Never manually update inventory again.

Want to presell a new product starting Friday at midnight, but want to plan and setup ahead of time so it "just works" at midnight? That’s how the largest brands on Shopify are utilizing ChannelApe right now!

Maybe you need to reserve inventory for an influencer or B2B order, but only until Friday by close of business? Then have it automatically go back your ecomm channel? 

Or maybe you need to prevent overselling during that next flash sale?

What ChannelApe Offers

  • Expiration & effective dates of adjustments allow you to plan for sales, protect inventory, and prevent upset customers.
  • On Order & Reserve status to help you effectively control oversell situations (whether planned presales or preventing unwanted oversale).
  • Ohh yeah, and this all syncs to Shopify and other sales channels, in real-time!

SOLVE COMMON PROBLEMS

Common Use Cases

OVER-SELLING

Make every $ of CAC count

Keep NPS above 9 and get smarter with inventory reserves that expire, so you can make overselling a thing of the past. You can't afford to lose customers.

PRE-SELLING

Sell before inventory hits the warehouse

And prevent the headache that comes after. Enter what is coming in, an effective date, and just "let it run" without any more effort.

LOWER AGE

Faster turns = better cashflow

Never let inventory get stuck in a "virtual location". Keep fulfillment partners honest based on returns monitoring. When visibility of all inventory is in one place, turns happen faster.

MULTI-LOCATION

Save shipping $$ + CO2 emissions

It's impossible to fulfill from more than one  location unless you have the right visibility into inventory. But shipping from Mexico to NYC and back for returns isn't really fair to mother earth.

 

 

REPORTING

Get easy access to your past data

With our industry leading Business Intelligence powered by Looker, you'll have easy access to slice and dice your data without an in house team and 6 figure budgets.

PLANNING

You can't improve what you don't measure

Our built in data lake and BI will give you the raw data you need to make better decisions.

REALTIME SYNC

No apps or syncing to think about

It "just works" without having to worry about how it'll sync. Want to "disable" a SKU or set of SKUs from updating? Easy, add a reserve or on order adjustment with expiration. Never forget to re-enable.

FLASH SALES

Release reserves of final units to limit overselling

Utilize our expiration and effective dates for adjustments to control the over-sell likelihood that leads to poor NPS.

FAQ

Need clarification?

Can this still update my ERP?

Yes! Our solution becomes the intra-day source of truth for inventory, the system you use to control inventory. While ERP becomes the inter-day source of truth for long term financial ledgers. ChannelApe is not a financial management system, it is a DTC Inventory and Order management solution that complements ERPs like Netsuite or SAP.

Can you connect to {x}?

As long as it isn't a fax machine or paper and pencil, yes. We've supported all types of warehouses with X12/AS2, SFTP/Flat File, REST/HTTP and SOAP/XML. The connection to the warehouse doesn't matter, that is the easy part. Same with ERP and Finance. We update ERPs after the movements for the day are over so it has a clean ledger which makes monthly closes faster, easier and more accurate.

What is ATP?

Available to Promise (ATP) is the uncommitted portion of a company’s inventory and planned production maintained in the master schedule to support customer-order promising. It allows a business to keep the minimum amount of a given product within their warehouses so that the use of the inventory space is efficient.

One solution for all your inventory
