Improve Consignor Relationships with Consignor Access

Consignor Access enables consignors and vendors to manage their own inventory remotely. The shop owner controls the permissions of Consignor Access, allowing for a variety of consignor and/or vendor relationships from allowing full store control to complete consignor autonomy. Consignor Access is especially useful for vendor malls, dealer malls, and antique malls that focus on renting booths.

Consignor Central is a handy tool for notifying our consignors about seasonal changes, best sellers, most wanted items and changes in store hours – at all 3 of our locations! Consignors log in and receive pertinent store updates while checking their inventory and balances.

Why should I enable Consignor Access for my consignors or vendors?

For many resale businesses and stores, managing consignors and vendors could be its own full-time job. By enabling SimpleConsign’s Consignor and Vendor management tools, including Consignor Access, these stores can offload the time they’d spend managing their consignor's inventories to their consignors. This is especially helpful for vendor malls, dealer malls, and antique malls that primarily sell real estate rather than second hand merchandise.

Can my store still own inventory management even if I have Consignor Access enabled?

Yes! You control just how much autonomy you want your consignors to have when it comes to inventory management and merchandising. If you choose to keep inventory management a store-only functionality, your consignors and vendors can use Consignor Access to stay up to date on contracts and store-wide communications, as well as monitor their sales and remaining accepted inventory.

What is consignor management?

Consignment software is software that is designed to support the resale industry, including consignment, thrift, vendor malls, and resale stores. Consignment software often includes inventory management, point of sale (POS or VPOS), consignor payouts, integrated payments, virtual terminals, and can integrate with your POS system.

Is consignor and vendor management important to me if I don’t run a consignment store?

Within a consignment arrangement in which a store takes inventory on consignment, that inventory is not considered an asset since ownership is not transferred until the actual sale. Consigned inventory item is considered a liability on the consignor’s books until it is sold to a third party. When it sells, the consignor and consignee will split the sale.

how does vendor management work for vendor, dealer, and antique malls?

Consignment inventory is a supply chain model common in the resale industry in which individuals or businesses will consign things they own but do not use anymore. Consigned inventory can run the gamut and includes items like handbags, clothing, furniture, vintage and antiques, art, jewelry, and more.
