Split Shipment - Prompt Second Order For WMS

Split Shipment - Prompt Second Order For WMS

We're a small business with two warehouses that use two seperate WMS systems. One is Logiwa and one is Extensiv. Our PA warehouse uses Logiwa and our GA warehouse uses Extensiv. Our shopify links to both but we are having 2 issues with the extensiv integration. 

1. It is pulling ALL orders into it system and eating inventory. Is there a way to ONLY push certain states/territories into the Extensiv system

2. When there is a split ship due to inventory shortage our GA warehouse is asking for the Shopify order to create a secondary order when split. This happens automatically with Logiwa creating a backorder and then I can switch the warehouse to GA to fulfill but I'm unsure what to tell them in Extensiv.

The reality is you need to shed one or both of your WMS in favor of a solution to manage this all in one. If you are open to this approach you should look into SKUSavvy which is a WMS built for Shopify that will handle both of these warehouses and the split order fulfillments. With SKUSavvy in place you can set the initial order routing through Shopify and then each warehouse will receive the respective order fulfillment so that each part of the order can be fulfilled and inventory removed from the respective location. 

 

SKUSavvy is designed to be flexible in billing and in operation. You will be able to manage purchasing and forecasting, bin management for inventory, as well as the full pick-pack-ship process. 

 

Bottom line is that running two WMS will always cause issues because a WMS is designed to be the source of truth for inventory and having two will always deliver discrepancies, additional cost, and too many cooks in the kitchen so to speak.
