Consignment Inventory Software designed for optimizing, streamlining, and growing consignment business operations.
A consignment business is a supply chain model in which a product is sold by a retailer but the ownership of said product is retained by the supplier until when and if that product is sold. Seasonal, perishable, and previously owned goods like musical instruments, athletic equipment, and so on are typical for consignment business models.
As any other product-selling business, ensuring there is a proper consignment inventory software in place is a key strategy for promoting productivity and fostering growth. For consignment companies, precise and accurate inventory management is a crucial aspect for a solid working relationship between the supplier (consignor) and the retailer (consignee). Purchasing management and robust reporting are also key features for ensuring success.
