There’s no denying that Magento lets you manage different websites and store-view with ease. In other words, let’s say you have an ecommerce platform with thousands of products on display on a single Magento platform. Such a large number of products on a single platform create confusion. The solution is that you can still have all your products online by creating different web-store for different products.
With help of Magento you can do this with ease. Magento helps you create multiple stores and allows you to link it to the main platform. Thus, you get a central inventory system from where you can manage all your web stores and products easily. Whether you have a B2B or B2C model, Magento development can come in handy in both the cases.
Also, you have commercial Magento Multi-Warehouse extension available at an minimal rate with all the inbuilt feature set for multi-stock management including associating customers with warehouses and websites/stores with warehouses, doing automatic order routing to warehouses to avoid shipping costs, shipping methods per warehouse, notification about orders to all warehouses, list of products per warehouse, low-stock products per warehouse etc. Also, commercial Magento Advanced Inventory extension offers all the basic features to expect from a multi-stock solution, and has some nice GUI details to make working with it comfortable.
The great features:
-
You can assign “places” (warehouse/shop) to Magento store views. Orders done in these store views can then automatically lead to a deduction of the stock from the local stock of the assigned place. This routing can also be refined based on the customer’s country and ZIP location.
-
You can also do the “order routing” manually after the order comes in.
-
You can use arrow buttons to increase and decrease stock levels in both the individual product view and the “Catalog -> Manage Stocks” overview.
-
You can have an automatic Google Maps integration to show your stores to the users.
-
It displays on the front-end how much stock is available in what store.
-
Keep an “online stock level”per-warehouse levels which are automatically or manually synced to the online level the latter being the sum. This seems to be to prohibit overselling while incoming orders are not yet assigned to a warehouse but it also helps to avoid errors in stock transfers. Because the “Catalog -> Manage Stocks” tells you how much to add / subtract to another warehouse to keep the sum intact. You can however also disable the separate “online stock level”.
With these amazing features, you get a robust Magento ecommerce solution that in turn helps you to boost your sales, save cost, time thus making Magento a win-win solution for you. So, what are you waiting for? Contact us today for Magento development services…!
