The automated ordering process enables orders to be processed more quickly and optimizes customer service.

Based on real-time data, online store operators can quickly and easily keep track of stock levels and prioritize orders accordingly. In addition, gFM-Business can also automatically trigger stock orders if the stock level of certain products falls below a defined value. Manual monitoring of stock levels is therefore no longer necessary.
