An Easy Work-Around for Supply Chain Disruptions
|
These are not normal times. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is inevitable that once-stable supply chains will have hiccups.

Featured Feature: BROADCAST REQUEST
BROADCAST REQUEST is an email communication tool that allows you to send an inquiry to every member of a selected inventory-sharing community. This feature is used when a needed item is not found in a
SEARCH at WarehouseTWO. Many WarehouseTWO members do not upload inventory data to their accounts. But these members own inventory. It is simply not visible at WarehouseTWO.
BROADCAST REQUEST helps you access this "hidden" inventory via an email request.

BROADCAST REQUEST.

WarehouseTWO Tip of the Month
Easily export ALL inventory data* with three mouse clicks. To export all of the inventory data available for sale from peer wholesalers at WarehouseTWO, follow these simple steps:

- Enter into the Part Number field a single percent sign ("%").
- Click on the "Search" button.
- When the search result has completed, click on the button labeled, "Export to File".

Extra tip B: the ability to use a percent sign "("%") as a wild card character is available only to Level 3, Level 4 and Level 5 members.
