's settings to make use of this function. Contact your store platform for assistance with these updates.

Update stock levels:

Leveraging the inventory data in your Product Catalog, ShippingEasy can update current stock levels back to your store.

Updating stock levels is an enhancement to tracking stock levels. If ShippingEasy can update stock levels to your store, it is also possible to track stock levels from your orders. Both these features require that orders and listings contain SKUs.
