Best online platforms for multichannel sales for small and medium businesses
Successful small and medium businesses usually have several sales channels. If you want to have a stable business model, consider improving the variety of your sales channels. There are three main types of channels: offline store or business (brick and mortar), e-commerce, and online marketplaces.
There are different types of data that retailers need to synchronize between selling tools of different channels: orders, reports, inventory, and customer information.
Orders - you have to receive and process orders and sales from different channels.
Reports - you need to have consolidated sales data, that allows you to see statistics as a whole and the sales by different channels to evaluate their effectiveness.
Inventory - you need to update the inventory changes of your products from different sales, as well as to manage to order and receive products. This will prevent selling products that you do not have in stock.
Customers - you have to identify your customers and track their purchases from different channels.
We composed the list of online cloud-based platforms that can help businesses to manage multichannel sales.
