When your product catalog spans everything from organic pantry staples to natural personal care, keeping vendors and orders in sync gets complicated, fast. For Pure Modern Living, a growing health-focused retailer, managing all of that by hand was becoming unsustainable.
That’s when they turned to Flxpoint. With automation handling the backend and complete visibility across every workflow, they’ve taken the stress out of scale, and gained more control than ever.
Health Retail at Scale: The Manual Workload Behind the Growth
In the beginning, the Pure Modern Living team manually placed their customers’ orders in their supplier’s reseller portal. They quickly realized that, as their business grew, placing orders this way was taking up time they needed to allocate to other tasks.
So, the company turned to Inventory Source for their inventory and order automation needs. This was sufficient for a while, but over the next 12 to 15 months, they experienced tremendous growth.
As Pure Modern Living continued to scale, they discovered a need to create complex routing rules.
While Inventory Source allowed them to create proximity-based routing rules, those weren’t applicable in all scenarios. Soon, they were processing 75 to 150 orders a day and then manually selecting where to send them, they had to find a way to use that time more efficiently.
How Flxpoint Automates Ecommerce for Natural Goods Retailers
With Flxpoint, the Pure Modern Living team can now automate and optimize their order routing to dropship suppliers by real-time costs, location, item specifics, and more.
Flxpoint offers them additional options for improving product data and categorizing products, which makes it easier to manage their growing catalog. The Pure Modern Living team also sought to streamline all aspects of their ecommerce operation, including invoice and purchase order management.
With Flxpoint, the idea and concept that we could potentially open an order and see just about everything we need to see for that specific order was definitely a huge draw.
