As your orders flow from different channels, you can maintain common inventory across with Browntape. If you get an order from Flipkart for an SKU, it’s inventory is reduced in Browntape and Snapdeal, Amazon and other channels are updated of the new inventory level.

First step of inventory management is to setup the products with SKU codes in Browntape. Easily done via the bulk upload feature, but you can add them one by one too. You can also import your product list from Flipkart, Snapdeal, Amazon or other channels.

At times we don’t pay attention to SKU codes while listing. Ultimately, you could end up with different SKU codes on different channels and it’s hard to change them later. Browntape allows you to specify as many Aliases to an SKU code.

The Count of listings live on each channel keeps changing as they slip in and out of stock or are deactivated. The online seller needs to keep this in check. Browntape fetches an entire list of your live listings every 24 hours and shows you a report. You can act on channels where your listings are not live.

Stock could be reduced by an order or by someone in your staff who made a stock adjustment. Browntape allows these stock changes to be done easily, but maintains a record or each change. Think of it like a Stock Ledger for each SKU for inventory management.

Have stock in multiple warehouses, no problem. Browntape allows you to create multiple warehouses and allocate orders to one of them based on your business rules. Inventory for each SKU in each warehouse is maintained separately.

This feature is particularly useful for inventory management in Amazon FBA which is supported by Browntape.
