Inventory Source is an inventory management software company that specializes in the monitoring, integrating and updating product data from your dropship suppliers to your sales platform.
So to answer this main question with the above information in mind, we have access to your supplier’s feed and our systems monitor and update it by default 2x/day. However, we also provide a solution called optimized sync, available on Pro and Enterprise plans, which will monitor and update your feed as many times as the supplier updates their own. When we first integrate your supplier’s feed to your sales platform, we do a full image push to your site. This push includes all of the product details that can be found in the supplier’s feed. This includes the product’s prices, descriptions, images, categories, UPC and any other information that may be associated with that product. If any changes are done to the feed from the supplier throughout the day whether it’s price, quantity, status or new products, we will push that data to your site if your settings are set to allow this.
We also have services that we offer that can help you manage the feed with our Catalog Manager to give yourself and your customers more convenience. With Order Automation, variant and attribute mapping and custom files, we can manipulate the feed to best fit you and your customers.
Learn more about how our services work here.
Optimized sync pulls new data as often as it appears in the dropship supplier’s feed, to then be pushed as soon as possible to your store. How often the data is updated is dictated by how often the supplier updates their feed with new data. However, with optimized sync, you can be sure you are pulling this data as often possible.
If you are asking this question, you might be new to selling wholesale dropship products, or you have not sold products in large volume. We often hear from people who have struggled for years selling products online. 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 dropship 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, dropship suppliers can change their 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 this field and can do this for you with the automation service or give you the daily details in a file download service.
