ChannelDock started with a simple question. While running FiveX, our marketplace advertising platform, Nicky — co-founder of both FiveX and ChannelDock — kept hearing the same request from sellers: “Do you also have a tool for inventory and order management?”
That question revealed a bigger problem. Sellers and fulfillment centers were struggling with disconnected tools, manual work, and slow processes. Together with these businesses, the team built ChannelDock: a practical solution to keep inventory in sync, streamline orders, and simplify product management across every sales channel.
They weren’t just looking for software. They needed something practical, something that could actually help them run a growing business without sinking hours into repetitive tasks. So they made it. ChannelDock started as a way to bring sanity to an increasingly chaotic process, that is keeping inventory aligned, orders flowing, and product data consistent across platforms. It wasn’t built to impress investors; it was built to work.
What came out of that effort is a tool that’s clean, modular, and deliberately focused. Instead of piling on features for the sake of appearances, ChannelDock gives sellers and fulfillment partners the core functionality they actually need: real-time inventory syncing, smart order management, and efficient product listing tools. You don’t need a training manual to figure it out. You don’t need a developer to customize it. Additionally, you don’t need to switch platforms every time your business grows. It simply handles what matters—without making things harder than they already are.
ChannelDock Use Cases: For Online Sellers and Fulfillment Centers
The platform is designed around two core user groups: online sellers managing multiple channels, and fulfillment centers handling client logistics. These groups face parallel issues, just from different angles. Sellers need consistent inventory tracking and fast order processing. Fulfillment teams need clear communication between systems, or mistakes pile up fast.
Sellers get one place to track everything—orders, shipments, stock levels, all synced in real time. Fulfillment centers use ChannelDock more like a full-fledged warehouse management system, so they can onboard clients, process orders, and generate invoices in one platform. Instead of juggling five tools and praying they cooperate, it’s all baked into the same system.
How ChannelDock Works: Inventory Syncing, Order Management, and Listings
Setup is straightforward. Connect your sales channels—whether that’s bol.com, Amazon, WooCommerce, or one of the other hundred-plus options. ChannelDock pulls in your orders automatically and syncs stock across every channel without delay.
You can process and ship orders right inside ChannelDock using features like barcode scanning, smart picking routes, and batch fulfillment. If you rely on external logistics partners, it’s easy to set up custom rules that decide when and where each order goes—based on destination, item type, or any criteria that suits your workflow.
Product information is handled through the built-in content module. Instead of re-entering the same details on every channel, you input everything once and push it out wherever needed. That includes categories, language versions, and descriptions—all kept consistent and centralized.
Why ChannelDock Beats Other Multichannel Inventory Management Tools
Many platforms split their focus: they’re either about inventory or about orders, and rarely include product information management. ChannelDock handles all three. Its modular structure means you only use—and pay for—what fits your current needs. If you’re small, you won’t be stuck with a bloated system. If you grow, you’re not boxed in.
Pricing is usage-based, not locked into rigid tiers, so that’s a relief for businesses that experience seasonal fluctuations or sudden growth. You’re not forced to pay enterprise rates just to add one more channel or client.
One of the standout tools is fulfillment routing. You can assign rules that send orders to different warehouses depending on logic you control. That kind of functionality is usually buried behind enterprise walls—or requires extra integrations. Here, it’s native.
ChannelDock is also genuinely easy to adopt. Feedback from users highlights the fast onboarding and low learning curve. Support is responsive, and the whole thing feels built to help, not impress.
Features: Inventory Management, WMS, and PIM Software in One
ChannelDock consists of three main components: Inventory, Orders (WMS), and PIM (Product Information Management). You can use just one or all three depending on what you’re running.
Inventory covers real-time stock syncing across all channels. You can manage bundles, set up restock alerts, create POs, and use forecasting tools to avoid stockouts. There’s mobile access and an API for more complex workflows.
Orders (WMS) is the fulfillment brain. It streamlines every step of the process—picking, packing, scanning, returns, and batch processing. Shipping label creation is built in, and you can easily connect the carriers you already work with.
PIM (Product Information Management) focuses on listings. Map categories using AI, push updates across platforms, and manage multilingual content from a single place.The pricing also shifts when PIM is combined with other modules.
When combined, these tools offer a complete solution for running an online store or managing fulfillment—no need to rely on a mix of disconnected apps like many systems still demand.
Pricing: Modular Plans for Inventory, Orders, and PIM
ChannelDock is free for sellers processing up to 500 orders per month. Beyond that, the platform follows a clear, modular pricing model. The Inventory module costs €45 per month, while the Orders (WMS) module starts at €90 per month. You only pay for the functions you need—no unnecessary extras.
Sellers can also access the fulfillment request tools without needing to subscribe to a paid plan, giving teams flexibility to explore the platform at their own pace. That flexibility helps teams explore the platform at their own pace.
