Ideas for backend organization

[Paula]

Just wondering, how do other sellers organize their backend functions? For example:

1. inventory, ie being able to enter how much the product cost;
2. organizing inventory by manufacturer;
3. connecting Endicia to Shopsite to avoid having to go back and forth.

Is the only option a program like Ordoro or Stonehedge?

Thanks,

I use a custom Extra Field in products and name it "Vendor" and that gives me the ability to view products by Vendor since the extra field will appear in the dropdown when you search for Products. We find this very helpful when using with PowerEdit since we can edit the field of all the products from that Vendor.

We use ShipWorks for shipping/Endicia and I think it might be cheaper than the two options you mentioned and it works very well.
