Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureFashionbits EDI connects your store to your suppliers' EDI in both directions. A product catalog (PRICAT) becomes finished products, variants, barcodes and prices, without retyping. Delivery notes (DESADV) are booked as incoming transfers to your locations. In return, the app sends your suppliers sales reports (SLSRPT) and stock reports (INVRPT) built from your store data, so they can plan replenishment.
FlowStock keeps your inventory in sync with your suppliers. Every automation gets its own email address. Give it to your supplier, and each stock file they send is processed automatically: FlowStock reads SKUs and quantities from XML, CSV, or Excel feeds and updates inventory at the location you choose.
