You have a thriving eCommerce business, and it’s time to expand it to a new market or even increase product distribution through affiliate marketing. How are you going to keep track of your inventory?

Simple. A Cloud Inventory Management System helps you monitor and maintain your inventory levels online. Traditionally, inventory management is time-consuming and one of the most tedious, least popular tasks carried out by eCommerce businesses.

It is boring, filled with errors and issues, and it diverts resources from more important aspects of the business. With inventory solutions designed with users in mind, you can drive growth to your brand without worrying about the dragging task.

Here are some tools that we propose with reasonable pricing:

MurHo, Unleashed, Cin7, SiteGiant

Another awesome feature of these cloud inventory systems is the ability for your sales invoice to automatically manage inventory. Yes, easy, clean automation for your business operations.

Other advanced features include barcode labeling, production process management for raw materials and finished products, excess inventory forecasting, advanced stock value reports, and stock level planning to reduce waste.

Apart from that, you can integrate MurHo with multiple channels simultaneously; across online marketplaces such as Shopee, Lazada, and eBay; your own website store; Shopify and Magento; as well as some cloud Point-of-Sales software (POS) integrations.

Such cloud inventory systems offer technical support to ensure your growing business runs smoothly without interruption. You may pay additional fees for more comprehensive customer support, for instance, phone support or on-site support.
