A Sellercloud case study with Cellular Professor

Introduction

Cellular Professor, founded in 2015 and headquartered outside of Chicago in Glenview, Illinois, has humble beginnings as a reseller of cell phones on eBay. Because most of his products were refurbished and varying widely in aspects like color, size, and brand, Founder and President Alex Sabau needed a solution to reliably, consistently, and efficiently sell and track his inventory. He found that in Sellercloud.

The challenge

Because everything was unique, they had a terrible time keeping track of where something was physically in their warehouse because there were so many different SKUs. Sabau explained that, at times, it would take nearly an hour to find something he’d sold. He had started Cellular Professor with another e-commerce sales platform but wasn’t getting the support he needed. Sabau emphasized that they would open tickets and they would sit for weeks without resolution.

The solution

Sabau knew that he needed an all-in-one tool that he could centralize all his inventory on that would grow with him and Cellular Professor as time went on. Because his products were unique and oftentimes refurbished, he also needed a solution that would allow him to start selling hundreds or thousands of products online with as little downtime as possible. For Sabau, the answer to his challenge was clear when he found Skustack, Sellercloud’s warehouse management system. This included the ‘SKU-to-SKU Transfer’ feature, which allowed Cellular Professor to quickly and easily upload large quantities of unique items to multiple sales channels with minimal effort.

The results

Sabau said, “The platform we were on previously just didn’t cut it; we were limited to the few that we were already on.” He continued, “We’ve refined our own internal processes and systems so that we know exactly where everything is. We can have an order logged in our inventory and shipped in literal minutes now.”

According to Sabau, sales have grown by 400-500% since partnering with Sellercloud. Sabau explains, “We don’t even have to log in to Amazon anymore because of the Sellercloud API.” He ends by saying, “We’re also about to double the size of our warehouse. Much of that is thanks to Sellercloud.”
