Empower Your Business with Sales Order Automation Software for Inventory

How to create outlook signature

[Music] all right so I just signed up for the trial version of EECOM - calm and the reason why I was signing up for that is like it says right here it is an e-commerce management platform especially for someone like me and if you are as well looking to really take your e-commerce business to the next level the last thing want to do is get caught up with things that you can automate in your daily operations that keep you from your main focus which is what we said what people always say is just working on your business versus working in your business and if you're looking to make this a long-term thing with the technology that's around these days this is one of those platforms I wanted to see what this is all about and so far I'm liking it because unlike the other trials that require you to either set up an appointment with some live person so they can sell you on it or you have to enter your trial version with a credit card this one doesn't require any of that requires your name requires your company name phone number and your email and that's it and they immediately give you access to that which I really really like and so that gives you a very soft way of entering their platform so and as soon as you sign up they takes you to this screen I figured I just start you know recording it here okay so it says step one customize your onboarding experience let us know what features you like keep my product quantity updated absolutely pick pack and ship my customer orders why not automate drop shipping even better list my products manage my FBA operation create and manage Purtill connect to my 3pl and create a managed assemble products let's take a look at all of that okay so that's what my before we help run your business we need to connect all your sales channels by connecting we can pull all your product data don't fear your account will run in test mode until during your trial okay great I don't need to add a sales channel but it's cool that it's asking you that you can already start doing things so you can test and play with it let's just set this up later if you're not just click the link let's skip the wizard at the time oh okay great so I'm assuming that once you add the sales channel you can set up the products and then you can go again start so let's skip that just so we can go into that because we don't need to see that everybody needs to do it okay so let's get set up and it gives you immediately a [Music] cool YouTube video so if I really want to go and look into everything okay great so it's a basic set up takes you through a YouTube video to do all of that okay great that's awesome okay so your business begins and ends of inventory number one integrate myself sound download and import my products okay great awesome then from here it adds it says I have 14 days let's take a look at what all the restock management purchase orders work orders in terms let's say let's click on that and see what that looks like so when I click on the restock management it shows me purchase order management so I can manage all the suppliers set up your products again very clear step by step step one set of supplier set to set up your products that three create your first product purchase order and then it actually gives you more videos that you can watch additional resources right there let's click on this work orders what does that look like more videos here so this is great because having the you know without having to go do research and scour YouTube which most people do and spend hours doing so then you get distracted by all these little rabbit holes you can go down on YouTube this takes you right to exactly what you will need to do it all so that's very convenient instead of having to go to a support section relevant videos are right there to the right of what you need to do here click here to add your products click here click click click click click so that's good let's see what this looks like click here to add your suppliers we do that and new fantastic we can enter all this information cool going back to hear the EECOM - restock management was where I was at set up your products click here very cool how do I go back here listings you come - I keep getting sent back to here so it's interesting I don't I can't go back or maybe I can click here to add new to start your purchase order very cool no just hit back okay great so work orders I suspect is the same thing as I clicked in these different sections to set up raw materials they'll do that hit back click here to add build products I'll add that to first work order awesome okay internal transfers set up warehouses set up FBA Warehouse integrations for those of you who use FBA you can click on here and then what you could do is your click button to set up an FBA warehouse so you can use that be like Amazon FBA and so on so forth warehouse priorities very cool so a lot of cool differently I mean you can run the entire show from this from this dashboard okay so that's they're clicking on history you could see you're either the history of everything that's done in your stockings from a stocking standpoint I think this is still the same thing yeah you just go left to right okay and actions add a new purchase order okay I think we went through that so there's a couple levels of redundancy here I mean you could literally hit access everything from the restock management and you just click through the tabs but I guess in case if you don't want to go through the tabs you can go directly to a specific activity or or thing that task that you want to do which is kind of cool for those that get back to kind of like in create an efficient workflow even on a platform that's designed to make it workflow more efficient you can make your workflow within that platform that much more efficient by just simply jumping straight to the tasks that you like to do so that's always nice I've been on platforms where you go in and then you have to navigate through these like I said rabbit holes of different ways so just to get to one thing and so this is a kind of a nice little feature here so if just want to do restock management and you can start there and it'll go through everything I think the only thing that you can't navigate to from any of these is through the history which is just kind of looking at the history you're not gonna go there all the time anyway or maybe you will who knows all right so let's go to inventory inventory management I suspect it's going to be the same way so you set up products you click here to download your listings click here to upload your products let's see what that looks like pretty straightforward oh it opens up a whole separate tab - ok click here to upload your products again opens up another tab over here you can browse from your desktop in terms of the file that you upload you can probably upload a CSV file for all your SKUs and everything and then you can select the inventory input mat to do all that great pretty straightforward going back takes me where it takes me to the home page again so now I have two tabs open ok so I'm not sure why these will suddenly are set up - let's see here if this does the same thing click here to auto sync for your company it doesn't turn on or turn off maybe because I have to set it up first select your products are not Auto sync for your products hmm okay great low inventory set up products click here again it goes to another tab I think this is a little bit of a glitch so just keep in mind that in under the inventory section you can go through all of these things same thing add new product physical inventory check low upload inventory upload a file to great again upload this and we go back so this one doesn't open up in a new tab so I think something is happening in their coding back there whoever is developing the coding that some of the links will open up a new tab and some of those some of these in the links will just take you and keep you in the same tab just keep that in mind that that's probably what happens so if you try to go back you're like where am i oh you probably got a new tab okay so let's see Advanced Search if we click on here okay great so this looks like you can actually do search by specific skews or ASI n discontinued wow there's a lot of different ways of search and/or is empty okay so let's say if we kick isle is empty begins with of you can get very precise with your search criteria which is really good because especially depending on how you run your business of what you want what kind of data you want to look at in terms of how your sales are doing and what's going on this will help you to kind of develop that and I'm pretty sure you can save the different types of filters so that you can do a quick search based on your your filtering nomenclature if you will okay cool so this is the inventory section I suspect sink inventory history sink failure offload inventory so these are all the different histories that you can look at from the history standpoint from the action standpoint clicking add new product basically is right okay it looks like it's from the inventory management side again again if you know exactly where you want to go this level redundancy is fantastic for helping you kind of have a more efficient workflow let's look at the listings listing management same thing looks like if you go to listing management listing over you you could download your listing revise and manage your existing listings you check your unlisted products and so on and so forth let's see here unlisted products draft listings during your trial you may create up to 100 listing drafts okay cool let's see during the draft state you can fill in any missing required fields and apply listing profiles to quickly move your products out to new channels so if you are looking to explore and open up a new channel for your listings using a draft listing would probably sounds like this is probably how you do that what you would do again to have more explanation on this every one of these tabs has its own set of videos so it's very comprehensive in terms of what EECOM - is created in force video support let's see failed listings and then active listings so it looks like these videos are pretty much the same across each tab history we click on this we could see the listing submission history listing import history so all these things can be here so you won't miss anything interesting on the action side download listing storefront and you could download that and then create a listing option options pick product create product okay great so that's pretty self self-explanatory order management paid ready to ship order so it looks like the way EECOM Dash is set up is literally like a dashboard with these tabs and so you have this top-down approach where you have the the broad like listing management okay for if you want to just kind of explore and go down these checkpoints okay or if you are already familiar once you get more familiar you can skip going through this this this rabbit hole approach and just go directly with what you want such as the history tabs or you can go straight to the specific tab that you want without having to kind of go to the main area which is okay and then you can go to specific things if you know I need to go create a work work order or sales order I need to upload a sales order and you just go straight to the tasks that you want so it's efficient so I like this workflow because you take a it's like a top down but then if you want to skip all that rigmarole and you want to jump right to the task you can alright let's take a look at reporting how it's set up here let's see reports Wow this is fantastic so all the reports are here and you can generate basic based on all the preview report I guess once you have things set up it actually could generate a preview for you so you know whether or not you actually want to generate a physical report that you can print out cost of goods cost of goods sold state tax by SKU state tax by order that is huge here ever since that whole shift into you know the federal law is wanting to you know charge you tax is based on the state that you're selling to and from per order profit margins inventory valuation yo Y profitability keep component the end there's a lot here I'm pretty sure based on this you there's probably whatever report that you're looking for sales trends sold quantity FBA top selling items customer information sales canceled after shipment report returns relevant shipping about completed orders over give time that's kind of cool so that you can have an awareness of everything that happens from beginning to end from a disease so that way depending on what you want to focus on in terms of creating a better workflow or comparative a better efficiency or maybe looking at what marketing campaigns are how they're affecting your results on an amine your customer service I suspect with this preview of this after shipment report we can probably you could probably put together some kind of a customer service thing to make sure that you could stay relevant and top of mind to your customers listing submissions there's all kinds of reports here so you know again this isn't easy this is a really easy trial to get into you don't even need a credit card and you can do it just I mean you could do it right now I mean you probably watching this video say hey I can just go to econ - comm put in my name and email and phone number and boom you're ready to go nobody's even called me yet so that's kind of cool cost of goods sold inventory so you could break it down by category inventory listing purchasing sales shipping so there's all reports is for everything here and then if you want to do very specific reporting and then I suspect that you can probably have your team members coming here who are relevant to the different departments to take a look at all these reports and generate that so if you own the business and you have a large team you can basically task out them to go to different things and present and generate those reports for you report history will basically show you who has requested with what report which is kind of nice too if you want to monitors and see if people are generally reports for inexplicable reasons which is a precursor to you know security and privacy issues so that's kind of kind of a cool thing to look at this settings there's so many different settings here where you have all this information you have your billing employees tagging that's nice so you can create tags your own tagging nomenclature so that you can really customize how you are monitoring and looking at how everything works let's take a look at these email templates I'm a big fan of this so it says for customers and suppliers so you can create intelligent workflow all within here without using a separate email management platform I wonder what this looks like email email BCC that's always good so that you can make sure those who are Auto send and cord fulfilled by storefront all fulfilled by all okay interesting okay let's go back and then alert settings receive low inventory emails exclude if in purchase order so on and so forth so you can turn all those on and save that inventory settings again I guess if you want to go straight to it these are the direct tasks things otherwise it's tabbed out I love the levels of redundancy here so that it is adaptable to any particular habit that you may have in terms of your workflow custom attributes variation attributes there's just so much stuff here that you can do I know something there are some things I can already tell in my business that I I won't even use but it's nice to know that you do have access inventory format settings you could change the format that's interesting so mono import formats oh okay this is this is very cool so you can create print formats to make it more efficient so this is nice because I think what this allows you to do is not have to change up your current workflow or current how you have things set up in your company in other words if you had things running pretty smoothly and you just want something some like this platform to help automate a lot of what you're already doing in the style and the way you're doing it these templates will allow you to do that in the interest of just not making this you know a little bit you know long this video we're listening templates order settings supplier setup store okay so what this looks like store supplier setup okay add new there you also have storefront setup I wonder what this is this is basic information storefront details what's happening here why is it dark okay cool ecommerce platform oh so if I say Amazon oh nice so this allows you to train to edit your storefront details from a information standpoint navigate to okay cool enter okay great this is awesome 3d Cart BigCommerce Etsy eBay Wow new egg Sears Shopify Walmart and Zen cart other let's he other allows me to okay so you just do a URL there okay great let's go back okay so it is a storefront setup and then we have shipper setup there's an ad here why probably because I'm in a trial period okay great well maybe it is relevant because Pitney Bowes is for stamps and whatnot shipping rules okay great dropship setup dropshippers to easily manage does he add new oh wow okay great so this is where we can add drop shipper information warehouse settings so we have merchant warehouse drops 3pl FBA warehouses and warehouse priorities great so many different ways and let's look at look at this accounting setup economists set up accounting system QuickBooks Online what else zero so basically you have two choices you have QuickBooks Online or zero both of which are probably one of the most popular ones out there and if you're not on QuickBooks Online probably should consider doing that if you're not already because that's the easiest one that most people do don't take that for me I am NOT an accountant or CPA so anyway II comm - okay so here's the App Store autumn a report delivery you could set up my econ - for ten bucks a month Bing has one commerce how crazy lister okay so these are the apps during the travel you can subscribe to all free apps within decom - we need to subscribe ok great and I think that's pretty much it these are all the different access is very straightforward very simple let's see what's on this side it's a search so you can do a direct search for ask you here is the knowledge base so let's look at the knowledge base it's a separate tab boom this looks this this is pretty common that we see in other platforms as well they have a separate support URL that has fa Q's and specific sections and I suspect that it's probably got a bunch of fa Q's within the fa Q's ok let's see what else here let me make it bring it back to the main dashboard here and then we have e com - Academy what's that oh cool so you can go lesson by lesson so if you're new to the game what you can do and you want to use EECOM - you can do that so lesson 1 lesson 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and let's see what it looks like if i'm like lesson one PAR one integrating your storefronts okay so it's not videos like you see all over the main dashboard area it's actually step by step okay let's see here it's weird that part two is up here part one is here probably going from the ground up part one again okay yeah so these are all the econ - Academy is all like it's not video based it is text based or just you know web based videos okay let's take a look at the videos they're all in YouTube so they have entire channel let's see how many videos they have here I have a lot holy cow this is great cool let's tube channel join a webinar let's see what kind of web browsers have gone on demand webinars optimizing more than so looks like they they have webinars as well there's just so many so many ways to get support okay report an issue this is important okay attachment okay this is pretty pretty straightforward schedule I call Oh consultation for trial customers fifteen minutes this is security scheduling okay I use that let's see here become an affiliate so you can also become an affiliate you're turning twenty percent commission which leads me to believe to think about okay quick if we're getting twenty percent commission and I like this why wouldn't I talk about it how much is EECOM - let's see monthly subscription is $60 per month annual subscription select an average on monthly orders if you're making a hundred dollars and say you're making a thousand orders a month you're appalled so you'll pay 1296 save 20% on your subscription and that's how that all works okay great and then over here is your user profile privacy policy pretty standard boring boilerplate okay great terms with service times you billing and log out and then your User Profile alright okay so that's pretty much it except for this bubble right here what does it happens okay this is support Zendesk okay so Zen does depend on what kind of plan they have on that you can actually do a question here and hopefully they can you can chat or looks like you just submit the question it looks like I need what type of Sears account do I need to have because that's the top result for I need help just go to Sears and then you can contact us ok great it looks like it's like a direct access to the fa Q's or their knowledge base and that otherwise you can send an email so you don't have to go through this whole thing right here you could do it right on this little support bubble there and that is my walkthrough of the trial for the e-comm - hopefully you found it helpful and like I said it's really easy if you are interested at all you probably just sign up for yourself it doesn't require a credit card or anything so you there's no risk just your name your phone number and your email they probably will call you at some point but other than that we're taking a look you know it's very straightforward nothing - it's not like the most beautiful platform but it it it provides everything that you need to do or you need to automate your flow your system flow in your workflow for your e-commerce business alright so that's it
