Can anyone suggest me a good inventory management too for BFCM. I have 2 stores on shopify and 1 each on amazon and etsy. I want a tool that helps me sync inventory of all these stores, helps me with POs and also gives low stock alerts.

I’d highly recommend checking out Sumtracker.

It’s built specifically for multichannel inventory management and works really well if you’re selling on multiple platforms. Here’s how it fits what you described:

  • Real-time inventory sync: Sumtracker links SKUs across all your stores (including multiple Shopify stores, Amazon, and Etsy) so when something sells on one channel, stock updates everywhere automatically.

  • Low stock alerts: You can set custom reorder points, and the system will notify you before items run out, super useful ahead of BFCM when sales can spike.

  • Purchase orders: It has a full PO module so you can create and track supplier orders directly inside the app, even for multiple warehouses or fulfillment locations

  • Extra features: It also supports bundles/kits, multi-location stock, demand planning, and detailed reports

Thanks! Will definitely check it out

Hey! For multi-store setups like yours (Shopify + Amazon + Etsy), syncing inventory and managing POs efficiently is key during BFCM.

You might want to check out Zotasell — while it’s known for AI upsells, it also integrates well with Shopify and supports smart product grouping, which can help streamline inventory visibility and boost AOV. For full inventory sync, pairing it with a tool like Sumtracker or Trunk could give you the best of both worlds: operational control + conversion optimization.

Let me knowif you want help mapping it out!

Hey, if you’re managing inventory across Shopify, Amazon, and Etsy, especially heading into BFCM, you’ll want something that syncs stock in real time and helps avoid overselling.

I’ve seen great results with Webgility, which not only keeps inventory synced across all your channels but also create POs when stock hits reorder points. It’s built for multichannel sellers and integrates directly with your accounting software too, so you don’t have to reconcile manually later. It might be overkill, but if you’re processing thousands of orders, it won’t break a sweat during BFCM.

@webgility_hq You are literally self promoting by saying “I’ve seen great results”, you can just straight up say this is my app and all.

Hey, this is not about self promotion. I’ve used other tools too for this purpose. But I’ve seen impressive results for clients who switched from other solutions to Webgility for syncing inventory across channels.
