Ecommerce migrations for catalogs orders and inventory accuracy
Move ecommerce operations with consistent catalog definitions and inventory states across channels and warehouses.
Ecommerce migrations for catalogs, orders, and inventory accuracy
Ecommerce migrations are not just a storefront change. You must move catalogs, SKUs, locations, inventory states, and fulfillment processes without breaking billing and reporting. Sanka helps you migrate ecommerce operations as a governed workflow program with validation and traceability.
Standardize SKUs, variants, and core attributes so inventory and billing use one consistent definition.
Align warehouses and store locations so allocation and stock distribution follow clear rules.
Dry-run, reconcile, and cut over with a checklist so inventory and fulfillment do not drift.
What to migrate (and reconcile)
- Product catalog (SKUs, variants, pricing inputs)
- Locations and inventory states across stores and warehouses
- Orders and fulfillment steps (including partials and exceptions)
- Billing triggers tied to shipment/delivery milestones
| Migration layer | What can go wrong | What to standardize |
|---|---|---|
| Catalog | SKU duplication, broken variants | Item master definitions and validation |
| Inventory | Drift and stockouts | Location mapping and transaction discipline |
| Fulfillment | Errors and delays | Pick-pack-ship steps and exception states |
| Billing | Disputes | Controlled invoice triggers and approvals |
[DRY RUN] Import sample catalog and orders
-> Validate SKUs and variants
-> Reconcile inventory by location
[OK] Cutover checklist complete
-> Switch channels and monitor exceptions
Cut over without inventory chaos
Governance keeps counts and statuses consistent while channels change.
Define checks so imported catalogs and orders are operationally usable.
Treat stockouts and partials as workflow states with owners and next actions.
Keep an audit trail of mapping decisions, reconciliations, and final cutover steps.
Get started
- Standardize SKUs: define item master rules and clean duplicates before migrating.
- Map locations: align warehouses, stores, and returns locations to the target model.
- Dry-run: migrate a sample set, reconcile counts, and validate fulfillment steps.
- Cut over: run the final migration and monitor exceptions until steady state.
