The stock figure is true.

The stock figure is true.

Supplier sync, order handling and price monitoring, without manual spreadsheets.

In an online shop the most expensive mistake is a quiet one: you sell something you do not have. The customer pays, you apologise, and the review stays.

Where it breaks

Every supplier sends differently.

One supplier publishes an XML feed. Another emails an Excel file once a day. A third has only a PDF price list. The fourth tells you on the phone. The shop, however, has to show one stock figure, and a true one.

So someone maintains a spreadsheet mapping their codes to yours and updates it by hand. That spreadsheet is the most fragile thing in the shop: when it goes stale, the shop sells goods that do not exist.

What we take over

Four flows.

  • Supplier stock. XML, Excel, CSV or PDF are read and translated to your articles by one rule per supplier.
  • Sync to the shop. Quantities and lead times are pushed into the platform you already run.
  • Order handling. Purchase orders, waybills and notifications prepared without re-typing.
  • Price monitoring. Supplier changes and competitor prices on the same article, as findings rather than a log to read.
What you get

The findings, not the spreadsheet.

sample email, 07:00 Shop — 1 September: · 4 suppliers synced, 3,812 articles, 611 stock figures updated. · 3 findings: – supplier A has sent no feed for 26 hours — 840 articles running on stale data – 12 articles live in the shop but missing at every supplier – supplier V: +9% on one group · Competitor prices: 7 articles more than 5% below ours. Nothing else found.

A silent supplier is more dangerous than an expensive one — which is why a missing feed is a finding, not a wait.

What we do not do

We do not replace the platform or move prices by ourselves.

The shop stays where it is — WooCommerce, OpenCart, Shopify or whatever you run. We do not rewrite the site.

Automatic selling-price changes are not included by default. Pricing that moves on its own is the fastest way to sell something at the wrong price at 3am. We propose the change; you release it.

Neighbouring flows

These usually travel together.

Questions

What people usually ask.

Does it work with our platform?

Usually yes — the sync runs over an API or over a file, depending on what the platform supports. Which of the two applies to you is checked at the audit.

Our supplier has no API, only Excel by email.

That is the most common case and it is solvable: the file is read from the mailbox and translated to your articles. A missing file for the day is itself a finding.

Can it change prices automatically against competitors?

Technically yes, but we do not recommend it to start with. Automatic pricing fails expensively and quietly. Begin with proposals you approve and decide after a few weeks.

How many suppliers is too many?

There is no ceiling — each supplier is one more rule, not a new project. If anything the reverse is true: with one supplier manual work is bearable, with five it is not.
