Webshop Integration to Inventory: Your Ticket to Happy Customers and Efficient Retail Management
Modern consumers almost expect to have the product in their lap before you’ve even had a chance to check your inventory and confirm the order from your webshop.
In other words, you need to be on your toes and have a precise overview of your products.
This is why it’s crucial for your retail business to have an efficient inventory management system that works closely with your webshop. With Rackbeat’s webshop integration, you get just that connection.
By synchronizing your inventory and webshop in real time, it becomes much easier to order the right products in the right quantities with timely precision.
This way, you meet your customers’ expectations and set the stage for the products that genuinely create value for your retail business.
But what specific benefits do you get when you integrate your webshop with Rackbeat? And which providers does Rackbeat work with in the market?
You will find the answers in this article.
The Benefits of Rackbeat’s Webshop Integrations
Rackbeat offers a comprehensive inventory management solution that includes essential inventory features such as real-time inventory updates, stock adjustments and inventory counting. But that’s not all. You also get a lot of extra features that provide your retail operations with the recipe for happy customers and more growth for your business:
1. Purchase Management with Reorder Reminders
With Rackbeat, you get what is called “purchasing management.” Purchase management enables you to make your purchases directly from your suppliers without switching between different systems or picking up the phone to find the dealer in your directory.
When the goods arrive at your warehouse, you can register the receipt immediately, and your inventory is updated right away. The system also sends reorder reminders when your specified minimum stock level is reached, ensuring your webshop always has products ready for your customers.
2. Consolidation of Sales Channels
Rackbeat’s order management consolidates all your sales orders into an integrated order overview, giving you a clear overview of your company’s total sales activities. Whether the orders come from your webshop, POS system, or manually created orders, Rackbeat ensures real-time synchronization of your order data.
This means you avoid confusion about orders and ensure that your customers receive their products on time.
3. Tracking Your Products with Batch and Serial Number Management
Rackbeat offers batch or serial number management, giving you full control over your products. This is particularly important for your retail business if you sell goods with specific requirements such as food, medicine, or electronics.
This feature allows you to trace products throughout the supply chain: from procurement to when they are with the customer. This means you can keep track of exactly where each batch or serial number is located, which is essential in case of recalls or warranty claims.
4. Data-Driven Operations with Comprehensive Reporting
With Rackbeat’s reporting features, you can gain deep insights into your inventory, reorder reports, and sales and purchase statistics.
This makes your business more data-driven and allows you to make informed decisions based on both current and historical data.
You gain direct insight into which products are performing well and which are lagging. Based on this, you can optimize your purchases, improve your sales strategies, and ensure more efficient operations.
This was a brief overview of the special features you get when you integrate your webshop with Rackbeat’s dedicated inventory system. Now we will dig a little deeper and give you an overview of how Rackbeat interacts with different webshop platforms.
Integrations with Popular Webshop Platforms
Rackbeat offers a wide range of integrations with the most popular webshop platforms. Here is a list of our webshop partners:
When you connect Rackbeat with one of these webshop providers, the following happens:
Live Transfer of Sales Orders
When your sales orders are created in the webshop, they are continuously transferred to Rackbeat in real time. This eliminates the need for manual entry of sales data into the system. The inventory count can also, if desired, be updated in real time from Rackbeat to the webshop, ensuring that you do not oversell products on your webshop.
Automatic Inventory Updates
When an order is transferred to Rackbeat, the inventory is automatically reduced, and the webshop is immediately updated with the new inventory count. This ensures that your inventory is always accurate and up to date across all systems.
Product Updates
You have the option to create and edit products across the systems. You can choose whether products should be created and maintained in Rackbeat and then synchronized to the webshop, or the other way around. You can also opt out of this synchronization if it does not fit your needs.
Support for Multiple Shops
The integration supports “multi-shops” – meaning that one Rackbeat agreement can be integrated with several different webshops. This provides full synchronization of inventory across all your shops, making it easy to manage multiple sales channels from one central system. These integrations ensure that all parts of your business work together in perfect harmony, allowing you to focus on growth and customer satisfaction – instead of worrying if your inventory numbers are correct.
