Smart Purchasing for Online Retailers

40 Years of Retail Expertise

Buying the Stock You Need, When You Need It

eTail Support's smart purchasing functionality embodies 40 years of online retail expertise. The system calls it "Goldilocks Purchasing" — not too much, not too little, but exactly the right amount of stock.

How Smart Purchasing Works

• Analyses your actual sales velocity by SKU and channel
• Factors in supplier lead times and minimum order quantities
• Calculates optimum reorder points and quantities automatically
• Generates purchase orders with a single confirmation click
• Uploads and compares supplier price lists to find best deals
• Prevents stockouts while minimising capital tied up in inventory

Predictive Purchasing Automation

For high-volume operations, eTail Support can run purchasing on autopilot — raising and emailing purchase orders to suppliers automatically when stock reaches reorder levels. Full audit trail maintained throughout.

Multi-Currency Purchasing

Buy from suppliers worldwide in their local currency. eTail Support handles the conversion, calculates the true landed cost including duties and freight, and reconciles everything into your base currency accounts automatically.
