SMB Consultants are the 2022 Partner of the Year for CIN7/ DEAR Inventory Globally. This is an incredible achievement and we are incredibly proud. However, a question we are asked is, how are you an award winning cloud integrator and staying independent? We appreciate the question being asked and the opportunity here to answer it.

Having an appropriate inventory system to manage your inventory can mean the difference in your profit and long term the capacity to scale your business. Reviewing your inventory needs and adapting your systems can make the world of difference.

SMB Consultants has had a long standing relationship with Leonardo Garcia-Curtis, Waldo van Niekerk and Zyber. Waldo and Leo are not only great guys but have also produced an award-winning e-commerce strategy podcast for merchants serious about growing their brands. 

Jeffrey Atizado CEO of SMB Consultants had the absolute pleasure of being invited to talk 'Cloud Integration Unpacked' on the Talk N’ Shopify with Zyber podcast, and boy, did we unpack some information. 

Business sustainability is important. Enabling a consistent flow of sales is a key component to ensure this. So how do you do this? The short answer is to make it easy for your potential customers to buy from you. There are many ways you can do this and that can be the danger. Analysis paralysis can actually stop customers from buying. An effective pre-order campaign initiated by your business can help. This article will explain exactly how this works. 

SMB Consultants is one of those incredible success stories. The founders Jeffrey Atizado and Peter Klein have pulled off a remarkable transformation - creating and defining a new category of consulting business. 

As founders they saw the need for a cloud integrator not just an app to enable business sustainability and future proof businesses in these ever changing times. This has led them to be the leading “cloud integrators” in Australia and New Zealand.

You may be wondering why we work with Cin7 for inventory management. SMB Consultants are proudly platform agnostic. We like to be an independent voice that works with each client so we can ensure and give each client a recommendation and support for implementation that we believe is the best possible one for them with their best interests at the core of our recommendations. In saying this, we do have partners we work with regularly due to the fact we specialise in working with businesses only in the verticals of retail, wholesale and manufacturing.

Thanks to technology smaller wholesale businesses can compete on a larger scale. Clever use of the right apps and processes can mean an ability to keep overheads down whilst increasing sales.

So as a wholesale business owner, who already wishes they had more hours in the day to get things done and needs to keep business running, where do you start?

If business efficiency, profit margin, streamlined supply chain and scaling your business are important to you, being familiar with Cloud Integration is essential and it has the opportunity to achieve all these things and more.

Cloud integration can provide a wealth of efficiencies for businesses and allow them to be more productive. On the other hand, if not set up correctly in the beginning can cause countless problems and potentially have counter productive results. 

One of the most important things, when everyone is working remotely, is communication!  There are many tools out there...
