WildCRM

WildCRM is a cloud service for digitalization of business on the Wildberries marketplace. It is intended for managers, business managers, suppliers. This is a worthy replacement for labor-intensive calculations that are performed through Excel. We would like to immediately draw attention to the fact that this service does not provide free reports, that is, you will have to pay for its use. In particular, the formation of one weekly report will cost you about 1,400 rubles. But you can also purchase the maximum package of 60 reports, which will be enough for you for a whole year (+1 additional bonus month) for less than 40,000 rubles.

Among the main functional capabilities of the WildCRM service, we highlight the provision of advanced statistics for business, namely:

  1. Weekly reports on the financial activities of the business on the marketplace, which will allow you to estimate the profit for the week for each of the product items. It will be provided in the form of a summary table, which will indicate the articles and the corresponding data for each of them.
  2. Master report. This is a kind of summary information for any period of time, including the most important indicators for you. On its basis, the salary of managers is calculated in accordance with the contribution to the overall level of business income made by each of them.
  3. A report containing information on the cost of product items. Based on this information, you can analyze your own income level, taking into account the amount of money spent on the purchase of sold goods. If necessary, you can also enter delivery costs here, which will ultimately allow you to get the most accurate financial picture.

Also, using this service, you will be able to see detailed profit and loss reports, as well as detailed analytics for each product item in accordance with its article number. It is convenient that in the latter case the graph shows the dynamics for each product depending on the week, month.

  • availability of information on the cost of goods;
  • automatic download via API, informative detailing of Excel;
  • availability of options for sending notifications to the Telegram messenger.

That is, you will be able to evaluate the convenience and efficiency of this service only after purchasing at least one report. In addition, it does not provide for the collection of information on advertising, there are no dashboards with a visual display of information. And again: the service works exclusively with the Wildberries marketplace
