Tired of Doing Everything Manually? Let’s Fix That.
If you’re running a B2B wholesale business, you already know how much there is to handle orders, invoices, pricing, customer service, inventory, follow-ups, and marketing. The list just goes on and on. But what if it didn’t have to be so complicated?
eCommerce automation has come to take the burden off. And no, this is not a case of robots replacing your team. It’s a case of turbocharging your team by automating the work that slows you down.
With the right tools, yes, we’re talking about Simplisales, you can automate the grunt work and focus your energy on what actually scales your business.
What is eCommerce Automation?
eCommerce automation is the process of using software to convert tedious, manual tasks into smooth, automated processes.
In a B2B wholesale context, this can include:
- Issuing invoices immediately after an order is placed
- Replenishing inventory levels across all of your sales channels
- Creating custom promotions for specific customer segments
- Issuing reorder reminders based on buying history
- Synchronizing order information with your ERP in real-time
All these and much more can be automated with Simplisales Dashboard, specifically made for wholesalers like you.
Why Your Wholesale Business Needs Automation Now
Let’s get real. B2B customers hate friction. They want speed, precision, and consistency. So, if you’re still doing it manual, you’re not only losing time, but business.
Below are reasons you should automate eCommerce processes:
1. Save time (and sanity)
Entering orders by hand? Copy-pasting emails? Manually tagging or pricing updates for 30 or more customers? Not scalable.
With Simplisales, you automate it all from your Dashboard, your business, and your way.
2. Reduce human error
No more sending out the wrong product or charging the wrong price. With automated catalogue rules and pricing on your Simplisales Website, your customers always view the correct information no errors, and no confusion.
3. Deliver a better customer experience
Imagine a world where:
- A customer reminder is sent to your client before the products on order are out of stock.
- They do a barcode, and they reorder through the Simplisales App within the shortest time possible.
- They open a promotional message that is interesting and relevant to the viewers and not just spam.
This is not the future. This is the kind of service that Simplisales assists you with doing today.
4. Free up your team
In this way your people will be able to focus on strategy, growth and relationships and not affidavit or status reports.
