SUVA Beauty review for AirPower
March 26, 2020
We have been using this app for a few months as it allows for the easy movement of current (and past) data to move into Airtable. Airtable is a very powerful tool that doesn't require you to be a programmer but solves the gap between a programmed solution and a messy google sheet. The Airpower team is very responsive and wants to really solve solutions for your business. The real key to this is that it moves the data and can format and link things all in the process itself. So essentially this beats a excel/google sheet export because it can create linked tables across all things that allow you to basically make you own Shopify-Airtable ERP. If you have experience with a full service ERP where you pay thousands of dollars (setup + monthly) you will find that it is very difficult to master and actually provide good data for a lean type of ecommerce business that also serves other channels like Amazon and wholesale. So, with this integration, you can essentially create the following: 1) Data backup of shopify orders - This is mainly for the benefit of accountants and other parties since then you don't need to give them access to your shopify account(s) 2) Inventory System - Yes, I said this correctly. You can use this to track you inventory across multiple channels 3) Order Management (multi channels) - You can import your ebay/amazon/amazon fba/wholesale orders into airtable and easily see inventory movements and costing in real time 4) Accounting - You can even create a decent double entry accounting system. You would add tables for bank reconciliation, expenses, purchases and financial statements that would roll-up data. The caveat being that it would still be ideal to utilize your cloud accountants preferred system like Xero or Quickbooks because of the specialization taxation tracking that is hard to duplicate in Airtable. The potential of this integration is huge and I recommend you try it for a few months and take the time to review your needs with the air power team as they are happy to help.
