Product Catalog
Product Manager is more than just a repository for your product information. This solution empowers you to flexibly manage your inventory of goods while maintaining independence between them. You can create distinct catalogs (product inventories), and seamlessly synchronize them with your stores or external wholesalers. With Product Manager, you can effortlessly integrate additional information such as language, price group, or manage different inventory quantities across various locations for the same product. You have the option to enable stock reservation, ensuring automatic control over product availability immediately upon order receipt. For those requiring advanced management capabilities, including support for storage documentation and the ability to block manual changes, BaseLinker also offers this comprehensive option.
Product Manager as ERP
BaseLinker's Product Manager can serve as a base ERP system, particularly suited for businesses with requirements related to deliveries, inventory management, and storage documentation. You don't need extensive expertise to harness the power of this feature. Through Inventory Control, any modification in your product assortment, batch acceptance, or product releases is meticulously recorded within the system. Moreover, the system autonomously generates the corresponding warehouse operations. The system itself ensures SKU uniqueness and restricts manual adjustments to stock levels. Changes are exclusively allowed through creation of an appropriate document, ensuring precision and control over inventory management.
Product Manager as WMS
BaseLinker offers real-time inventory visibility and ensures inventory synchronization across various sales channels, eliminating the risk of selling items that are out of stock. Moreover, our Product Manager streamlines warehouse operations, enabling comprehensive management from goods receipt to release. Furthermore, it enhances accuracy during the packing process through the Packing Assistant feature, which organizes products into carts, monitors the packed product list, flags errors, and even matches cardboardsizes to product dimensions.
Product Manager as a PIM
Product Manager also boasts PIM (Product Information Management) functionality, consolidating all product information into a single repository and affording you the ability to manage distinct product data for each channel and language. For instance, you can establish unique product descriptions for Ebay and Amazon, and even differentiate between various Amazon accounts or storefronts. When listing products on various marketplaces, the system automatically retrieves the description in the corresponding language. Through these connections, any change in the status or price of an item in stock will trigger corresponding changes in the status and price on marketplace platforms and in your stores.
Automatic Actions
Automatic Actions represent one of BaseLinker's key features, designed to save time, reduce order errors, enhance customer service, and boost overall business efficiency. This feature comprises predefined event sequences that eliminate the need for manual, repetitive tasks – the system takes care of them on your behalf. You can also apply these actions to products. Whether it involves alerting you when a product's stock falls below a predetermined threshold, creating a reservation, or generating a product-related printout, you can easily configure rules to optimize efficiency. You can program your own automated events, or choose from a variety of pre-configured system automation options.
Variants
BaseLinker enables you to incorporate an unlimited number of product variants, such as different colors or sizes, within your Catalog. Importantly, each variant is treated as an independent product complete with its own set of photos, price, and stock levels. This functionality empowers you to efficiently organize your product offerings by associating variants with their parent products. While variants inherit information from the parent product, you have the flexibility to customize them to align with your specific requirements. Furthermore, when it comes to listing your products on various marketplaces, such as Amazon, eBay, and Etsy, you can effortlessly include these variants in your listings.
Product Bundles
You can also create bundles based on existing single products in the Catalog. Such a set can include several different products or multiples of one. The status of the bundle will be automatically calculated based on the availability of its components. Each bundle can have its own data - including descriptions, parameters, pictures, SKU, EAN, and price - separate from the products included in it. Associating an offer with a bundle will reduce the post-purchase stock for all component products.
Reservations / Pre-sales
This module provides the capability to reserve a product within the Catalog promptly upon the order's download into the system, even before the issuance of the sales document or the retrieval of goods from the warehouse shelves. This functionality proves invaluable, especially in situations where payment is pending. Additionally, it offers the flexibility to manually create reservations, thereby enhancing your inventory management control. Furthermore, this option proves advantageous when handling order cancellations before shipment, as it automatically removes the reservation and promptly restores stock levels. By utilizing this feature, you gain a comprehensive overview of reserved items and the convenience of easily editing and managing your inventory.
Multiple warehouses
If your business is expanding across multiple locations, demands control over diverse inventory types, or requires flexibility in monitoring purchase orders, you can establish multiple warehouses within a single Catalog. This feature enables precise segregation of products, whether they are distributed across different cities or housed in various buildings. This solution proves effective for maintaining distinct records for damaged or used products. It simplifies the process of merging different types of warehouses, ensuring data synchronization and precise inventory management. Not only does this option enhance inventory management, but it also promotes more efficient collaboration with partners and suppliers.
AI functions
Utilize BaseLinker's AI module to generate unique product names and descriptions in any language. Customize the style and length of content as needed. Need precise product feature lists? Our algorithm creates parameters based on available product data. Furthermore, streamline your workflow with AI-powered background removal from photos, drastically reducing the time required for product image editing. This represents another step in automating repetitive tasks, significantly reducing the time needed to create relevant product photos from hours to mere minutes.
Additional fields
