Send the right quantity to Amazon FBA


Use past Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) sales data and current FBA inventory to predict how much inventory you need to send to Amazon’s warehouses. Descartes software will calculate the precise quantity you need to restock for FBA.

Save time with purchase order software


No need to spend precious time and human resources on manually checking inventory and determining what to purchase. Descartes purchase order (PO) software automatically creates, sends, and tracks purchase orders so you can focus on growing your business.

“The purchase order starts in [Descartes] Sellercloud, then it goes to the vendor. When the vendor gets the purchase order, it ships the item. That updates Sellercloud, then, boom—the inventory is updated on all our sales channels. It’s awesome how it works.”

An amazing solution for multichannel

"What I like best about [Descartes] Sellercloud is the fact that purchasing and inventory management is in one system with all ecommerce marketplaces integration. It simplifies multiple tasks as I only have to list an item once, and then with a click on a button list it on all marketplaces. We avoid overselling, we can predict purchasing, and a lot more!”

One Solution for Inventory, Purchasing, Listing, and More

Road Entertainment was a multichannel ecommerce business, selling on Amazon, Walmart, Sears, and Newegg marketplaces, and its own website. When the company outgrew its self-built software, it was time to find an all-in-one solution.

Managing Purchasing and Inventory in One Place
First Choice Online sells a wide variety of products, from beauty products to electronics and pharmaceuticals. Before, as the business grew, it was harder to track processes, reporting was fractured, and they could not improve efficiency. What changed?

Efficiently Expanding from Amazon FBA to FBM

Palatize was an FBA (Fulfillment By Amazon) business selling groceries and household goods. When it expanded to Fulfilled By Merchant, the old ecommerce solution couldn’t keep up with purchase orders, listings, and fulfillment operations.
