The consignment software manages the consignment inventory, and the basis of consignment inventory relates to ownership. The customer or consignee has possession of goods or inventory but it is still owned by the consignor or the supplier and will be recorded as inventory on their accounting records. Change of ownership does not occur when goods have been receipted contrary to most of the standard inventory management systems. But in some cases, this requires consignment software to be managed differently by a manual process or through a separate system.
Consignment software offers a leverage to consignor for getting stock in front of customers through the exposure of goods in the store. Thus the consignor gets the opportunity to get unproven and new products in the market as form of market testing, but consignor has to bear the costs of inventory. Thus consignment software is beneficial for both the customers seeking new variety of goods for their consumers and for the suppliers looking to get new product in the market space.
