Situation or Problem To Be Resolved

iPosters were selling their products across multi-channels and through their own web-site. The company wanted to find a system which could control the whole processes of ordering and inventory management from one place. Instead of manually dealing with each selling channel and the web-site, the company needed one centralized stock repository which was able to control inventory levels (purchasing, restocking of inventory from suppliers) and instantly update stock levels on all channels to prevent any overselling.

Solution

After installing the Linnworks Order Management and Stock Control system iPosters started to fulfil orders with one single point of integration. All orders from all selling venues were displayed in one place, just as required. The system allowed to adjust stock levels in the process of selling and the information was relayed via easy to understand stock level indicators. This resulted in greatly reducing the risk of overselling.

Why Linnworks?

The implementation of Linnworks Anywhere system within iPosters business practise resulted in an overall rising of efficiency and improved stock control which freed up time for focusing on increasing sales.

The support provided throughout the process by Linnworks also helped to address all iPoster’s requirements promptly and to receive helpful answers in an efficient and timely manner, which greatly helped to operate company’s business normally even when problems occurred.
