Order Management and Fulfillment

  • Automated Order Processing

    Integrate your eCommerce platform (e.g., Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento) with ERP, CRM, and warehouse systems to automatically process customer orders. Flowgear ensures that orders are seamlessly transferred from the online store to inventory, warehouse, and shipping systems, minimizing delays and errors.

  • Order Status Sync

    Automatically sync order statuses between eCommerce platforms and customer-facing portals, ensuring customers can track their purchases in real time. Flowgear keeps order data up to date across systems, reducing customer inquiries and improving satisfaction.

  • Multi-Channel Order Consolidation

    Integrate your eCommerce platform with sales channels like Amazon, eBay, and Etsy to consolidate orders from multiple platforms into a single workflow. Flowgear enables you to manage all orders from different sales channels in one place for efficient fulfillment.

Inventory Management and Stock Synchronization

  • Real-Time Inventory Sync

    Connect your eCommerce platform with ERP or warehouse management systems (WMS) to ensure that stock levels are updated in real time across all sales channels. Flowgear prevents overselling by ensuring that customers can only purchase what is available in inventory.

  • Automated Stock Replenishment

    Flowgear can automate stock replenishment by integrating eCommerce systems with suppliers or procurement tools. When inventory reaches a predefined threshold, the system automatically triggers purchase orders, ensuring your warehouse stays stocked.

    Automatically generate invoices and sync them with accounting platforms (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero) once an order is placed or fulfilled. Flowgear streamlines the billing process, ensuring that your financial records are always accurate and up to date.

    For businesses that sell internationally, Flowgear can connect eCommerce platforms with customs and duty management tools to calculate tariffs, taxes, and shipping costs for international orders. This ensures that your customers see accurate prices and shipments comply with customs regulations.

  • Compliance with Data Privacy Laws

    Integrate your eCommerce platform with data privacy management tools to automate customer data handling in compliance with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, or POPIA. Flowgear automatically updates customer preferences, data deletion requests, and consent management across systems.
