Integration

Petco integration: vendor purchase orders in, shipped on time, ship notice back

Petco order management for pet brands and distributors. Rilk is integrated with Petco: it imports your Petco purchase orders, sends your inventory quantity, and sends the ship notice with tracking back to Petco once the order leaves your dock.

Petco runs more than a thousand pet care centers plus petco.com, and it restocks them by purchase order. A Petco PO is a promise with a date on it: the right cases, to the right distribution center, inside the ship window, with a ship notice that matches what is actually on the truck.

The trouble for most vendors is not the order, it is everything around it. The PO gets printed, someone checks stock in a different system, the shipment goes out, and the ship notice is typed in afterwards. Every hand-off is a chance for a short ship or a late notice, and Petco charges back for both.

In Rilk the Petco PO arrives as an order, draws from the same stock count as your Amazon, Chewy and Shopify business, and when you ship it the ship notice and tracking go back to Petco from the same record.
