ChannelSale, ChannelAdvisor, Mercent ...
We are at an impasse. We do not have our own I.T. staff and are in a place where we desperately need a solid integration platform that would manage all of our dropship inventory datafeeds and marketplace connections.
In summary, we have around 18+ dropship supplier datafeeds (and growing) with over 200,000 active SKU. We are active sellers on Amazon, Sears, BestBuy, Buy, Newegg, and somewhat active on Ebay.
I saw a post here about ChannelSale.Com - has anyone used them? I'd love to hear more reviews. They are flat-fee, which is nice, and claim integration into all of these platforms.
I tried ChannelAdvisor back in January. For our # of SKU, it's very expensive, and the revenue sharing, even at an insanely reduced rate, is several thousand (ie. $5K+) per month. We weren't able to stay because although they did allow multiple datafeed connections, they were unable to detect dropped SKU unless you have one, single, consolidated feed from all suppliers. (which we're working on).
I have been negotiating with mercent for months since, and came very close to signing - same issue, price/revenue sharing, and then I realized they aren't anywhere close yet to supporting NewEgg which is our #2 marketplace.
ChannelSale caught my eye - maybe there are other options as well.
Our main objective is to have:
* consolidated inventory managment of ALL suppliers
* direct integration for listing, qty, price management on ALL marketplaces above
* reprice engine for Amazon based on floor price/biz rules, etc.
Please let me know your thoughts
