Automated order fulfilment

‍

When handled manually, critical and repetitive tasks can become prone to errors and result in loss of efficiency. Here's where you need the power of automation to automate everything from basic tasks to complex processes.

With Eshopbox, you can streamline your Shopify operations with the technology that enables you to innovate workflows. As soon as an order is placed on your Shopify store, it is automatically pushed to the Eshopbox dashboard. Then, the order is picked, packed, and shipped from one of the multiple fulfilment centres. Eshopbox also ensures complete transparency so that you can track the entire order fulfilment process in real-time from the Eshopbox dashboard —from order confirmation to order delivery and even returns or exchanges.

Inventory distribution

‍

Distributing your inventory is crucial to achieve a significant increase in shipping speed and reduction in shipping costs. However, effectively distributing your inventory is tricky, and various factors need to be considered.

Eshopbox enables strategic inventory distribution with an actionable dashboard and data-driven analytics to plan your ideal inventory distribution. You can split and store your inventory across multiple fulfilment centres so they are closer to your customers. This saves you transit time, shipping costs, and grants you the ability to serve your customers better.

When an order is placed on your Shopify store, Eshopbox chooses the fastest and most cost-effective shipping option— standard and express shipping.

Inventory management for Shopify

‍

Keeping track of your inventory is fundamental to your success in ecommerce. The stock levels constantly fluctuate with every transaction and if you try to manage your operations manually, it will be too hard to handle and prone to human errors. You need a tool that allows you to track your inventory across your D2C business’s supply chain.

‍Eshopbox empowers you with complete visibility of your Shopify inventory at all stages in real-time. You can view the inventory by status, quantity on hand across fulfilment centres. Such visibility enables you to avoid stockouts and plan when you need to reorder inventory for your Shopify store. Moreover, you can gain insights into the performance of your Shopify store like slow-moving inventory, inventory turnover, and other ecommerce metrics.
