Order Entry Software Reccomendation?
We are an FBA seller of food products we manufacture. Experiencing amazing growth. The 1000’s of orders we are getting per week are taking up a lot of man hours to input into our order/inventory/invoicing system. Can anyone recommend a software program that I can have my IT dept look into that can help automate this process? I admit I’m a sales guy and don’t know what systems we use, so I’m wide open for software suggestions that I can pass along.
Thanks in advance

If you have any programmers on staff, my advice would be to roll your own.

How many platforms are you selling on?

Currently we only have 35 skus listed on Amazon. This a small but growing part of our business- on track to be 7 figures this year in E-Commerce. The majority of our business is Brick & Mortar stores from Wal-mart nationally, all the major grocery chains, Specialty Food Distributors down to running our own DSD to trucks about 1500 independent grocers within a couple hundred mile radius of our production and warehouse facility.

You said you are an FBA seller. Why are you tracking each order? I can see wanting to know daily/weekly/monthly order volumes. That info you can get from Amazon reports. Then fake a daily order to a fake Amazon buyer for that quantity.
You are basically doing something like that with orders to B&M and other stores.

Accounting departments/people sometimes need a little shaking. Too anal. Good for a lot of things, $s wasted for others. It is not like your website, that feeds an order sytem and you automatically get all the info. Instead you have xxx orders that Amazon ships a day. There are, hopefully very few returns, and at the end of the day the answer is $$. No one should care if there were 8 or 800 or 8 million shipments that day. It really is all units, dollars, and yes some returns. Oh and the fees that you had that day.
It really does not mater to the reporting how many Bobs, Toms, Juans, Marys etc bought that day. At least to accountants. Sales would probably like the data on males versus females, states, guessed nationalitity by name or address.
It really all comes down to…how many of xyz widgets did we sell today, this week, etc. How much profit was there. And yes, we sent into Amazon xxx and did they lose any. There are reports that will fill that answer.
My earlier answer fixed the system part. One buyer per day. Hopefully, holy cow, that Generic Amazon Buyer, he/she/it buys a lot of our stuff.
