Ensuring Cin7 Uptime and Recent Updates and in your busiest time

The last thing you would want during this big holiday shopping season starting with Black Friday on November 27 2020, is a wavering Cin7 Uptime and recent updates not working. So Cin7 have taken steps to ensure you can handle any sales spikes that come your way and they also added a few product updates for good measure.

Here is a break down with need to know info about Ensuring Cin7 Uptime and Recent Updates For October 2020. Enjoy.

Cin7 have quadrupled their server capacity to process orders and enhanced back-end processing efficiency to better handle large volumes of concurrent transactions. Similar steps they took in 2019 led to 100% uptime through the entire holiday shopping period. We all, Cin7 clients and consultants alike, can look forward to helping our businesses running smoothly again this busy shopping season!

BigCommerce Integration: Discounts on Line Items

Cin7 customers using BigCommerce now get a detailed view of product discounts. With this update, discounts applied to products in BigCommerce now appear for each line item in a Cin7 sales order. Cin7 previously displayed only the sum total of discounts for a sales order.

Shiptheory API Update

Cin7 has just moved to the latest version of Shiptheory’s API. While this update doesn’t come with any new features, it keeps Cin7 working seamlessly for customers that integrate with Shiptheory.

Amazon US Marketplace Tax Collection

Cin7 have made it easier for US customers to handle orders when Amazon is required by law to collect and pay sales taxes on your behalf. Now, Cin7 downloads Amazon orders as “Tax Exempt” whenever Marketplace Facilitator (MPF) laws apply. (Read our help page for more information about MPF.) This update automatically prevents duplicate tax figures from being uploaded to your accounting software.

TradeGecko is now called Quickbooks Commerce

QuickBooks renamed TradeGecko to QuickBooks Commerce, and it is seen as the central hub that businesses have been looking for. Small businesses can now access multiple sales channels, integrate existing ones, manage orders and fulfilment, sync inventory across online and offline channels, avoid stockouts and get profitability insights via standard reports. Quite a few feature, yes?

TradeGecko and Cin7 work a bit like magic, you see things happening and handling, and stock synchronizing on various platforms, and most savvy people will know this is the future of stock management and online sales.

Sell across multiple channels.

QuickBooks Commerce is similar to Cin7, and even though QuickBooks Commerce is still in its early growth stage, they allow businesses to sell across multiple channels. It is, for example, possible to quickly set up a premium e-commerce website like WooCommerce or Shopify that fully integrates back into QuickBooks Commerce and QuickBooks Accounting.

QuickBooks Commerce provides users with an easy way to manage complexities in a single centralized interface because “Attracting and managing customers across multiple sales touchpoints is vital to small business survival — especially now,” said Alex Chriss, EVP and GM of QuickBooks

Meeting customers expectations

“Meeting customers where they are in the new expectation, but small businesses are not set up or resourced to manage this complexity effectively. QuickBooks Commerce helps small businesses grow by helping them sell across more channels while reducing the time they spend on operations.”

By looking at the following statistics, it is easy to see the absolute benefits of using a system like QuickBooks Commerce and Cin7.

To sell and cater to the new post-Covid19 consumer behaviour, Inventory-based business (IBBs) must support how their customers want to shop. Shopping either physically in-store, virtually online or across multiple digital marketplaces like Amazon or e-Bay all in real-time. 

Keeping track of multiple channels

For most small businesses, keeping track of multiple channels is overwhelming and hard to manage. A recent study found that 87% of small businesses that will open in the next 12 months will be online, or a combination of online and offline. However, 84% of IBBs selling in multiple channels still reconcile inventory using pen and paper or spreadsheets. 

Fifty per cent are afraid to add another channel because of the operational complexity. Besides, in a recent survey, 76% of small businesses said that they would love to have a one-stop-shop. The software should manage everything related to their business stock and finances.

Sell on Amazon with QuickBooks Commerce

QuickBooks Commerce will make it easier for both existing and new sellers, to sell on Amazon’s store, reducing complexity in managing sales.

In other words, sellers using Amazon to sell in the Amazon store or on different e-commerce websites can use QuickBooks Commerce.  Importantly, QB Commerce manages these cross-channel so business owners can focus on growing their businesses.

What about Xero and TradeGecko clients?

Firstly, if you are already using Xero Accounting, and don’t want to move to QuickBooks, don’t worry. Intuit will continue supporting existing TradeGecko integration links with Xero as they did with T-Sheets and KeyPay.

Secondly, by using Apps like Cin7 and QuickBooks Commerce with the ability to link the Xero or QuickBooks will make life much more comfortable. Moreover, linking other software solutions like mobile sales, e-commerce and b2b platforms, the future is bright.

The next ERPs are small and Intuit.

Lastly, cloud-based solutions are increasingly outpacing older on-premise ERP systems. Firstly, they offer much easier integration points and secondly lower levels of complexity. In conclusion, the future is here, contact us for an obligation free quote to assist your business to move into the future with confidence and a clear IT strategy.

To sum up, Software4Business would love to help you with choosing and implementing Cin7 or TradeGecko. Give us a call.
