Accurate balance control is necessary for the stable operation of the seller on marketplaces. Errors in the quantity of goods lead to cancellations of orders, lower ratings, and incorrect purchases. The larger the range, the more difficult it is to maintain up-to-date data manually. Fulfillment helps automate the process and provides the seller with accurate information about the availability of goods in real time.
The first element of control is the recording of all operations. At the fulfillment warehouse, the balances are updated after each operation: acceptance, placement, relocation, assembly and shipment. The system immediately displays the changes, which eliminates discrepancies between the actual and digital quantity of the product. This is especially important when working with a large number of SKUs or with high turnover.
The second element is data automation. Fulfillment integrates with marketplaces and transmits information directly. Data on balances is updated in the site systems automatically, which reduces the risk of manual input errors. The seller sees the same numbers as the marketplace, and can quickly respond to changes in demand.
The third aspect concerns procurement planning. When balances are accurately displayed, the seller can analyze sales dynamics, calculate the need for new shipments, and avoid excess inventory. The system provides reports on the turnover and popularity of products. This helps to adjust the assortment and purchases, reduce costs and maintain the availability of goods on the marketplace.
For some products, balance control is especially critical. For example, for categories with a limited shelf life, for fashion collections, or for products that quickly go out of sale. Fulfillment provides control over batches, expiration dates, and distribution by zone. The seller receives notifications about the impending inventory reduction, which helps maintain the assembled assortment.
Fulfillment also reduces the number of transfers. When the products are placed correctly and each cell has its own barcode, the probability of incorrect selection is reduced. Scanning at each stage allows you to avoid picking errors and maintain correct accounting of balances. This is important for sellers who work with similar SKUs.
Working with refunds deserves special attention. When returning the product, the remaining balance must be updated immediately. Fulfillment records the fact of the return, checks the condition of the product and places it in storage. If the product can be returned to sale, the balance is updated automatically. This accelerates turnover and helps to maintain stable availability of goods.
Inventory control is also related to inventories. Fulfillment conducts regular checks and compares the actual
