Problem #1:  Lack of visibility is hurting your business

If you are managing an online fashion label from your office/warehouse, then you probably used to adjust inventory in spreadsheets as you sold through Shopify. But when you added Amazon to your channel mix, you started to sell the same products twice and you didn’t even know if your stock levels were accurate anymore. Cin7 integrates your Shopify and Amazon channels with your warehouse, automating your order processes and giving you and your customers accurate information about available stock. This way, you’ll never sell the same item twice, and with sales and stock visibility, you now know what sells and what doesn’t. You’re processes are smoother, your sales are smoother and you have the information to make strategic decisions about your inventory and products.

Problem #2:  Multi-channel, multi-market management is getting too complex

Your business will grow over time. One minute you could be running your operations alongside a website and then the next you could be managing a chain of stores and partnering with companies overseas. In other words, your operations are about to get a lot more complex. However, with Cin7’s Direct EDI and 3PL, built-in warehouse and retail POS, and eCommerce integration, you can streamline all your workflows in a single platform that gives you complete visibility and efficiency, in less time and at a lower cost than it would take to integrate all these workflows using your existing software or an expensive ERP.

Problem #3:  You can’t find a system that works the way you run your business

For instance, you sell computers, components and peripherals to hard-core gamers. It’s a competitive business with notoriously low margins, but you’ve succeeded in making it as the go-to brand for custom builds and gaming packages. You sell online and through an outlet store, but it’s crucial to take your business on the road. By utilizing Cin7’s warehouse module, you have complete visibility and control of the heart of your operations, and with the mobile POS module, you can also sell to your customers at gaming conventions and competitions.
