Ecomdash Overview

Ecomdash is web-based inventory management software that allows you to manage sales, purchasing, listing, and dropshipping. The tool syncs data information to and from vendors, sales channels, suppliers, fulfillment centers, and warehouses. It allows you to add new sales channels and products without overselling.

However, there are several problems with Ecomdash:

  • Order routing: Ecomdash only offers basic order routing, which means your orders won’t be automatically routed to the best possible supplier at the lowest cost.
  • Integrations: Any integrations you require will need developer involvement, and you can’t build them yourself.
  • Electronic data exchange (EDI): Ecomdash doesn’t offer EDI integrations, which means that your orders may not be sent to suppliers in the correct format.
  • Product selection: Ecomdash offers a very limited product selection, so you might not find the right products for your niche.
  • Linking with vendors: The solution links products to one vendor rather than allowing you to link one product to multiple vendors. This means you must have a product listing for each vendor.
