How Do I Manage Third-Party Warehouse Partners and Their Stock Reports?
To manage third-party warehouse partners and their stock reports, register each partner with contract terms and contacts, receive stock reports on a fixed schedule through a form or upload, compare them with your own records and track every discrepancy until it is explained.
In Jestor, partner reports, stock records and discrepancies are connected, giving you one view of stock held outside your walls.
Why is third-party stock hard to control?
Stock kept by partners is visible only through their reports, which arrive in different formats and at different times.
Differences between their numbers and yours accumulate, and nobody investigates until a large gap appears.
What problems does partner management solve?
- Reports arriving late or in different formats
- Stock differences not investigated
- No history of partner accuracy
- Contract terms unknown to the team
- Slow answers when stock is needed urgently
