How we integrate with Shipwire

Cin7 integrates in the following way with Shipwire:

• Sale Orders – Sales orders to be fulfilled by 3PL.
• Pick Notifications – A summary of what was actually picked per order.
• Purchase Orders – Purchase orders to be stored by the 3PL.
• Inwards Notifications – A summary of what was actually receipted per PO
• Auto back-ordering –  If picking quantity is less than order quantity, a back-order is created in Cin7.
• SSCC Labels (EDI) – Cin7 sends 3PL SSCC labels to attach to EDI orders.

Why should inventory and 3PL’s be connected?

Cin7 helps retailers and wholesalers make their complex omnichannel, omni-fulfilment and multinational business simple by providing an all-in-one cloud Inventory, POS, EDI and 3PL solution.

The key benefits of having an inventory solution and 3PLs connected include:

• Greater stock visibility at the 3PL branch.
• Stock accuracy, as all orders need to be processed through an inventory solution irrespective of how they are fulfilled.
• Create purchase orders and send them directly to the 3PL.
