INVENTORY REPLENISHMENT, SIMPLIFIED
Replenishment built for 3PLs
Designed for multi-client replenishment, Zenventory gives you total control over vendor rules, incoming stock, and specific warehouse needs. Track how well your suppliers are doing, see how long shipping actually takes, and manage restocking in a way that keeps your profits high for every account.
Streamline your receiving process
Receiving against purchase orders is smart because your warehouse team will know exactly what should be delivered, and you can be alerted right away if there is an anomaly. Once a purchase order is created, it is available to the warehouse team to view and receive. Warehouse staff can partially or fully receive goods against purchase orders. If purchase orders are not fully received, they remain open until either closed or fully received. Of course, you can receive goods on the fly without a PO too.
Order goods from suppliers with purchase orders
Zenventory’s purchase order processing ensures that you pay vendor invoices based on the items actually received. After entering or importing purchase orders into Zenventory, warehouse operators can receive goods against the purchase order with the actual quantities received and keep incomplete POs open for further receiving later.
Create vendor catalogs
Create vendor catalogs by relating your items numbers or SKUs to the supplier’s item numbers. Set item costs by vendor, order minimums, and supplier lead times. If the same item is purchased from multiple vendors, Zenventory can help you make smart purchasing choices to replenish your stock.
Directed put aways
No longer hunt around offline to try and figure it out. Our system tells you where you should store items based on either the defaults you set or what location already holds the items you are trying to put away.
