# SkuVault

## Overview

The **SkuVault Connector** in **DBSync Cloud Workflow** enables secure integration between **SkuVault** - a cloud-based inventory and warehouse management system - and your enterprise applications such as eCommerce platforms, ERP, accounting, order management, and analytics tools.

Using DBSync's SkuVault connector, the customer can directly connect to the SkuVault Warehouse Management System. This allows you to query, add, and modify various types of records - including Items, Vendors, Sales order, Purchase order and others. The connector uses the SkuVault API to move data in and out of SkuVault. Integrating with SkuVault consists of REST calls using a JSON request/response made over an HTTPS connection.

## Key Benefits

* **Accurate Inventory Visibility:** Maintain consistent stock levels across all sales channels.
