Connect Deposco to Parabola

Pull Deposco inventory, orders, shipments, and receipts into Parabola to automate fulfillment reporting, sales-channel reconciliation, and warehouse alerts.

Deposco is a cloud-based warehouse management system (WMS) and order-management platform built for fast-growing ecommerce brands, DTC companies, 3PLs, and retailers. Connecting Deposco to Parabola lets ops, finance, and supply-chain teams pull inventory, order, shipment, and receipt data into the same flows they use for sales-channel reconciliation, carrier audits, and BI reporting, without writing code.

Pull from Deposco

The Pull from Deposco step brings live data from your Deposco environment into Parabola so you can transform it, blend it with data from other systems, and trigger alerts on custom logic.

How to authenticate

Deposco uses OAuth 2.0 for API access. You’ll create an application in the Deposco Developer Portal, install it in your environment, and connect Parabola using the resulting credentials.

1. Create an application in the Deposco Developer Portal

   • Log in to the Deposco Developer Portal.
   • Navigate to Applications and click Create Application.
   • Complete the application form, including the access scopes you need. Since this step pulls data only, you only need Read access.
   • Submit your application for Deposco review and approval.
   • Once approved, you’ll receive a Client ID and Client Secret on the application’s detail page.
2. Install the application in your Deposco environment

   • After approval, use the installation link provided in the Developer Portal.
   • A user with admin access to your Deposco environment must open the link, log in, and grant access to the application.
   • This generates a Refresh Token for your application.
3. Connect in Parabola

   • In your Parabola flow, add a Pull from Deposco step.
   • Click Authorize and enter your Client ID, Client Secret, and Refresh Token.
   • Pick the Deposco resource you want to pull and configure any filters.

Available data

The Pull from Deposco step gives you access to a wide range of warehouse and supply-chain records:

• Inventory items and adjustments: SKUs, descriptions, dimensions, weights, pricing, UPCs, and item-tracking settings. Filter by facility, location, lot number, serial number, and inventory condition.
• Orders: Outbound fulfillment orders with customer details, line items, status, and fulfillment dates. Includes:
  • Customer orders (B2C and B2B) managed through Deposco’s order-management system.
  • Purchase orders: Inbound orders from suppliers with vendor details, line items, and expected receipt dates.
  • Transfer orders: Inbound and outbound transfers between facilities with shipment tracking.
• Returns: Return merchandise authorizations (RMAs) with reasons and disposition, and returns to suppliers with order and shipment details.
• Outbound shipments: Shipped orders with tracking numbers, carrier details, packages, costs, and delivery status.
• Receipts: Received quantities for purchase orders and inbound shipments by item, lot, and location.
• Warehouse operations: Facilities (warehouse and DC details including addresses, contacts, and operational settings) and locations (storage areas within facilities with zone assignments and storage details).

Common use cases

• Reconcile orders across sales channels: Join Deposco orders with Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, or Walmart to flag missing orders or status mismatches before customers notice.
• Audit carrier invoices: Cross-reference Deposco shipment costs against bills from DHL, FedEx, UPS, or EasyPost to catch overcharges and billing errors.
• Send fulfillment data to accounting: Push Deposco shipment and order data into NetSuite or QuickBooks Online for clean revenue and fulfillment-cost reporting.
• Validate receipts against POs: Compare Deposco receipts to purchase orders from your ERP (such as Fulfil or Cin7) to catch short-receipts and quantity mismatches.
• Trigger inventory and SLA alerts: Send a Slack message when inventory drops below reorder thresholds, when receipts don’t match expected quantities, or when orders miss their planned ship date.
• Build cross-functional dashboards: Export reconciled Deposco data to Google Drive, Smartsheet, Snowflake, or BigQuery so ops, finance, and CX work from the same numbers.

Tips for using Parabola with Deposco

• Match cadence to use case. Hourly during peak fulfillment for active monitoring, nightly for inventory reconciliation, weekly for performance reports and supplier reviews.
• Pull incrementally. Filter on order date or last-updated so each run only handles new or changed records.
• Combine inventory with order lines. Joining current stock against open orders surfaces what’s selling vs. sitting and helps pace replenishment.
• Card up complex flows. Group related steps into cards with notes so the next person can audit transformations and custom rules without guessing.
• Watch facility filters. When working multi-warehouse, filter early by facility to keep payloads focused and dashboards clear.
• Archive history for trends. Send reconciled Deposco data to a warehouse on a regular cadence so you can analyze trends without hitting the API repeatedly.

FAQ

Can I push data back into Deposco?

The Pull from Deposco step is read-only. To write back to Deposco (for example, creating an order or updating inventory), request a Deposco application with Write scopes and use a generic Send to an API step with your access token.

Does Parabola support Deposco webhooks?

The native step is API-pull only. For closer-to-real-time updates, schedule your flow on a tight cadence (every 15 to 30 minutes) or trigger Parabola via Parabola’s webhook trigger from a service that receives Deposco events.

What scopes should I request when creating my application?

Only the scopes you need. For Parabola pull flows, Read access on the resources you plan to use (orders, inventory, shipments, receipts) is enough. Add scopes later if you expand what the flow does.

Can I pull from multiple Deposco environments?

Yes. Add multiple Pull from Deposco steps and authorize each with separate Client ID, Client Secret, and Refresh Token values, then union the results downstream.

With Deposco and Parabola connected, the carrier audits, inventory reconciliations, and SLA reports your team rebuilds every week run on a schedule, with exceptions landing in the systems where ops, finance, and CX already work.
