Abstract :
The drop-shipping is a simplified business
model in order fulfilment, which allows retailers to sell
products without keeping any physical inventory. The
product order is sent to supplier, who ships the order
directly to the customers. Therefore, currently, around
27% of online retailers are starting to turn to the dropshipping business model as a method of fulfilling orders
from customers. But despite its advantages, the dropshipping business model still has disadvantages, such as
inventory problems. This paper proposes an approach
to solve the inventory problem in drop-shopping by
using web scraper. The web scraper extracts product
information from supplier website and stores it in the
database. For managing the extracted product
information and upload it to the marketplace, we
propose an Inventory Management System,
implemented as a web-based application. However,
users can save time doing drop-shipping without
extracting product information by visiting each product
page, managing product stock, and uploading to the
marketplace manually.
