Keep SkuVault Core, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace SkuVault Core you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
What you could make
- Inventory and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier.
- Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. SkuVault Core’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
