The holy grail of operations is to automate everything.
The holy grail recipe:
-
Have all data in one place as a single source of truth
-
Have a rules engine to make decisions from that data
-
Accurate accounting to help make financial decisions
-
Accurate profitability to pick the most profitable product to invest in
This is the power of having a centralized hub for operations.
sku.io continuously iterates the reduction of your operational costs

AI for product sourcing. Automatically contact suppliers based on what products will be profitable
-
An automated way to get product data from new supplier sources to sales channel listings with little human intervention

You can see the possibilities that a well-designed operations platform can bring.
