Hey BJ, we at Prediko have integrations with multiple WMS. Here is how it works.

In case if this is your use-case, then feel free to DM 🙂

Hey BJ!

I've worked with a lot of brands in that growth stage, and honestly, "messy combo" is the MO until they hit significant scale. We see a lot of people leveraging Airtable/SmartSuite for the RFQ-to-PO flow because traditional ERPs are too heavy/expensive, and inventory tools (like Cin7/DEAR) are often too rigid. (though maybe @Matt Parkin might suggest that Fulfil can help here?)

From what I've seen, the key is solving the communication gap between the PO and the warehouse receiving team - the actual tool used matters less. Sorry this isn't overly helpful, but I guess ...I wouldn't feel bad about using spreadsheets!

Parabola.io could be worth a look

Hey everyone! I am looking for an insurance policy for my stock.
• purchasing price worth 400k EUR
• warehoused in 3PLs in Czechia and Spain
• need to be insured also against loss of profit
Do you happen to know any good providers?

I am currently working on a product that has a monthly fee, but the delivery schedule is based on the most convenient shipping cadence (read: cheaper). Anyone have any ideas on how this might work and what products we could use to do this on Shopify?

For example: we charge a customer $29.99/mo for their 12lb dog, but only ship every other month. For a different customer with a 100lb dog we charge $100 and ship every 5 weeks or so.

I'm looking for options for liquidating about 800 pairs of high-end SPD biking shoes (for clipless pedals) for mountain bikers and bike messenger/expert urban biker types. Does anyone have any good outlets for this sort of things?

We use ShipStation for OMS and Shopify for our inventory management. If we were to upgrade right now it would probably be with fulfil

definitely need to chat with Caspian. Happy to connect you with their CEO Justin.

Hi <@U07MA4RJ3HA> When we were exploring amazon partners, we interviewed a decent one in the UK. It was a referral from another company that was happy with them. I'll send you their info

Hi <@U07MA4RJ3HA> I'll send you a direct with more details

<@U0853L05G8Z> we've bene experiecing some long delays on our end on a few shipments. Are you noticing on certain warehouses ?

Some delays, but not 6 weeks. I’ve had some LTL shipments check in 1-2 weeks after they arrive at Amazon. Small parcels are being received pretty quickly.

What are you trying to do exactly? Forecasting? Ordering? Reporting?

We are looking for someone who can build clear, reliable inventory reporting from Cin7 for multiple ecommerce brands.

What we need
• Best sellers by units and revenue
• Out of stocks and near out of stocks
• Reorder recommendations with configurable lead times and safety stock
• Sell through, weeks of cover, and ageing stock
• Trend analysis by product, colour, size, and season
• Ability to exclude specific categories or SKUs when required
• Bundle aware reporting that breaks sets into component SKUs

Would appreciate any recommendations.

We have a native integration with ShipHero

Hey <@U07GHSZJXTQ>!

Would love to help you out at Prediko (I work for them)

We work with some of the best names in fashion - Labfresh founder shared this as review for us on Linkedin

We were promoted by Shopify as one of the best forecasting apps in their guides

How do you sync inventory across channels/products? I have a client who I don't think is ready for an ERP but he has the following issues:

• He sells product on both Shopify and Amazon (and a few other smaller channels) so he needs synced inventory between all.
• With Shopify he has a product that he sells as both personalized and non-personalized (as well as in a bundle) that are all their own Shopify Products so when one is purchased the others' inventory isn't updated.
• He also prints-on-demand on blank product so in inventory he has blank product but thousands of Shopify Products with different designs of that blank product
How have others solved this?

I'd give Octup a chance. I think it may have what you're looking for, assuming they can get the integration right

Otherwise, I'd encourage you to start building your own reporting with a tool like Parabola
