Centro Commerce

Excited to officially introduce Layouts - customizable filters and views to track POs and production on a granular level. 🍚 A Director of Ops we work with wanted two things: Complete control and complete flexibility when it comes to managing their production runs. With granular logic powering layouts, operators saw an immediate impact thanks to: ⚡️ Advanced filters (Vendors, Expected Ship Dates, Payment Status, Tags +) ⚡️ Saving custom layouts for your team to monitor (eg; POs where invoice is unpaid but status is received, etc.) ⚡️ Ability to toggle between multiple layouts (Classic Apparel Vendors, Footwear POs, etc.) Centro Layouts gives you the flexibility to filter and customize your PO data to see exactly what you need, when you need it. Save time flipping through spreadsheets and fast track critical decision making. Drop a comment or send me a DM if you want to see a quick demo of Centro Commerce in action. :) #inventorymanagement #procurement #production #brandoperators #shopify

Excited to share that we’ve launched intelligent low stock alerts for Centro Commerce! Centro AIM curates recent sales velocity to pull out low stock and stock out risks. 🔥 By the time a product is out of stock it’s already too late. Typically, with lead times up to 3 to 6 months to restock it’s important to know when a product is low in stock relative to its sales velocity. Centro AIM alerts you when a product is low in stock and intelligently suggests next steps. If you own a DTC brand, how do you approach restocks? What triggers do you look for to know when it’s time to restock? If you’d like to see a demo or learn about Centro, send me a DM! :) #centro #productupdate #ecommerce #shopify

We're bringing together the tops minds for a night of retail excellence. RSVP or DM Jagan Krish or myself if you have any questions!

“It is shocking to me that in this day and age, we don't understand how much supply or demand is needed to run the world,” shares Revathi Advaithi, CEO of Flex, in a recent podcast episode in the The Wall Street Journal. This quote really stuck out to me. Welcome back to your weekly dose of A.I. Supply Chain insights! 🗞️ Even with all the data and information out there, we’re still not where we need to be. Every day that a business is out of stock, they’re losing money. That’s where we need AI to step in. In the podcast, Advaithi thoughtfully shares that AI can help manage supply chain risk in two ways: Manufacturing: AI can act as an equalizer for small and medium-sized businesses when it comes to manufacturing. Managing 20+ different fragmented software system takes a lot of capital, and capital is not cheap. AI can extend capacity here and give small and medium manufacturing a competitive edge. Inventory planning: After another supply chain crisis, we learned, humans haven’t figured it out yet. That’s okay, that’s where multimodal LLM models need to step in. This is where I’m specifically optimistic, having LLMs tie context from different sources together into narratives that operators can interact with would be game changing! The current process takes lots of manual work and reconciliation. This goes beyond “optimizing” workflows — AI is the key between mitigating supply and demand and we’re so excited to be part of it. 🙂 What’re your thoughts? #AI #SupplyChain #Innovation #FutureOfEverything #WSJ #D2C

Super proud and excited to share Centro's newest categorization features! 🥾 When we first built out Centro's product we imported all the collections and categories directly from Shopify. BUT, here's the thing: In the real, hectic world of building a brand, categories become old, outdated, and quickly become a dusty pile of last season's tags. Our customers wanted a way to see their inventory how they uniquely thought about their catalog. They wanted to easily sort and filter products. So we built it! Centro ingests your categories from Shopify, and then you can add/remove/update your own. Sounds simple, but building it was not. Shoutout to the team for all the brainstorming sessions and work that went into this. 🙋♂️ As one of our customer's, Byron, puts it, "Centro extends my ability to actually control my inventory." ⚡️ Our solution helps Byron complete his work as an Operations Manager 19% faster by augmenting his workload and giving him the control he needs in his role. DM me if you're interested in learning more about Centro Commerce. I'd love to dive into your ops and show you were an augmented solution can help. 👀 #shopify #inventorymanagement #augmentation #supplychain #dtc #d2c

✨ New case study ✨ Excited to share how Centro helps Session Goods, a bespoke DTC cannabis brand, save 30 hours a month on operations. ⚙️ Prior to Centro, Byron, Session Goods Operations Manager, was struggling to understand the accurate value of their inventory, track it, or act on it. With multiple inventory sources, including their 3PL, they were seeing duplicate inventory everywhere and drowning in repetitive, manual work. That's where Centro Commerce came in! 🔥 Centro took all that data, sorted it, automated inventory reports, and enabled Session Goods to get back to work that grows the business. "Centro has been great for getting our inventory and reporting under control. I used to spend a lot of time piecing together exports into reports and now Centro helps me do everything from monitoring stock fluctuations to creating POs right from the interface." - Byron Williams, Session Goods Operations Manager Read the full case study here ➡️ https://bit.ly/465OVTe If you're interested in learning how to optimize and automate your inventory and operations, send me a DM! :) #casestudy #dtcbrands #ecommerce #inventorymanagement

Big thank you to everyone who showed up for our EcomX event last night! 🎉 When we first thought of bringing together brand operators to talk operations, we were a little hesitant.
