Omnichannel fulfillment essentially means fulfilling orders of businesses that sell products in multiple channels operating as one.
Our, system is connecting to multiple systems at the same time, funneling all of the orders into our order management system and fulfilling those orders based on the requirements of each one.
OpsEngine primarily supports the most common channels like Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Etsy, and Amazon and is open to integrating with more channels based on the brand’s needs.
Omnichannel fulfillment helps businesses to reach a wider audience. For example, a business can have 10,000 unique visitors per month on Shopify and 150,000 unique visitors per month on Amazon. But Presence on different marketplaces just for the sake of having a presence on different marketplaces is not recommended. It needs to be absolutely relevant.
Regardless of where the inventory comes from for the most part returns have the same workflow. Our order management system has all of that information available. The items go through quality assurance procedure: smell test, visual test and other testings available based on the product type.
Once the QA is complete we will repackage based on the brand's requirements and put it back into stock available for resell. For the most part, returns are processed within 24 to 36 hours of receiving them.
An inventory planning software is recommended for the brand that matches the best, and OpsEngine provides guidance and references for a certain system.
However, the brand is ultimately responsible for managing and planning its inventory because it knows best and wants to be aligned with its marketing and financial goals.
