5 million products from 200 plus distributors
E-enable all your suppliers in one go! Over 200 suppliers worldwide are partners – feeding in over 10,000 individual feeds into our site every day. Over 5 million products to sell are available to sell. You can also add your own stock and suppliers that are not listed on the site.
- Your individual feed from your supplier gets imported with your own personalised pricing
- The items are matched with full product descriptions provided by Icecat
- The suppliers and your own product descriptions can also be imported
- Multiple suppliers with the same product result in the price from the cheapest supplier being listed on your site.
Completely Automated
Every night our system will go out to the suppliers and automatically collect your feeds. The data is imported and normalised, then matched with the product descriptions. Price and data quality rules are applied and then a file is published which you can import in to your web store.
Add Your Own Suppliers / Stock
In addition to the suppliers we show on our site you can add unlimited other suppliers / stock and price feeds. To do this you need at least stock, price, SKU and brand in a spreadsheet. This process can be done manually by uploading a file or can be automated with our system collecting files from an FTP location.
Real Time Stock And Prices
Out of the 200 suppliers we have on board about 20% allow real time queries of stock and price levels so you can see completely accurate information from them. (With the other suppliers we update hourly).
Electronic Ordering
Over 25 suppliers are fully integrated between their systems and ours– this involves the following:
- Sending electronic purchase orders to get the suppliers to drop ship the goods
- Receiving an order status and tracking reports as the supplier fulfills the orders
- Receiving the supplier invoices for the products ordered
Getting Suppliers Set Up
For most of the UK distributors you simply have to enter your account number and click apply for prices on a web page within our site. It is completely simple to get working:
- In other countries and with new suppliers to add new suppliers send us the supplier stock file and we will put it live for you straight away – or add the supplier as a private datafeed.
- To set up suppliers for Real time queries and ordering, contact our sales team

Back to back marketplace orders directly to distribution
How it Works
With our order automation package you can completely automate the purchasing of IT hardware from distribution. With end-to-end electronic communications, this solution gives your business a hands-off, efficient solution that lets computers do all the work.
All orders from either the webstore or sales team members are imported directly into our orders manager which automatically works out the cheapest fulfillment, considering the cheapest price and delivery costs. You have full control over how you convert orders into PO’s with the choice of the following:
- Automatically convert orders to PO’s in seconds
- Override the automated conversion to choose different distributors, change prices to reflect negotiations with distributors and special bid pricing for particular products or customers
- Consolidate order items to be shipped from your warehouse to save on multiple purchase ordering costs.
Electronic ordering
Stock In The Channel has electronic ordering in place with all of the major distributors listed with us. These distributors can accept purchase orders and provide proof of delivery. Before an order is placed, we check the availability of items in real-time and provide tracking codes from distributors to help you fully monitor delivery progress. If a distributor provides a unique ID of an item for delivery, we will import this for you.
Complete order transparency
Package tracking and order status is visible to you, your sales staff and your customers. Order status is passed back from suppliers to our system and your web-store, CRM and even ERP enabling you to catch and resolve any issues pro-actively before your customer knows of the problem. Track the delivery on the courier’s website and see exactly where the package is at that very moment!
Access to full history
Every action that takes place is recorded in a history section on your Stock In The Channel account. This tracks quote, order, purchase order and supplier invoicing, allowing you full visibility of the complete quote-to-order cycle.
Consolidate orders
Our system allows you to select multiple orders and combine them into one purchase order (per supplier). These orders are then shipped directly to your base where you are then able to create shipping notes and manage the dispatch of the goods. There is a separate section that manages shipments from your warehouse.
Reports and audit trail
Report on quotes and orders, by company and date range. View results with sub totals divided by company or status.
Report on quotes, orders and employee results by company, date range or status. If you require a custom report, this can easily be created to meet your specific requirements by getting in touch with your Reseller Manager.
Give your own web site marketplace functionality.
With our purchase authorisation and approval process tools your site emulates the key functionality of the e-procurement marketplaces.
Let your customers have full control over their staff’s purchases on your website with Stock In The Channel’s Purchase Approval Plugin for Magento.
For enterprises, we understand those purchase approvals for a large amount of customers/employees can be an unnecessary chaos. With this plugin, you can easily designate multiple line managers to approve purchases under a certain amount so you only have to approve the larger purchases yourself. For someone with 50+ employees or customers, this is an excellent way to manage spend. Not only does this give you full control over total spend, but allows all users to be in control of their budgets and orders in an easy and organised manner.
