The Challenge

Why Managing Vendor Catalogs Manually Fails

Vendor Data Is Scattered Across Spreadsheets

You're importing product data from multiple vendors manually — downloading CSV files, reformatting columns, uploading to your store. By the time your catalog is updated, half the inventory data is stale and prices have changed.

✓ Single API syncs product data, pricing, and images from 12+ vendors automatically

Selling Products You Don't Actually Have

A customer orders a product. You check the vendor — out of stock. Now you're apologising, refunding, or scrambling to source an alternative. Without real-time inventory visibility, every order is a gamble.

✓ Real-time inventory sync — show only what's actually available across all vendors

Onboarding a New Vendor Takes Weeks

Every time you add a vendor, you're mapping SKUs, importing data, setting up pricing rules, and testing orders. A process that should take hours takes weeks — and delays your ability to expand your product range.

✓ Onboard an entire vendor catalog with pre-built connections via PX Connect

What You Get

Six Core Capabilities of PX Connect

Single API to 12+ Vendors

One integration connects your eCommerce store to SanMar, S&S Activewear, Alphabroder, Geiger, PF Concept, and more. No individual vendor integrations to build or maintain — PX Connect handles all vendor APIs under one unified interface.

Real-Time Inventory Sync

Live inventory feeds from every connected vendor. Your eCommerce store shows only what's actually available — updated in real time. No more selling products that are out of stock. Inventory alerts when stock drops below thresholds.

Automated Purchase Orders

When a customer places an order, PX Connect generates purchase orders to the appropriate vendor automatically. No manual re-entry, no email orders, no phone calls. Order → PO → vendor fulfillment in one automated flow.

24-Hour Vendor Onboarding

Add a new vendor's entire catalog — products, images, pricing, and inventory — with pre-built connections. PX Connect handles SKU mapping, category alignment, and data normalisation automatically. No spreadsheet imports.

Margin-Protected Pricing

Set markup rules per vendor, per product category, or per customer segment. PX Connect applies your pricing rules on top of vendor cost — margins are protected automatically as vendor prices change.

Drop-Ship Fulfillment

Products ship directly from the vendor to your customer — you never touch the product. PX Connect manages tracking numbers, shipping notifications, and delivery updates across all vendor shipments.
