Next Engine and ZOZOTOWN: A New Era of Automated Inventory Management

In the fast-paced world of e-commerce, efficient inventory management can make or break a business. Recognizing this critical need, Bizgem Inc., based in Bunkyo, Tokyo, has teamed up with NE Corporation to unveil a groundbreaking app, "ZOZO Customer Order Link by Store Record," which automates inventory synchronization between the popular fashion platform ZOZOTOWN and the highly-regarded SaaS e-commerce backend system, Next Engine. This collaboration aims to reduce sales loss and maximize revenue for retail businesses.

Background and Purpose of Development

The background of this innovative application is rooted in challenges faced by many retail businesses, particularly in the apparel sector. With many using Next Engine as their Order Management System (OMS), a request from a client for ZOZOTOWN customer order integration sparked the development of this app. Conducting thorough surveys among other clients unveiled a widespread demand for this capability, convincing the team at Bizgem that addressing these pain points could yield significant benefits for various retail companies.

Advantages of Implementing ZOZO Customer Order Link

The app's integration offers a myriad of benefits, following are some of the highlights:

1. Activate Sales Even Without ZOZOBASE Inventory: If ZOZOBASE lacks stock, the app allows businesses to sell items from their own inventory managed through Next Engine, ensuring that customers can always find shop items available for purchase.

2. Real-Time Inventory Synchronization: The app enables real-time reflection of stock levels in ZOZOTOWN by referencing the available inventory in Next Engine, allowing businesses to adapt to changes and avoid potential stockouts quickly.

3. Automatic Restocking to Prevent Lost Sales: If ZOZOBASE runs out of a specific product but there’s stock on Next Engine side, the app will automatically restock that item on ZOZOTOWN, substantially minimizing missed sales opportunities.

4. SKU-Level Control: Users can control inventory reflection settings at the SKU level, strategically choosing which products to link for optimal management based on their business strategies.

5. Automated Order Information Capture: The app automatically imports order details from ZOZOTOWN for customer orders that draw from the company's stock, streamlining the operational workflow.

Seamless Integration into Existing Operations

The design of the app emphasizes simplicity, enabling businesses to implement it without overhauling their existing operational framework. This approach ensures that companies can focus on maximizing sales without complicated changes to their processes.

Service Overview

• - App Name: ZOZO Customer Order Link by Store Record
• - Monthly Fee: ¥3000 (excluding tax)
• - Note: Initial setup costs for Store Record are applicable, and prior consultation with your ZOZOTOWN representative is necessary.

Future Prospects

Looking forward, Bizgem aims to continue supporting businesses that face challenges integrating OMS and core systems with flexible approaches to expand standard features. Like the recent collaboration with Branshes Co., the app accommodates complex system architectures across different enterprises.

Businesses interested in realizing ZOZO customer order integration without Next Engine or needing assistance capturing POS or EC sales data in their core system are encouraged to reach out for help.

By adopting a unique model that streamlines implementation while expanding Store Record functionalities, Bizgem aims to provide faster and more affordable solutions than traditional software development routes.
