Purchasing Software for Growing Ecommerce Businesses
Too often, multichannel ecommerce sellers struggle to keep up with purchase orders, vendor communication, receiving merchandise, and reconciliation. Descartes aims to lift this burden, offering purchasing software to automate purchasing workflows so you can focus on growing your business.
The best businesses rely on Descartes to solve purchasing challenges
Prevent stockouts and missed sales
Descartes predictive purchasing software can help you keep the right amount of stock on-hand. Automatically determine needed quantities based on demand or low inventory, create purchase orders and send them to vendors.
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.
