E-Commerce Inbound Logistics for Online Brands and Marketplaces

E-commerce brands live and die by inventory availability. InboundShipments gives your operations team real-time visibility into every replenishment shipment so you can keep best-sellers in stock and customers happy.

Replenishment Shipment Tracking

Track every reorder from the moment your supplier confirms the PO through ocean transit, customs clearance, and final delivery to your warehouse or 3PL. Forty-plus milestones mean you always know where your inventory is and when to expect it.

  • Automatic status updates from ocean carriers via direct API integration
  • Track containers across all major shipping lines from a single dashboard
  • ETA updates flow in automatically as carriers revise schedules
  • Link multiple containers to a single shipment for consolidated visibility

Multi-Supplier PO Management

Most e-commerce catalogs source from dozens of suppliers across multiple countries. InboundShipments centralizes every open PO into one dashboard and connects each order to the shipments carrying the goods, the invoices billing for them, and the receiving records closing them out.

  • Track PO status from draft through submitted, confirmed, shipped, and received
  • Link one or more POs to an inbound shipment for end-to-end visibility
  • Associate vendor, freight, and customs invoices with the originating PO
  • Share POs with suppliers via secure links — no vendor account required

FBA & 3PL Receiving Workflows

Whether you ship direct to an Amazon fulfillment center or your own 3PL, track the receiving process at the line-item level. Know the moment goods are checked in, quantities are verified, and discrepancies are flagged so you can take action before issues compound.

  • Create receiving records from existing POs with line items pre-populated
  • Record received quantity per SKU as goods are checked in
  • Shortages and overages flagged automatically at the line-item level
  • Receiving record links back to the PO and shipment for full traceability

Why e-commerce brands choose InboundShipments

Turn inbound logistics from a black box into a competitive advantage.

1

Prevent stockouts on your fastest-moving SKUs

Real-time ETAs and milestone alerts give your merchandising team the information they need to reorder at the right time. When a shipment is delayed, you find out days or weeks before the inventory runs out, not after.

2

Coordinate arrivals across multiple suppliers and warehouses

E-commerce brands often have dozens of open purchase orders with different suppliers shipping to different locations. InboundShipments consolidates everything into a single view so nothing falls through the cracks.

3

Get products listed and sellable faster after receiving

Structured receiving workflows let your warehouse team confirm quantities, note discrepancies, and close out receipts quickly. Faster receiving means faster inventory availability and shorter time-to-sale.

4

Know your true landed cost per product

Freight, duties, insurance, and brokerage fees are captured at the shipment and line-item level. Your finance team gets accurate COGS data without waiting weeks for invoices to trickle in and get manually allocated.
