Inventory Management Software (IMS)
Know What You Have. Where It Is. Stay in Control of Your Inventory
Manage inventory across your ecommerce sales channels and warehouse with a clear, consistent view of stock. Descartes Peoplevox™ provides multichannel inventory management software capabilities that help you reduce manual work, improve stock accuracy, and maintain control as inventory complexity increases.
Inventory Complexity Grows Faster Than You Expect
As ecommerce businesses expand across Shopify, marketplaces, and multiple locations, inventory becomes harder to manage. Stock lives in different systems, updates don’t always match, and teams spend more time trying to understand what’s actually available.
Teams end up:
- Switching between systems to check stock levels
- Manually updating inventory across platforms
- Struggling to manage bundles and shared components
- Dealing with stockouts, overselling, or inaccurate inventory data
Inventory Management Capabilities Built for Ecommerce
Peoplevox brings together inventory data across your ecommerce platforms and warehouse, helping you maintain a consistent and reliable view of stock across your operation.
Centralized Inventory Visibility Across Your Ecommerce Stack
View inventory across stores, marketplaces, and warehouse locations in one place. Keep inventory data aligned across your ecommerce platforms, warehouse, ERP, and other connected systems without switching between disconnected tools.
Real-Time Inventory Synchronization
Keep stock levels aligned across channels as inventory changes, helping reduce manual updates and maintain more accurate inventory data across your ecommerce systems.
Product Grouping for Bundles and Kits
Manage and create product groups for bundles and kits more easily, while ensuring accurate stock tracking and fulfillment at the component level in the warehouse.
Support for Multi-Location Inventory Management
Coordinate orders across warehouses, stores, and fulfillment partners, helping your team manage multi-location operations more efficiently as your business grows.
Before Descartes, every sales order was a sheet of paper. We’d print them and run around the warehouse looking for locations. Bringing in Descartes Peoplevox tightened up all the areas we needed to control. We are able to see every part of the journey of an order until it’s packed and shipped to our customer. Our stock accuracy has been amazing.
Inventory Accuracy Starts in the Warehouse
Inventory management software is only as reliable as the data behind it. When stock is not tracked accurately in the warehouse, discrepancies appear across every system.
Peoplevox connects inventory tracking with warehouse execution, so inventory is updated as it moves through your warehouse. This includes stock movements such as receiving, picking, transfers, and returns, helping ensure that what your systems show reflects what is physically in stock. This helps reduce picking errors, prevent overselling, and improve overall inventory accuracy across your operation.
Handle Bundles, Kits, and Complex Products with Accuracy
Managing bundles, kits, and bill of materials (BOM) across multiple platforms can create inconsistencies in inventory and fulfillment. Peoplevox supports bundles and kits by ensuring accurate execution at the component level in the warehouse, improving consistency between order data and physical inventory.
Inventory Management Solutions That Work with Your Stack
Peoplevox works alongside your ecommerce platforms and backend systems, allowing you to improve inventory management without replacing your existing setup. Descartes inventory management solutions, including Sellercloud and Finale, support multichannel inventory management alongside Peoplevox warehouse execution.
