It is designed primarily for businesses selling complex physical inventory through a combination of ecommerce and physical locations. ## Local Commerce ILLUMA COM helps physical dealers make their local inventory discoverable online. Inventory available at a dealer location can be used for ecommerce and local product discovery so customers can: 1. Search online for a product. 2. Discover a nearby dealer that has the product in stock. 3. View the product online. 4. Purchase it online. 5. Pick it up at the store or have it shipped. This allows independent dealers to make inventory sitting in their stores and parts departments visible to customers searching online. ## Multi-Location Commerce ILLUMA COM supports businesses with multiple stores, warehouses, and inventory locations. The platform can maintain inventory separately by location while providing centralized management of products, orders, inventory, and ecommerce operations. This allows a multi-location dealer to expose appropriate local inventory online while maintaining location-level inventory accuracy. ## Marketplaces ILLUMA COM can connect dealer inventory and orders with major ecommerce marketplaces and sales channels.

ILLUMA COM can also use the ShipStation API to allow shipping labels to be created and printed from within the ILLUMA COM dashboard. More advanced plans can support multi-location fulfillment, order routing, dropshipping, warehouse operations, bin-level inventory, and related fulfillment workflows. ## Dropshipping ILLUMA COM supports dropship workflows for dealers that fulfill products through distributors and suppliers. Dropship capabilities can include vendor routing, order transmission, purchase orders, shipment tracking, inventory handling, and fulfillment automation.
