Weavo connects multibrand resellers with their suppliers and automatically imports master data and shipments into the resellers pos and ecom.

Why

Retailers spend countless hours manually entering product details—like GTIN-codes, images, descriptions, colors, prices and so forth — into their systems every time they receive goods.

They also need to update order numbers, shipment quantities, and unit prices.

Automating this process frees up time, reduces errors, and gets products online faster.

With accurate data flowing automatically, retailers can rank higher on Google Shopping and stay ahead of the competition.

What's in it for me (as a supplier)

  • When retailers are more competitive, it will also help you as a supplier.

  • When both you and your resellers use GTIN/EAN it enables a more effective collaboration.

  • Resellers can share stock levels and sales performance in real time using GTIN.

  • You can setup replenishment suggestions or even auto replenishment which in turn will reduce "sold out" situations at resellers and increase revenue for both you and reseller.

Here's the list of what data you as a supplier should share with your reseller.

Your attribute names doesn't have to be the same as below.
