Michaels integration: vendor orders in, inventory and tracking back

Michaels order management for vendors. Rilk is integrated with Michaels: it imports your Michaels orders, sends Michaels your inventory quantity, and sends tracking back once the order ships.

Michaels is the biggest arts and crafts retailer in North America, and its busy weeks are predictable: back-to-school, Halloween, and the run into the holidays. If you supply craft product, that is exactly when an order keyed in late or a ship-to typed wrong costs you the most.

Michaels holds its vendors to tight rules on ship dates and paperwork, and a miss shows up as a deduction later. Rilk puts Michaels orders in the same order list as your Amazon, Walmart and Shopify orders, so they ship on the same clock as everything else.
