Item number
What is an item number?
An item number is a unique identifier assigned to a specific product within an inventory system. It helps businesses track, store, and manage products efficiently across locations and sales channels.
Item numbers in eCommerce
In eCommerce, item numbers are essential for accurate order fulfillment, inventory visibility, and system integration. They are often used in the form of SKUs or internal product codes. With everstox, item numbers are synced across all connected warehouses and integrated platforms – enabling real-time stock updates, picking accuracy, and reporting.
Example for an item number
A T-shirt in size M and color blue has its own item number. When a customer places an order, the everstox platform ensures that the exact variation is picked, packed, and shipped correctly from the right location.
