## Key features

- **Digital picklists and scanning:** Picklists generate picking routes, and barcode scanning at pick time feeds built-in quality control.
- **Warehouse mapping:** Map warehouses into zones, groups and bin types, and track stock transfers between locations.
- **Kits and bundles:** Build kits in the system; component-level inventory updates automatically as kit orders arrive.
- **Marketplace and shipping links:** Over 100 integrations, including eBay, Amazon, Walmart and shipping aggregators such as ShipStation.
- **Serialization and 3PL tools:** Serialization, product substitution and a 3PL client portal are part of SkuVault Core, offered in North America only.

## Good for

- Operations that ship from several regional warehouses
- Teams that rely on barcode scanning to catch pick errors

## Worth knowing

- No price is published: it depends on monthly order volume, custom requirements and add-on modules.
- SkuVault Core is only available in North America, per Linnworks' pricing page.
- skuvault.com now redirects to Linnworks, which sells it as a package next to its own platform.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Inventory and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- You could not: Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier.
- You could not: Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
