We are offering you automated inventory management and formatted product information and data from a network of drop ship suppliers. (In other words, we save you time and help you sell and manage more products which come directly from the suppliers.) We are a data solution provider for wholesale drop ship resellers, and we can act like your IT Department or Supply Chain Solution Provider.
We are not selling products. We do not mark-up products with hidden fees and have you order from us. We give you free access to the supplier details and we do not stand in-between you and your own supplier relationship. We sell our monthly data services for the supplier programs that you have selected which may include, standard file tool access, custom files in any format, full product and image loading to your current website, automated inventory updates applied on your live site, hosted site packages for those needing a web presence, as well as other custom programming or data needs.
Our data services help you with your existing website site or 3rd party market places, such as eBay, Yahoo! Stores, ProStores, osCommerce, Price Grabber, Shopzilla, CRE Loaded, Joomla, and many more. You can order your products from the verified suppliers in our network and they are your product distributor. We become your product DATA distributor providing you with data solutions so your catalog from multiple suppliers integrates with your site and coordinates with your various sales channels. Our data services make sure you have the latest products on your site with the latest quantity and price updates. Our services are month to month, with no long term contracts, and you can cancel at any time.

We offer our inventory services on a month to month basis and we call this a "subscription". Each subscription provides you formatted product information and product updating of a given supplier and incurs a monthly subscription charge.
We have different packages for different sellers, but you can register and see the products for free and learn more about which data solution is right for you. And, our informational membership account is ALWAYS free. We do not use a trick "free trial" where your account is "free" for a few days and then we charge you when you forget to cancel the account on-time. If you add a data service to your account a data service subscription for one supplier ranges from $25-$50/month, or you can browse the suppliers, guides, and more with your free account.
Also, there is no charge when you verify your account with the "Go Get Verified" link. When we say your account is free, we mean it. Charges are ONLY applied when you select a data subscription for your account and confirm your request.

. A challenge, but a great challenge, with our service offerings is that we are trying to help a very diverse group of resellers. Some clients sell only drop ship items. Some sell drop ship items with inventory that they store or manufacture themselves. Other online merchants combine drop ship products with services for local clients. Some of our clients have a "brick and mortar" store, others work from their home or office cubical. Our resellers work from a variety of locations, and as such, some are 9-5'ers, some work endlessly during the week, and some are what you might call "weekend warriors". With our download files, automation service, hosting packages, and custom design or custom files there is something for everyone.
If you are asking this question, you might be new to selling wholesale drop ship products, or you have not sold products in large volume. We often hear from people who have struggled for years selling products on-line. Then they find us, use our services, and they realize how much real value our services add to their business. If you do not physically possess the items that you sell in your own warehouse, such as with drop ship products, then what you are really selling is the product information to your customer and the sales and service you provide. Without accurate and high quality product information presented on your site, you do not have anything to offer your clients. The accuracy of the data on your site becomes part of your brand image.
Also, suppliers can change there price for multiple reasons. If you put a product on your site at $50 with a $10 mark-up and they raise the price to $60. You just lost all profit. However, if you use Inventory Source, you set your price settings. As your suppliers raise or lower the prices they charge you, we can raise or lower your prices on your site with your price setting to protect your profit margin. Also, your site will be one of the FIRST online to offer the new price or new products that are added to their catalogs. This gives you the traffic when people search for this product. Let all of the other resellers try to succeed with less accurate information or spend hours every day updating price and quantity lists while you promote your site and process your orders.
Quantity and status updates are needed, because there are few things that are more irritating for suppliers, resellers, and most importantly customers then trying to complete a sale for an out of stock product. Your feedback on marketplaces and even customer retention will be severely damaged when a custom tries to complete an order for a product that you have listed as available, but the supplier has as out-of stock. That is why we update these field, and can do this for you with the automation service, or give you the daily details in a file download service?
When it comes to selling drop ship products who have to know you have a trusted wholesale supplier source, and you need to ensure the price, quantity, and status of a product on your website are accurately listed on your site.
Not at all. We are a data service provider for drop ship resellers. This means we can serve as your IT Department or Supply Chain Solution for your ecommerce business. We actually help you avoid middle man sites and scams. We provide you with access to the suppliers that we have verified with your free account. You do not have to pay us for some list or directory of old links or fake programs. You will create accounts with your suppliers and order from them directly. We think this is the only way to help you ensure you have the lowest prices and are in real control over your supply chain. Creating an account with the suppliers can be done with a simple application form and is usually processed within 24 to 48 hours. Some "services" hide the supplier details, markup the wholesale costs, increase the shipping expenses, or add hidden fees....all of which can be avoided by working with the suppliers directly.
If you have a service which applies these fees or you order directly from their program, they are making money off your hard work and YOU are really selling for THEM, while they have the relationship with the wholesale supplier. Fake suppliers and middleman sites can be had to spot. Contact your suppliers to see how long they have been in business. Are you able to visit their company or the warehouses if they are local? Contact the manufacturers directly to see if they are an authorized distributor of their products. Contact the BBB or look for them in the Drop Ship Source Directory to find more information on their program. Of course, you can also create a free account and use our Inventory Browser tool to view verified supplier sources and get started growing your ecommerce business today. Inventory Source is your source for drop ship inventory data solutions. If you need something to help your business succeed, contact us and we will try to find a way to provide it for you.
