Synchronising prices and stock levels across sales channels
Today prices and availability are set separately in the online shop, separately on Allegro and separately in the warehouse system. Changing one of those numbers means going into three dashboards, and a delay in any of them ends with an out-of-date listing.
How much this process costs you a year
The sliders start from values typical for this process. Swap them for your own — the result recalculates instantly, no account and no email required.
This process costs you
Realistically you will recover from PLN 0 to PLN 0 a year
Here is the math: salary times the employer cost multiplier 1.2 divided by 173 hours a month gives the hourly rate. That rate times the hours in a year gives the cost of the process. From the recovery we take a band of 40% to 70%, because part of the time recovered on paper comes back as supervising the automation and handling exceptions. This is a deliberately conservative range, not a promise.
Where the hours go
Updating a price or stock level in three or four channels separately is not one task but the same task repeated as many times as there are channels. With hundreds of products and regular price changes, this work grows faster than the number of people who could keep on top of it by hand.
The result of a delay is selling goods you no longer have, or keeping an outdated price after a promotion has ended. Both end in a conversation with the customer that does the company no favours.
What automation does
Price and stock level have a single source of truth, and a change there spreads to every connected sales channel without anyone lifting a finger. Product mapping between channels is set up once, during implementation, just as with order integration.
Promotion rules, such as a time-limited discount, can run automatically across all channels at once and end at exactly the set time, with no need to change the price back by hand.
What it costs and when it pays back
Implementation usually falls between 2,000 and 8,000 PLN, within the platform's API integration range, which goes up to 10,000 PLN. The price depends on the number of channels and whether each of them has a ready-made API for updating prices and stock.
Payback comes in the third to sixth month. Use the calculator to work out how many people and how many hours a week currently go into keeping an eye on prices and stock in several places at once.
Contractors working with these tools
This process is most often built on the tools below. Each link opens a catalog narrowed to contractors who've declared it — rates, availability, and ratings from settled contracts.
Frequently asked questions
Usually 2,000 to 8,000 PLN as a one-off, within the platform's API integration range of 1,500 to 10,000 PLN. More sales channels and more elaborate promotion rules push the quote upwards.
Yes, as long as each variant has its own code in the warehouse system. Mapping variants is exactly the part of the implementation that needs the most attention at the start, and it is worth testing it thoroughly before going live with the full product range.
Usually within a few minutes of the change at the source. Some channels update data at intervals rather than in real time, so it is worth agreeing the exact timing in the quote for your set of tools.
A well-built synchronisation retries and reports an error if it still fails, instead of quietly leaving an outdated price in place. The other channels keep working regardless of one of them failing.
