Inventory System Not Supported? This Is Your Solution

You probably recognize this scenario. A new channel or marketplace seems perfect, but your inventory system isn't on their list of standard integrations. Manually transferring product data? That's not a scalable plan. We see this every day with our customers. The solution isn't replacing your system, but adding an intelligent layer on top of it. A layer that automates. Inventory system not supported? This is your solution: an automated content and distribution hub that transforms your product data and sends it to ANY desired channel. Hassle-free.

Basics & Preparation: The Source is King

Everything starts with one central, rich source. Often, this is your Product Information Management (PIM) system, an advanced Excel file, or even a custom database. It doesn't matter what inventory system you use. We connect to it—via an API, an export file, or a direct database connection. The art lies in enriching all that raw data—SKUs, prices, inventory. With translated descriptions, unique marketing texts, or specifications for each sales channel. That’s the preparation. A one-time setup. From there, things move quickly.

Together, we create a content calendar. Which product lines need to go live and when? Any seasonal campaigns on the horizon? We load that schedule into the system. And then we start.

Automation & Distribution: The Machine is Running

Now comes the power. Optimized product data is not uploaded manually. Our system takes over. It translates the information into the correct format for each channel. Think Shopify, Bol.com, Amazon, Google Shopping, or social media ads. It distributes the content based on the defined rhythm. Two new products per day on your website? A weekly bulk update to all marketplaces? It's all possible. You remain in control, but the work happens automatically. Even if a channel doesn’t 'officially' support your inventory system, our hub acts as a universal translator and courier.

Quality, Rhythm & Trust

Automation should never compromise quality. That's why we build in checks—and maintain human oversight. Rhythm is crucial. Too little content, and you disappear from search results. Too much, and you overwhelm your followers. We find the sweet spot. Usually, it's between 8 and 15 optimized product updates per week, spread across 4 to 5 channels. As for costs? A fully managed system starts at approximately €347 per month. A no-obligation demo will show you exactly what it could mean for your revenue. No guarantees, but a clear plan.

Practical Tips

• Tip: Start with one ‘difficult’ channel that doesn’t connect seamlessly. Solve that with automation first. The experience you gain will easily scale to other platforms.
• Tip: Keep your content source simple. One master file or system is enough. Automate from that point—not from six different places. This saves hours of error correction.
• Tip: Schedule not only product uploads but also maintenance. An automatic reminder to check prices and inventory every 94 days keeps your channels accurate without manual stress.

Practical Case from Eindhoven

A sanitary goods wholesaler in Eindhoven was using a specific ERP system. Their key B2B portal didn’t support it. Manually uploading CSV files consumed nearly 11 hours a week for one employee—and led to errors. We created a link between their ERP and our platform. The system now automatically fetches inventory and prices daily, enriches the products with technical specs, and publishes them to the B2B portal—all without manual intervention. The result? Those 11 hours of manual work are now 0. Product data is consistent. And they saw a 31.6% increase in lead generation through the portal in the first quarter because products were online faster and more accurately.
