What Inventory Management Software do you use and why?

[tim348]

I found several inventory management services online..

Im wondering if these will work well even with multiple EBAY accounts and with some of those accounts having some of the same products..

Have any of you used any Inventory management software? IF so which one did you prefer and why?


Here is a list of the services I have found..

BigCommerce
Bizelo
Brightpearl
ChannelAdvisor
Cin7
Dear Inventory
Ecomdash
Finale Inventory
Freestyle Solutions
Linnworks
SellerActive
Shopping Cart Elite
SkuVault
Soldsie
StitchLabs
topShelf by Scout
TradeGecko

I just use Excel and program it so it works automatically.

You have such a big inventory?

How do you link an Excel spreadsheet to multiple eBay accounts and have the spreadsheet update whenever an item sells on one account and also update the remaining quantity on the other accounts?

I had no idea Excel could be used for such a thing. If you're really using Excel for all of your inventory management then I would really like to hear more about how you're doing so.

@tim - I've heard of most of those but I don't have experience. I think software like that is better suited for managing your inventory across multiple selling platforms rather than across multiple accounts on the same platform. Seems like linking any of these to multiple eBay accounts would create a solid link across your accounts. Let me know how it goes if you decide to try any of them.

ChannelAdvisor and VOLO used them both they will want a % of your sales and probably wont touch you unless your doing 50k month in sales. They do everything and when looking i was shown a few accs in the uk as examples at a glance that were doing a few million a month over all channels. Argos in the uk use them which are like Bestbuy over there size wise. If your big and with a warehouse its for you if not , im using shipstation and reply manager now and are probably all you will need upto 20-30,000 items a month.

Does inkfrog offer inventory management? I'm looking for this as well. Like something where I input the total number of items I have, and everytime I make a sell, it changes the number so I dont have to count every week.

Its hard when you have 200+ of an item.

Inkfrog is really really buggy. I migrated out of Inkfrog because of it.

Linnworks is probably the best, iirc its free for less than 50 items
