Integration of Inventory Management software with Quickbooks and Shopify

VP16 · ‎March 23, 2021

Hello,

Does anyone have any experience with integrating Inventory Management software with QBO and Shopify? Specifically with S.O.S. Inventory Software, Shopify and a 3PL ecommerce fulfillment provider. We manufacture, market and sell personal hair care products and there is multi step manufacturing and assembly involved with work in process by contract manufacturers. Fulfillment is being done by ecommerce using a third party logistics provider and orders are through Shopify.

We are looking to have a setup where we would be relying on one point of reference for inventory information being Shopify and not have to be reconciling different versions of inventory reports from S.O.S. or QBO etc.

If anyone has a similar set of facts and they could share any issues faced or other challenges and what you did to work around or resolve those, that would be great.

Also any recommendations for other inventory management apps that integrate with QBO, or other advice is welcome.

Thanks all in advance for your kind attention to this.

Hi there @VP16 and welcome to the Community,

You've come to the right place to seek guidance on this as the Community is jam-packed with business owners and accounting professionals who have a wealth of knowledge and experience on topics like this. They are your best resources and I hope they'll chime in here to advise you on what's worked for them. I'd like to point you in the direction of some resources as well.

Directly within QuickBooks Online, you'll find the Apps tab from the left menu. That's where you'll find your connecting piece between the Inventory Management software you use, Shopify, and QuickBooks Online. Make good use of the search field by typing and entering keywords or the name of the software you're using. When you select the tile for an App you'll be able to view the Developer details, Legal information, as well as Contact and Support details on the right-hand side of the page. You can also navigate between the Overview, Pricing, Reviews, Similar, and FAQs tabs along the top to learn more.

I'll leave it to the rest of the QuickBooks Community now to fill in the gaps and provide you with their experience and knowledge. I know you'll get this figured out in no time. If you'd like to connect with a QuickBooks-certified accountant as well, you can check out the My Accountant tab within QBO and use the Find a pro to help button. Our ProAdvisors are a wealth of information and would be keen to help you figure this out.

Take care and have a great week!

@VP16

If your BOM is simple, you can utilize one app Intuit has acquired last year to integrate with your QBO.

If your BOM is complex, you should explore another one.

Both apps support Shopify.

Thank you Fiat Lux ASIA. The Katana app looks very promising. I have forwarded it to my senior management for consideration.
