Epicor P21’s Drop-Shipping Features for B2B Management

Epicor P21 is a comprehensive ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution designed specifically for wholesalers. With integrated and advanced features, it helps companies manage their daily operations efficiently and achieve better business results. A key aspect that sets Epicor P21 apart from other ERP solutions is its robust B2B dropshipping management capabilities.

For wholesalers, dropshipping is a key part of their business model. In the case of drop shipping, the distributor acts as an intermediary between the manufacturer and the end user, handling all logistics and order fulfillment processes. This allows them to offer a wide range of products without having to maintain physical inventories. However, managing courier shipping can be a difficult task and that’s where Epicor P21 comes to the rescue.

What options are available in Epicor P21 for B2B dropshipping management?

1. Automated Order Processing: Epicor P21 simplifies the dropshipping process by automating order processing. This means that when a customer places an order, the system automatically generates purchase orders for the supplier, without the need for manual intervention. The order is then shipped directly to the customer, reducing the time and effort required to manage the process.

2. Supplier Integration: Epicor P21 enables seamless integration with suppliers, enabling real-time communication and collaboration. Suppliers can access the system, view orders, and update order status, eliminating the need for manual data exchange. This not only speeds up the process, but also reduces the risk of errors.

3. Inventory Management: Inventory tracking is crucial in dropshipping. Epicor P21 provides robust inventory management capabilities, allowing distributors to view supplier inventory levels and automatically update their own inventory levels. This ensures quick order fulfillment, avoiding backorders and delays.

4. Real-time visibility: With Epicor P21, you gain real-time visibility into your supply chain so you can make informed decisions. You can track order status, monitor inventory levels, and identify bottlenecks in the process. This level of visibility also allows you to provide customers with accurate and timely updates.

5. Custom Pricing: Epicor P21 allows distributors to set different prices for each supplier and automate their pricing structure. This ensures price consistency and eliminates the need for manual calculations.
