Use Cases

Sarah runs a small online store on Easyecom selling handmade beaded jewellery. She's on the Starter Plan and creates unique pieces, meaning her inventory is constantly changing. She often sells multiple variations of her bracelets, varying by bead colour and size.

Problem:

• Sarah was previously tracking her inventory on a spreadsheet, which was time-consuming and prone to errors.
• She occasionally oversold popular bracelet variations, leading to disappointed customers and refunds.
• Keeping track of individual bead colour and size combinations was becoming increasingly difficult as her business grew.

Solution:

Sarah used the Easyecom Starter Plan's inventory management feature, guided by the knowledge base article, to:

1. Input Initial Stock: She entered the starting quantity for each bracelet variation (colour and size combination) into the Easyecom inventory system.
2. Real-Time Updates: After each sale, whether through her online store or at a local craft fair, she immediately updated the stock levels in Easyecom.
3. Variant Tracking: She utilized the system to track the inventory of each specific bracelet variant, ensuring she knew exactly how many of each colour and size combination were available.
4. Low-Stock Alerts (if available in the starter plan): if the starter plan included some type of low stock alert, she would have enabled this, to know when to make more of a popular item.
5. Regular Inventory Checks: She scheduled weekly inventory checks to compare physical stock with the system's records, ensuring accuracy.

Results:

• Reduced Overselling: Sarah significantly reduced the number of oversold items, leading to happier customers and fewer refunds.
• Improved Accuracy: Her inventory records became much more accurate, eliminating the discrepancies she experienced with her spreadsheet.
• Time Savings: She saved time by managing her inventory directly within Easyecom, freeing her up to focus on designing and creating new jewellery.
• Better Organization: Tracking individual product variations became much easier, allowing her to manage her inventory more effectively.
• Increased Confidence: Sarah felt more confident in her ability to manage her inventory, leading to a smoother and more efficient business operation.
