Skubana At A Glance

Good: Skubana streamlines and simplifies inventory management and commerce operations for sellers with high sales volume by giving them everything they need in one solution.
Bad: With pricing starting at around $1,000 a month, Skubana might not be the best choice for businesses with mid-sized sales volume.
Bottom Line: Skubana is an all-in-one commerce operations and inventory management solution for high volume marketplace sellers, offering inventory operations, business intelligence and fulfillment.

Product Overview

Skubana is a commerce operations and inventory management solution for high volume marketplace sellers and direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands. It markets itself as the “hardest working operations platform on the planet,” and rightly so with its full offering of services for users, such as inventory operations, business intelligence and fulfillment.

Aside from being an inventory management system, Skubana can also take the place of a traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP) system while synchronizing data from all of your sales channels, including marketplaces, warehouses and point-of-sale (POS) systems. Skubana wants to be the all-in-one tool for simplicity in the operations of your business.

Skubana integrates with many e-commerce partners, marketplaces and third-party businesses, and it features an App Store where users can add, customize and create other solutions. A few of those integrations include Quickbooks, Zapier, SPS Commerce, Scout and others.

Additionally, there’s no limit on users, channels and warehouses, so businesses will find it easy to continue using Skubana as they grow.

Features

Skubana pitches itself as the “hardest working operations platform on the planet,” and with its robust offering of services for users, it’s no wonder it makes this claim.

Its aim is to “Unify, Automate and Grow” your business with key features allowing users to have one dashboard that supports everywhere they sell, tools that help with orders and data that helps users make key decisions.

A few of those key features include:

  • Cross-channel reporting – See your data on revenue, orders and units sold in one dashboard with the cross-channel reporting feature.
  • Real-time inventory updates – Users can see their real data in the dashboard without worrying that spreadsheets aren’t updated. The real-time inventory feature allows for consistent metrics across all channels so you can make informed decisions.
  • Bundling & kitting – Build and track your bundles and kits. Plus, keep track of individual stock items so you don’t oversell your kits or bundles.
  • Automated shipping & return labels – Speed up delivery time with automated shipping and return labeling – linking products to the appropriate in-house warehouses and third parties.
  • Overselling prevention – Set your own inventory allocation rules and controls per channel. This keeps you from overselling stock and lets you know when it’s time to reorder.
  • Automated replenishment – This feature constantly updates values such as your sales velocity, reorder quantities and forecasted reorder dates so your stock is replenished when it’s needed and you never run out.

Implementation/Integration

Customer Service & Support

Skubana offers training for users in person, live online, and via webinars and documentation supplied on its website. Additionally, the vendor offers customer support during business hours. Support is also available online.

Pricing

Users report that Skubana starts at about $1,000 per month; however, the company doesn’t list its pricing publicly. Contact the vendor for a quote.

Shortcomings

With pricing starting at about $1,000 a month, Skubana might not be the best choice for businesses with mid-sized sales volume.

Skubana is an all-in-one system that can replace your inventory management solution and ERP, so it can be a bit clunky at times if you don’t need all of its features. Some users have reported a learning curve and an issue with having to perform multiple complex steps for smaller tasks.
