Why Inventory Management in Fulfil vs. Standalone Tools
For growing brands: Shopify inventory works until you add warehouses and channels. Standalone inventory tools add multi-location support but create another system disconnected from accounting—you're manually syncing COGS, reconciling inventory values, and guessing at true profitability. Fulfil connects inventory to your complete ERP—every inventory movement updates your financials in real-time.
| Capability | Shopify Inventory | Standalone Tools (Extensiv, Cin7) | Fulfil ERP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope | Basic stock tracking | Multi-channel inventory + order management | ✓ Complete ERP: inventory + financials + fulfillment |
| COGS tracking | No real-time COGS | Limited COGS, manual sync to accounting | ✓ Real-time COGS updated on every transaction |
| Financial integration | None—requires separate accounting system | Export to QuickBooks or Xero (manual reconciliation) | ✓ Native accounting: inventory movements = GL postings |
| True profitability | Can't see margin by SKU | See margin, but COGS may be stale | ✓ Real-time margin by SKU, channel, warehouse |
| System complexity | Simple but limited | Another system to manage and sync | ✓ All in your ERP—one system |
Replace Manual Inventory Headaches
Track every unit from PO to sale to COGS posting—across warehouses, 3PLs, stores, and channels. Real-time inventory synced to your financials, so you always know: what you have, where it is, what it cost, and what margin you're making.
No more spreadsheet COGS tracking
COGS updates automatically on every inbound shipment, production run, and sale. No more month-end inventory value reconciliation—inventory value in your ERP matches your GL at all times.
See true profitability by SKU
See true profitability by SKU after landed costs, channel fees, and fulfillment costs. Know which SKUs have the highest margin, which tie up cash, and where your excess stock vs. stockout risk is.
Intelligent allocation based on business rules
Allocate inventory using rules that consider warehouse proximity, inventory age, channel-specific allocation, multi-location availability, and cost optimization—not just geography.
Control what inventory appears on each channel without faking numbers
Control channel inventory based on warehouse mappings, inbound stock, buildable quantities, and custom rules—connected to your financials so you see true margin by channel after inventory costs.
Why Channel Inventory in Fulfil vs. Inventory Sync Apps
Inventory sync apps: Sync inventory counts between channels, but no financial integration—can't see COGS or true margin. Another system to manage and pay for.
Fulfil's native channel inventory: Connected to your financials—see true margin by channel after inventory costs. Native to your ERP—no separate sync tool. Safety stock and cutbacks built-in, no manual adjustments. One source of truth: your actual inventory remains accurate.

- Allocate inventory strategically across channels
- Optimize stock levels, pricing, and allocation decisions

Full Warehouse Management—Not Just Inventory Tracking
Most inventory tools track "how many units you have." Fulfil manages warehouses like a WMS: bin-level organization, RFID scanning, lot and batch tracking, automated replenishment, and quarantine locations.
Why this matters: As you scale, "we have 500 units somewhere in the warehouse" doesn't work anymore. Fulfil tracks inventory down to the bin level, so pickers know exactly where to go and cycle counts take minutes, not hours.
- Bin-level organization: Know exactly which bin, shelf, or pallet each SKU is on
- RFID scanning: Accelerate cycle counts with RFID technology (not just barcode scanning)
- Lot and batch tracking: Track expiration dates, production batches, and recall management
- Automated replenishment: Trigger bin replenishment when pick locations run low
- Quarantine locations: Isolate damaged or returned goods before reintegrating to inventory
Inventory Planning Powered by Real Financial Data
Most inventory tools forecast based on sales velocity alone. Fulfil forecasts based on sales velocity + margin + cash flow: see which SKUs are most profitable (not just fastest-selling), identify which products tie up cash in slow turnover, and prioritize reorders for high-margin SKUs.
Why this matters: A SKU selling 1,000 units/month at 10% margin might be less valuable than a SKU selling 200 units/month at 50% margin. Fulfil's inventory planner knows your true margins (from real-time COGS), so you can optimize inventory investment for profitability, not just sales volume.
- See which SKUs are most profitable (not just fastest-selling)
- Identify which products tie up cash in slow turnover
- Prioritize reorders for high-margin SKUs vs. low-margin volume movers
- Track supplier performance: on-time delivery, quality issues, landed cost trends
- Generate 6-month forecasts based on historical sales and margin data

How Growing Brands Use Inventory Management in Fulfil
$8M/year Shopify seller with two warehouses
Sells on Shopify with two warehouses (East Coast and West Coast). Shopify shows combined inventory, but Fulfil allocates orders to the nearest warehouse based on customer location.
Result: Finance sees inventory value by warehouse, turnover rate by location, and true shipping costs by fulfillment center. Orders automatically route to the closest warehouse based on customer zip code, reducing shipping costs by 23% and improving delivery times.
Online + 15 retail stores
Sells online and in 15 retail stores. Store inventory is tracked separately from warehouse inventory. Customers can buy online and pick up in-store (BOPIS) or return online orders in-store (BORIS).
Result: Fulfil tracks which stores generate the most BOPIS orders, which have the highest return rates, and true profitability by store vs. online—discovers stores with high foot traffic but low margins due to theft and markdowns.
Complex bundles across channels
Sells individual products ($40-80 each) and curated bundles across Shopify, Amazon, and wholesale. "Starter Kit" bundle includes 5 products (COGS $120, sells for $299). Each channel prices bundles differently—Amazon at lower margins, wholesale with volume discounts, DTC at full retail.
Result: Fulfil tracks true profitability by bundle type and channel, revealing that wholesale "Deluxe Bundles" actually have higher margins than DTC "Starter Kits" due to volume. Use this intelligence to inform marketing spend and inventory allocation decisions.
Bundle profitability analysis
Sells individual products and pre-made bundles (e.g., "Holiday Gift Set" with 4 products). Bundles have their own SKU and COGS (sum of individual product costs + assembly labor).
Result: Sees which bundles have the highest margin, which drive the most upsell, and which tie up too much inventory—decides to discontinue low-margin bundles and create new high-margin seasonal bundles instead.

Frequently asked questions
How does Fulfil integrate financial data with inventory management?
Fulfil offers seamless integration between financial and inventory modules. Real-time COGS tracking automatically updates your financial reports, while inventory transactions directly impact your general ledger, ensuring accurate financial statements and inventory valuation.
Can I migrate my existing inventory data into Fulfil?
Yes. During onboarding, we import your current inventory balances, SKU data, and bin locations. Historical transactions stay in your old system, but going forward, all inventory movements are tracked in Fulfil. Most brands are fully migrated and operational within a few weeks.
Does Fulfil replace my WMS (Warehouse Management System)?
For most brands, yes. Fulfil includes bin-level organization, RFID scanning, cycle counts, lot tracking, and automated replenishment—all the core WMS features growing brands need. If you're using a dedicated WMS like Manhattan or Blue Yonder for complex multi-floor warehousing, Fulfil can integrate via API. But for brands with 1-5 warehouses, Fulfil's built-in WMS is usually sufficient.
Can Fulfil help manage inventory across multiple warehouses or locations?
Absolutely. Fulfil provides inventory visibility across all your locations. It supports automated inventory allocation rules to optimize fulfillment across channels and locations and offers tools to manage transfers between locations efficiently.
Can Fulfil handle complex product structures like bundles and kits?
Yes, Fulfil offers robust bundle and kit management features. You can easily create and manage complex product offerings, track buildable quantities for made-to-order items, and even support subscription orders for bundled products.
How does Fulfil support omnichannel fulfillment strategies like BOPIS and BORIS?
Fulfil's omnichannel fulfillment support includes built-in capabilities for Buy Online, Pick-up In-Store (BOPIS) and Buy Online, Return In-Store (BORIS). These features integrate seamlessly with your existing systems to provide flexible customer options.
