What is HubLogix Used For?
HubLogix is a leading cloud-based Inventory Management software, it is designed to support small, medium and large size business. HubLogix received a rating of 3.1 from ITQlick team. The software cost is considered affordable (2.2/5) when compared to alternative solutions.
HubLogix can handle purchasing using relatively low-tech means like PDF and email, through more sophisticated options such as Excel files and FTP uploads, all the way up to APIs and older (but widespread) communication methods like EDI. Understandably, they prefer to use the more structured methods as they tend to be faster and more reliable.
In software development, we talk about the “ilities” – less specific requirements like reliability, flexibility, scalability and so on. With so many vendors, all using different file formats and communication methods, there’s a lot that can go wrong and make those “ilities” hard to attain.
HubLogix address that with constant monitoring, so they can make fixes before there’s any serious impact. They also develop relationships with vendors, particularly those used heavily by their clients, so they can be notified in advance when systems are going down or changes are made. The constant flow of orders and client feedback also help keep all the integrations working.
No retailer wants the customer-facing side of their business to stop working. But if an integration with a dropshipper stops working, for example, there’s no immediate impact on the consumer. They don’t know what should happen in the background, or even have any reason to care, as long as they get their order quickly and accurately. So a short-term breakdown in a supplier integration can be covered manually, until things are back to how they should be.

In Closing
Purchasing automation is of huge value, and HubLogix have tackled it to an extent I’ve not seen before. With all the platforms and services linked together, the potential to run a store on “autopilot”, as they call it, is quite real.
HubLogix are certainly innovative, but do they have the reliability, customer service and ease-of-use to back it up? This is where I have to step aside and let you hear from sellers who use the software to manage their business. You can find HubLogix in the Web Retailer directory.
