Improve Consignor Relationships with Consignor Access

Consignor Access enables consignors and vendors to manage their own inventory remotely. The shop owner controls the permissions of Consignor Access, allowing for a variety of consignor and/or vendor relationships from allowing full store control to complete consignor autonomy. Consignor Access is especially useful for vendor malls, dealer malls, and antique malls that focus on renting booths.

Consignor Central is a handy tool for notifying our consignors about seasonal changes, best sellers, most wanted items and changes in store hours – at all 3 of our locations! Consignors log in and receive pertinent store updates while checking their inventory and balances.

Why should I enable Consignor Access for my consignors or vendors?

For many resale businesses and stores, managing consignors and vendors could be its own full-time job. By enabling SimpleConsign’s Consignor and Vendor management tools, including Consignor Access, these stores can offload the time they’d spend managing their consignor's inventories to their consignors. This is especially helpful for vendor malls, dealer malls, and antique malls that primarily sell real estate rather than second hand merchandise.

Can my store still own inventory management even if I have Consignor Access enabled?

Yes! You control just how much autonomy you want your consignors to have when it comes to inventory management and merchandising. If you choose to keep inventory management a store-only functionality, your consignors and vendors can use Consignor Access to stay up to date on contracts and store-wide communications, as well as monitor their sales and remaining accepted inventory.
