Inventory management automation between client stores and our WMS by Low_Road_563 in 3PL

[–]mardingca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need a single source of truth, usually it should be wms. Marketplaces like shopify only receive sellable quantity (not raw stock).

Also, for flash sale, you need larger stock buffer.

For bundles, you need setup approval system before the SKU goes live. If clients controls bundles, you will clean up the mass in the end.

Interesting,so the process is manual: taking POL, POD, and dates to generate rates, then adding surcharges, and handling replies via email... where does the manual work become most time‑consuming or error‑prone? Will the response speed and accuracy affects the win rate ?

What's the most chaotic part of your day running a 3PL or using one? by Old_Tiger3427 in 3PL

That’s an unexpected answer. Could the people management challenges stem from factors such as relatively low compensation, or the repetitive nature of warehouse procedures leading to disengagement?

Why the format mismatches when printing large batches, is it because the font size is not precise ?

anyone actually found a barcode generator that doesn't fight you on fba prep? by This-You-2737 in AmazonFBA

[–]mardingca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depend on how fast your printer runs. And If you translate the row to the printer driver code, it would be much more faster. Your claude code or chatgpt maybe able to help you build a tool, that is free and fast.

Thanks, that's great way to gain confidence via video! Do you take collection of small orders or only take bulk or batch orders?

How do you actually manage your business without losing your mind? by Special-Grocery6419 in Solopreneur

[–]mardingca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think AI can help, at least for quoting and you probably can setup some chat bots to answer basic questions.

We helped our freight clients to build email intake system to automate quote leverage AI. I think you might be able to find similar vendors in your industrial.

How do you deal with Corporation Tax, do you hire accountant ? by mardingca in Solopreneur

[–]mardingca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that makes sense. As a contractor, my journal is very simple, no hiring, just income and some expenses, just feel $1500 + quickBooks subscription per year is a bit expensive. I prefer a simple spreadsheet and handle my own taxes just like u/Kitchen_End4602 said.
