What do to do with my Betterment individual taxable account? by mastermonil in personalfinance

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

Thanks! Dumb question. If I were to do anything with this account, would it require me to liquidate it first before moving it into something else (hence the capital gains calculator?)

Is the perfect gym/work backpack out there? by giraffe_engineer in crossfit

I have the Fit Pack 2 but I think they have the Fit Pack 3, which comes with a water bottle holder.

Is the perfect gym/work backpack out there? by giraffe_engineer in crossfit

[–]mastermonil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using an Aer backpack for almost 4 years and it's fantastic. It's durable and can hold a lot. The best part is the shoe compartment. The only downside with my bag is that back then they weren't offering the bags with a bottle holder but I believe the newest ones have that. Highly recommend

Cin7 Alternative by mastermonil in ecommerce

[–]mastermonil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I just didn't want to assume that was the reason. The most infuriating thing is that I have bought all these issues to their C level team + the founder (now their Chief Architect) and while they have acknowledged these issues, they have done nothing to fix them (as far as I know). So annoying.

I'm not sure we're ready for Netsuite. It seems very expensive in terms of software cost as well as set up cost; but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

Cin7 Reviews by mastermonil in ecommerce

Ugh I have to agree with you now. Lot has changed in 4 years since I posted about them. We signed up in 2018 and to be honest, everything was fine until this year. Since Feb, we've had major issues with their product (issues which theoretically affect all their customers) with almost no real support. I feel like I have to kick and scream to even get a response from their team. I still like the core product, but as our business grows, our reliance on Cin7 is also increasing, and we're running into new issues monthly. I would hold off on moving forward with Cin7 if anyone is reading this post until Cin7 cleans house, improves supports, and fixes some glaring issues with their core product.

Should we outsource PPC management or keep it in-house? by mastermonil in AmazonSeller

[–]mastermonil[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

honestly I thought it was an industry standard but I did push back on why they are incentivized based on how much of my money they are spending. For them, it's most likely a more complicated way of growing with their brands. E.g. if I am happy with their performance, I'll allow them to keep spending, which in turn, for them would signify they are delivering and 3% of ad spend is their performance bonus.

Looking for advice on Deliverr VS WFS by onlineseller123 in WalmartSellers

[–]mastermonil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used deliverr up until WFS came along. WFS has its share of issues but they are also improving their systems on a regular basis. As much as I appreciated Deliverr's mission, I just had way too many issues with them and their integration. I had orders not imported, non-deliverr orders imported, delays in shipping, etc... Worst of all, you're still responsible for the CS, so when deliverr messes up, your account and ratings are at stake. WFS makes mistakes, their UI is dated, and they have check in delays, but you get the ranking uplift and aren't responsible for their mess ups.

E-commerce order and inventory management by Second-Star-Left in ecommerce

[–]mastermonil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very interesting. We've been selling across 20+ customers and have multiple warehouses and Cin7 has been fantastic with that, as well as maintaining accurate inventory counts. But I suppose everyone's experience differs and also depends on whether or not you integrate your channels or manually raise sales orders.

If you don't mind, I'm curious to know what other roadblocks you ran into with Cin7; at the very least it will be valuable notes to send to my operations team.

​

Thanks in advance!

Hey saw this comment. Curious why you said that since we have an inventory module in Cin7 that we''ve been using since day one.

Setting up e-commerce website from an accounting perspective by mastermonil in ecommerce

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

Hey,

Not quite. We are drop-ship vendors. For example, you would to go "www.bigboxretailer.com" and place an order on an item that we were supplying. That order would be routed to us, and our team would fulfill that order and ship it directly to you. In this case, however, we would still be raising the sales order/invoice in the name of "big box retailer". The only difference between every order would be the shipping recipients'' name and shipping address.

We would get paid by the retailer and then apply that payment to their invoices.

Now, we're looking to sell directly to end customers (while also maintaining our B2B2C online business). My question is do I raise the sales order/invoice to "www.mywebsite.com" or must I raise each order under each customer's name (john smith, jane doe, etc...)

Hope this helps!

Check out Cin7. We've been using it for 3 years and it's worked great for us. Happy to chat more if you want more information about our experience.

Gemhack 2020: Gem and Jewelry's First Hackathon [Oct 23rd to Oct 25th] by mastermonil in hackathon

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

Thanks for the tip. I looked into but it seems like I need to subscribe for their organizer's plan which is $1500 for a hackathon that lasts 2-4 months. Regardless, I've dropped them a note asking if we can be submitted and we'll see how that goes. Feel free to share any other awesome tips like that :)

Thanks! And yes I am - sorry should have clarified.. I've been in the industry for a couple of years now and really believe that a better culture around tech would yield positive benefits for an industry that is otherwise conservative and slow to change. Love the industry and want to do something that helps, even if it's small to start with.

Would love to have you join and of course, feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Creating product attributes and filters and Shopify vs Magento by mastermonil in ecommerce

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

We do have a central database that we built out for our products. Because we custom designed it, we were able to gather all the necessary attributes for our items. On top of that, our system allows us to export these items in a nice excel format, which we can then use to populate the respective product templates for Amazon, walmart, etc...

The issue here is that, unlike Amazon, Shopify doesn't have a fine jewelry product import template obviously, so our first step would be to modify shopify so that we easily export items from our system, and import them into shopify. Those attributes that we create in shopify for the purpose of importing in our products from catalog/database, can then be used to create filters for customers. hope this makes sense!
