The fabric fall release is packed with a suite of new tools designed to supercharge how enterprise retailers bring new products to market, simplify product data integration, provide real-time inventory visibility, and run eye-catching promotions.
Imagine a world where retailers can oversee inventory, streamline supplier onboarding, easily connect product data, and set up promotions effortlessly — all from one unified interface.
fabric brings it all together by orchestrating across your customer experience from pre- to post-purchase with real-time visibility into first-party and third-party inventory status, seamless integration of product information, 20+ supplier onboarding and collaboration enhancements, and easy promotion management.
Let’s dive in!
Every supply chain manager knows the challenge of juggling multiple systems to manage inventory—your ERP, WMS, commerce platforms … the list goes on! It’s like trying to solve a puzzle with half the pieces missing. You might find yourself constantly logging in and out of these systems to track inventory availability, struggling to determine which products are running low or out of stock.
With Inventory Status*, you get a single view of inventory status (In Stock, Low Stock, Out of Stock) across all your fulfillment locations in one place. You’ll get instant email alerts when products and inventory run low so you can restock items before they fly off the shelves, ensuring your customers always know what’s available.
Say goodbye to missed sales and hello to happier shoppers!
*Important: Inventory Status will be generally available (GA) at the end of November.
Getting new product offerings to market can feel like an uphill battle. It often feels like you’re stuck in an endless loop of back-and-forth emails about supplier products and waiting for entire collections to be finalized before you can launch even one. It’s like trying to sprint while dragging a heavy anchor!
At fabric, we’ve transformed the supplier onboarding experience. We’ve added new Dropship features that make collaborating with your teams easier and more efficient, and allow you to onboard suppliers faster than ever.
With our collaboration tools, you can comment, react, and @mention colleagues to keep everyone on the same page. Need to track discussions? Our activity feeds have you covered, letting you see all interactions in one place.
And here’s the best part: You can launch products individually as soon as they’re ready! No more waiting for the entire collection to be complete. Get ready to bring new products to market faster!
Your OMS relies on accurate product information—from product specifications to shipping restrictions—to fulfill orders and ensure customer satisfaction.
Traditionally, integrating your product data has meant building and maintaining an integration between your product information management (PIM), ERP, or homegrown solution to your OMS. Plus, you have to constantly switch between each of these systems to manage all of your data, and they can easily become out of sync.
Catalog Connector simplifies this by providing a single, unified interface that lets you connect and transfer product data quickly and easily from external systems directly to fabric OMS. Just import your data via API or CSV, and let Catalog Connector do the rest—no tedious validations required.
And now that you have a unified view of your data, you can avoid switching between systems and focus on what matters: getting products to your customers faster!
Creating and managing promotions just got easier. We’ve simplified the setup process into five easy steps – from configuring promotion details to previewing a summary before going live. Plus, you can now stack and prioritize promotions, giving you control over which discounts are applied first at checkout.
Not only will this speed up your promotion setup, but you’ll also protect your profit margins by strategically applying discounts in a way that fits your unique business and shopper needs discounts first. It’s faster, simpler, and more effective than ever!
That’s a wrap for Fall ‘24. We’re excited for you to explore these new features – whether it’s keeping tabs on inventory, speeding up supplier onboarding, connecting your product data, or crafting promotions.
As always, thank you to all of our customers and partners for your continued feedback and partnership.
