Multi Channel Software (eBay, Amazon, & other platforms)

[staceyb]

I'm currently looking for multi channel software which can do the following across a website, ebay, and amazon:

* Stock syncing - coordinating my inventory across all of my channels, so that when a product sells on one channel, all other channels are updated to show the change in available stock level.
* Listing - when I list a new product, I only enter the information once and then sync it to all channels.
* Stock control management - a record of total stock levels, product skus and barcodes for each product.

I currently have ebay and amazon shops and will be looking in to opening a website in the future. At the moment I'm having to divide my stock between each shop which can be confusing when it is products with different variations. At the moment all of my product data and stock levels are kept in a spreadsheet which I have to update manually at the end of the day. Multi channel software should make this whole process easier for me.

If you have any experience with any multi channel software, I'd love to hear what you thought of them. What did you think of the software, the customer service, and the price?

Hi Stacey

The most popular solutions for your needs are; Brightpearl, Linnworks, Netsuite, eSellerpro and Channel Advisor (someone will probably point out some I've missed). My company is a partner of Brightpearl so we have an obvious bias towards them!

I would recommend taking out trials of the solutions I have mentioned to get a feel for the respective systems. You can access a free 30-day trial of Brightpearl from our partner page at www.gillespiebs.co.uk/brightpearl, where you can also find more info on the system and customer testimonials.

Hi Stacey,
Jack has put together a very thorough list of multi-channel software. The best bet would be just to do your reseacrh and try some of them out if they have a free trial. Good luck

Google UnderstandingE - free and all the knowledge is there to set it up and run it yourself. If you don't want to, find a developer to help. We were in your position, we tried a third party software provider, they worked well for about 6 months and we outgrew them. We offloaded the cost, developed our own system using UnderstandingE and I can honestly say it's the best thing we ever did! We have a totally customised system that works well for us and there's room to expand. As more people catch on, I honestly believe these off the shelf companies will fall by the wayside...
