Refreshing Inventory Levels At The End Of Your Project

When migrating product data to platforms like Amazon, Walmart, or Shopify, it is important to maintain the day-to-day updates in your database. That means once the initial data has been pulled, the dynamic portions like pricing, and inventory quantities are completely out of date. But don’t fret, we have the perfect process to solve this issue. Once your product data has been moved, your Shopify store or Marketplace catalog has been created (Amazon and Walmart) then we’ll take a fresh inventory feed from your existing source database and bulk match SKU-to-SKU to add inventory and pricing levels that have been changed since the original data was captured.

Depending on if you are migrating your website or just adding some products to Walmart, here are your options below. Let your project manager know what you would like to do to refresh your inventory.

Walmart Inventory Refresh

• Run a fresh Open Listings report and we'll match the inventory levels.
• Use the existing Open Listings report that was provided to us at the beginning of the project.
• Put a blanket flat number e.g. 50 on all inventory.
• Leave everything at 0 so you can add inventory yourself.
• You're going to connect a third-party system so leave everything at 0.
• Provide us with a separate inventory spreadsheet that has matching SKUs.

Website Migration (Shopify & BigCommerce)

• Export exact inventory numbers from your existing website.
• Put a blanket flat number e.g. 50 on all inventory.
• Leave everything at 0 so you can add inventory yourself.
• You're going to connect a third-party system so leave everything at 0.
• Provide us with a separate inventory spreadsheet that has matching SKUs.

Blanket Inventory Numbers or Multi-Channel Managers

In some cases, you may just want a blanket number e.g., 50 on all items. Or you may have a third-party channel management software that you'll use to sync your inventory across several channels. If that is the case, then you can request for us to add a blanket number or just leave inventory at "0" if you have a channel manager. In the case of a channel manager, the critical part of the migration is to be sure the SKU is a 100% match, which is something we make sure of. These types of inventory management systems do an SKU-to-SKU match when syncing the inventory between channels. So you'll be all set to connect the system to your new site or marketplace channel.
