We signed up to StoreFeeder primarily to get a better handle on stock control, as this is one of the biggest challenges facing a retail outlet with a physical store and several eCommerce websites. StoreFeeder has given us so much more including an excellent purchase order system and an extensive reporting system.

Reordering from a spreadsheet means stockouts or cash tied up in stock

Guesswork on reorder points
Spreadsheets don't account for lead times or seasonality, so you run out or over-buy.
Slow-moving stock goes unnoticed
Without reporting, cash sits in SKUs that haven't sold in months.
Purchase orders are manual
Building POs by hand for every supplier is slow and gets skipped when things are busy.
Forecast demand and reorder with confidence using StoreFeeder

Forecasting and replenishment in StoreFeeder

Running out of a best seller costs sales and marketplace ranking; over-ordering ties up cash and space. Forecasting uses your actual sales across every channel to get the balance right.

  • Forecast demand from sales history across all your channels, not just one.
  • Low-stock alerts flag products before they run out.
  • Raise purchase orders to suppliers from the forecast, then book the delivery in against the same purchase order.
  • One stock figure means forecasts are based on what is really in the warehouse.

Forecasting is part of StoreFeeder's warehouse management system, working with booking in and inventory management.
