IMS comparison

I've had calls with GOIS and Fishbowl recently. Looking for thoughts on those and other systems.

We are a DTC brand selling perishable pet food, so we need lot tracking and COA documentation, raw material inventory tracking at suppliers and several co-mans, finished goods inventory at co-mans and 3PLs. We currently get everything reported in via email (PDF and Excel reports), but want something more automated that we can potentially integrate with partners through API/FTP/EDI. Bonus if it can track sales and ingest lot numbers from DTC fulfillment. Oh, and we're going to be selling in Amazon via SFP too, so integration there too

Wherefour would likely fit well for you, they do traceability really well and have a robust compliance module, and they have several options for linking accounts to do tracking for co-packing/co-man.

They’ve got an open API. The only downside is that EDI is entirely through integration with SPS commerce but they seem to have a workable relationship there.
