The Reality for Modern Retail & E‑Commerce
Most brands aren't short on demand. They're short on clarity. If this list feels uncomfortably familiar, you don't need another app—you need a backbone.
Overselling & stockouts between Shopify, marketplaces, ERP, and 3PLs.
Inconsistent product catalogs and attributes across marketplaces.
Slow, manual order routing that lives in inboxes and spreadsheets.
Zero real-time visibility into margin, shipping performance, and stock risk.
Returns chaos with no single view of what came back and where it is.
Ops teams spending nights and weekends fixing what systems broke.
How DataShip Transforms Your Operation
We're a boutique supply chain technology team focused on one thing: clean, reliable plumbing between your systems.
Marketplace ↔ ERP Sync
Bi-directional sync between Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, Farfetch and your ERP/WMS with real-time inventory, price, and SKU logic aligned across channels.
Returns & RMA Automation
Unified RMA intake, automated restock/refurbish/write-off flows, and clear insight into why items are coming back.
Intelligent Order Orchestration
