Customer quotes
Don't take our word for it.
At first, we managed everything in Excel. Human error was a constant problem, and our inventory value did not match at fiscal close.
As we grew rapidly, we needed a system that could manage purchasing, inbound, inventory sync, and outbound in one place.
By implementing Sanka, we expect to connect reel racks with shop-floor inventory data so we can calculate requirements based on accurate stock.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Sanka replace Shopify inventory?
No. Sanka adds workflow control around Shopify inventory signals: replenishment, POs, receiving, invoice matching, and exception review.
Can shortages create purchase order drafts?
Yes. Shortage, velocity, and lead-time signals can become replenishment candidates and purchase order drafts.
Can inbound inventory be connected to supplier invoices?
Yes. Receiving and supplier invoice review can be linked to purchase order and item context.
