IQ Retail and Takealot, explained
How does Takealot connect to IQ Retail?
An IQ Retail Takealot integration publishes leadtime stock from the branch or warehouse that ships to Takealot, allowing for till sales, and brings Takealot sales and statements into IQ Retail so stores and marketplace share one stock picture.
IQ Retail + Takealot
How do till sales affect Takealot offers?
In an IQ Retail business, stock is sold over the counter all day. If the Takealot offer still shows yesterday’s quantity, a busy store can sell the last units and leave a Takealot order unfulfilled, which hurts your seller performance. We publish stock from IQ Retail frequently, hold back a buffer on fast movers and can exclude store-only items, so Takealot only sees stock you can genuinely ship.
