Vin eRetail WMS

A warehouse that serves a webstore, several marketplaces and a few shops needs one clear picture of what is on the shelves. Vin eRetail WMS, from Vinculum, is a warehouse management system built around a single pool of inventory serving every sales channel.

Built for varied operations

The vendor describes the system as software delivered as a service for growing brands, retailers, marketplaces, distributors and third-party logistics firms, with one or several warehouses. It calls the product modular, scalable and cost-effective, and says it was named in an analyst research report on warehouse management systems for four years running, from 2017 to 2020. Vinculum also says that brands such as RedTape, Puma and Bata use it. These are statements by the company.

What the warehouse team gets

The system acts as a hub that fulfills orders from trade customers and from individual shoppers using the same stock. Warehouse routines can be automated across channels.

• Central inventory: one pool of stock serves every channel.
• Picking, packing and shipping: orders move through the usual fulfillment steps.
• Returns: returned goods are processed in the same system.
• Integrations: prebuilt connections for outside logistics firms and shop checkout systems.

Part of a wider range

Vin eRetail WMS sits beside the other Vinculum products. Vin PIM handles product information, Vin OMS pulls orders from webstores, marketplaces and offline channels together, Vin OMNI adds ship-from-store and endless aisle models, and Vin Reco reconciles payments and flags underpayments from marketplaces. Vinculum describes the whole range as a way to run omnichannel, hyperlocal and cross-border selling from connected systems.

Where it operates

Vinculum lists customers in many countries and over two hundred integrations. The company has Indian roots, and its materials focus on retail and consumer brands, including fashion, footwear and beauty, that sell through stores, marketplaces and their own sites at once.
