SKU IQ is a stock control tool that allows you to connect your eCommerce inventory with the POS of your physical stores. Undoubtedly, this is a very important advantage to keep our business running.

Any entrepreneur who sells in the digital channel and retail, is forced to spend many hours to perform this work manually. It is tedious and quite delicate work. Mistakes made when consolidating the database mean money.

On one hand, we lose sales opportunities every time we break stock. Customers who try to access our product and probably end up buying from our competitors. If, in addition, we do not have our recruitment campaigns well coordinated, we will even be investing money that cannot be recovered.
On the other hand, if we do not control the inventory we have, it is very likely that we will tend to overstock with the costs that this entails: logistics, storage, handling… and the risk of ending up with discontinued products that are difficult to sell.
But to avoid situations like this, we have tools like SKU IQ.
Features
It is important to understand exactly how it works and how it becomes such an important ally for our management. To do so, we will look at its main features.
Comprehensive vision of sales
SKU IQ unifies in a single platform and a single dashboard. All recorded orders and the day's revenue divided between online and offline (in addition to the totals, of course).
With the possibility to see the detail of each of them if we need to reach customers, specific orders and products.
It's really simple and convenient for anyone who has to take care of the management and, if you need to report, you have a multitude of reports available in just a couple of clicks.
Product management
You will have full control of your stock from the control panel. There are options such as adding new products, editing existing ones, and even deciding in which channel they will be available. This way you can manage your stock independently, but still have the complete overview.
Inventory migration
Data entry is one of the most common reasons for switching platforms, but with SKU IQ it shouldn't be a problem.
They have a service that migrates catalogs for us. It's paid, but the amount of time we gain, and the certainty of not making mistakes, is worth it.
Integration
The truth is that it is a tool ready to work with almost any platform. Shoppify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce… and POS like Square, lightspeed or Vend, among others.
It connects in a matter of minutes and allows us to make a report to check that everything has run well and has synchronized correctly. Also, if you want, you have access to alerts directly to your email in cases, for example, of low stocks.
Pricing
You can try SKU IQ for free for 30 days, before deciding if you want to implement it in your company for good.
SKU IQ has four different plans depending, among other things, on the number of monthly orders we have to manage. These plans are:
Basic | Plus | Growth | Premium | |
Orders / month | Up to 400 | Up to 1,200 | Up to 2,500 | Up to 10,500 |
Locations | 1 | 2 | 5 | +5 |
Pricing | $35 | $69 | $129 | $279 |
Every plan comes with support and:
- Ilimited SKUs

SKU IQ Review
It is a productivity solution for companies that sell in more than one channel, it represents a saving of time and errors that cost money at the end of the year.
It integrates easily and, considering what it offers in return, the value for money is more than acceptable. You should try it and check if, with your sales volume, it is worth it or it would be better to wait to grow a little more.
Very interesting tool for brick & mortar stores and to have a unique tool to control your stocks and orders on your omnichannel strategy.
