Designed for retail supply chain teams

From vendor shipment to store shelf, manage the entire inbound flow with tools built for retail complexity.

Store Replenishment Tracking

Track vendor shipments headed to individual stores or regional distribution centers. See which locations are expecting deliveries this week, which shipments are running late, and which POs are still unshipped so your replenishment team can act early.

Distribution Center Receiving

Give DC teams a clear view of what is arriving each day. Structured receiving workflows capture quantities, note shortages, and flag damaged goods at the PO line-item level so discrepancies are documented the moment a truck is unloaded.

Vendor Compliance & Scorecarding

Track on-time shipment rates, fill rates, and packaging compliance for every vendor. InboundShipments automatically records delivery performance data you can use to enforce routing guide requirements and negotiate better terms.

Seasonal & Promotional Planning

Align inbound shipment timelines with seasonal floor sets, promotional launches, and holiday selling windows. Visibility into supplier lead times and transit schedules helps you confirm that merchandise will arrive before the event, not after.

Multi-Location Visibility

Manage inbound shipments across hundreds of stores, DCs, and cross-dock facilities from a single platform. Filter by location, region, or vendor to see exactly what is in transit to any point in your network.

Document & Invoice Management

Centralize bills of lading, packing lists, commercial invoices, and freight bills for every shipment. AI-powered extraction captures key data from uploaded documents so your accounts payable team spends less time on manual entry.

Why retail teams choose InboundShipments

Replace manual tracking with automated visibility across your entire vendor and location network.

Keep shelves stocked and reduce out-of-stocks

Empty shelves cost retailers sales and customer loyalty. Real-time tracking of vendor shipments gives your replenishment team the early warning they need to reroute stock, adjust allocations, or expedite orders before a shelf goes bare.

Speed up DC receiving and reduce dwell time

When the receiving team knows exactly what is on every inbound truck, unloading and put-away go faster. Fewer surprises at the dock mean shorter dwell times, lower detention charges, and quicker flow of goods to stores.

Enforce vendor compliance without manual auditing

InboundShipments captures delivery dates, quantities, and shipment details automatically. You get a reliable performance record for every vendor without asking your team to manually log compliance data in a spreadsheet.

Plan promotional inventory with confidence

Retailers stake margin on promotional events landing on time. Tracking supplier production and transit milestones weeks in advance gives your merchandising team the confidence to commit to ad dates and floor-set schedules.

Unify visibility across every location in your network

Whether you operate 10 stores or 1,000, InboundShipments provides a single pane of glass for all inbound activity. Regional managers, DC supervisors, and corporate planners all see the same data in real time.
