Dealing with multiple suppliers and tracking orders with spreadsheets also proved time-consuming. Implementing Prediko aimed to streamline inventory management and enhance collaboration.
How Kimaï solved this with Prediko
Kimaï chose Prediko to solve their inventory management challenges, and Sidney swiftly set up their Prediko account with a single click, seamlessly integrating it with their three Shopify stores. Prediko efficiently assimilated all their historical sales, revenue, and product data within just 30 minutes.
