Multi Channel Online Selling made easy!

With a number of online selling platforms available to sellers today, you need not limit yourself to selling through one marketplace alone. You can sell a few or all of your products in as many marketplaces as you want. But questions arise like – How do I manage my inventory across all the platforms? How do I manage orders coming from the different platforms? How do I ensure the deliveries are not mixed up?

Recognising the criticality, multi channel online selling was one of the key topics of discussion in our IOS Sellers Meetup in Mumbai on Jun 21st. Irrespective of the number of platforms you may sell through or the number of SKUs you may have, Dr. Piyush Goel (PhD in Artificial Intelligence, co-founder of Browntape) had the answer to making multi channel online selling easy and hassle free – Browntape software.

Before that, he guided us through the Online Selling Lifecycle.

Sure, you probably already have spreadsheets to help you with this or some other traditional method. But as you scale up, are you finding it difficult to keep up with the speed of your sales? Or are you able to achieve the sales you would like to have?

Maybe you are spending too much time in keeping track of inventory or printing. Maybe its getting in the way of your customer service. Why compromise when technology can help you in so many ways.

• Technology can give you a single console, which will automate processes like keeping track of inventory and orders, labels and manifests etc. So you can save time and won’t have to compromise on the time needed for customer service or business expansion.
  
• When you want to expand your product catalogue, technology can help you to do so instantly by clicking on a few buttons. Five buttons/options sound better than five different processes to add SKUs right?
• Are you operating the right way? Instead of going to each marketplace you have listed on to track orders, technology will collate everything in one dashboard. One click is much easier than multiple clicks and tabs right?

So the use of technology translates into more time in your hands to make your customers feel special. And when they feel special, they will buy more which will add to your happiness !
