The Best TMS for SOS Inventory

Albatross offers a first-party integration with SOS Inventory, enabling automatic rate shopping, freight quotes, and seamless shipment tracking for small businesses.

If you’re running a small business on SOS Inventory, you already know how powerful it is for managing your products, orders, and warehouse operations. But when it comes to shipping, things can get complicated fast.

That’s where Albatross comes in. We’ve built a transportation management system designed specifically for businesses like yours, with a first-party integration with SOS Inventory that makes shipping as streamlined as the rest of your operations.

First-Party Integration

Unlike third-party connectors, Albatross has a native integration with SOS Inventory. This means faster sync times, fewer errors, and a seamless experience.

The Challenge: Shipping Without a TMS

For many small businesses using SOS Inventory, shipping is still a manual process. You’re logging into carrier portals, copying order details, comparing rates by hand, and then going back to update your records. It works, but it’s slow, error-prone, and doesn’t scale.

Without a transportation management system, you’re likely:

  • Overpaying for freight because you don’t have time to compare rates across carriers
  • Losing hours each week on manual data entry and order updates
  • Missing tracking information in your inventory system
  • Guessing at weights and dimensions instead of using accurate product data

These inefficiencies add up. For growing businesses, they can mean hundreds of man-hours lost every week and thousands of dollars left on the table.

Albatross: Built for SOS Inventory

Albatross isn’t just another TMS that happens to connect to SOS Inventory. We’ve built a first-party integration that makes the two systems work together seamlessly.

Rate Shopping

Automatically compare rates across all your carriers for every order.

Auto-Populate

Product weights and dimensions sync automatically from your Items.

Two-Way Sync

Shipments flow back to SOS Inventory with tracking and quotes.

Automatic Quotes and Rate Shopping

Once connected, Albatross automatically creates quotes for your SOS Inventory orders. We rate shop across all your connected carriers to find the best freight options, whether you’re shipping LTL, parcel, or truckload. No more logging into multiple carrier portals or manually requesting quotes.

Weights and Dimensions That Follow Your Products

You can add weights and dimensions directly to your Items in Albatross, synced from SOS Inventory. When you create a shipment, that product data auto-populates your freight details. No more measuring the same box twice or guessing at weights.

Shipments Synced Back to SOS Inventory

When you book a shipment in Albatross, we automatically add it back to SOS Inventory with the correct quote details and tracking information. Your inventory system stays up to date without any extra work on your end.
