Real-time inventory sync across Shopify, Amazon, wholesale, and fulfillment centers. Automatic reorder triggers and low-stock alerts. Scale channels without inventory chaos.
Multi-channel retailer eliminated stockout losses through real-time inventory sync and automated reorder triggers
Reserve quantity automation prevented overselling across channels during flash sales and high-volume periods
Operations team freed from manual inventory updates, reconciliation spreadsheets, and channel-by-channel stock monitoring
7 multi-channel ecommerce brands deployed inventory automation in 2024
Operations team updates inventory in Shopify, then Amazon, then wholesale portal, then 3PL system. Sync delays of 2-6 hours create overselling during high-volume periods. Reconciliation happens after problems occur.
Basic inventory sync tools poll systems every 15-30 minutes. Flash sales cause oversells before sync catches up. Reserve quantity logic doesn't account for pending orders across channels.
Weekly review of stock levels in spreadsheets. Reorders placed manually based on general velocity. Fast-moving SKUs stockout between reviews. Slow movers accumulate dead inventory.
Inventory updates propagate across all sales channels within seconds of order placement. Reserve quantities account for pending orders across channels. Flash sales and high-volume periods handled without overselling.
Reorder triggers based on velocity by SKU and channel. Lead time factored into reorder point calculations. Seasonal demand patterns recognized. Purchase orders generated automatically when thresholds hit.
Single source of truth for available inventory across all channels. Low-stock alerts by urgency level. Velocity tracking identifies slow movers before they become dead stock. Executive dashboards show inventory health.
"We went from constant inventory fire drills to complete control. Our team focuses on growth strategy instead of manually updating stock counts across five systems."
— Operations Director, Apparel Brand
Real-time inventory sync across all sales channels and fulfillment locations. Maintains single source of truth for available stock while accounting for pending orders, reserve quantities, and in-transit inventory. Automated reorder triggers prevent stockouts without overstocking.
Includes: Real-time sync engine, multi-channel inventory tracking, reserve quantity logic, velocity-based reorder triggers, low-stock alerting, purchase order automation, dead stock identification, fulfillment center integration, Shopify and Amazon connectors.
Unlike basic inventory apps that sync periodically, this is an event-driven system that updates all channels instantly when inventory changes. We handle the complexity of reserve logic, fulfillment routing, and reorder automation so you never oversell or stockout.
Week 1: Map current inventory systems and sync requirements. Analyze historical sales velocity and stockout patterns. Week 2-3: Build sync engine connecting Shopify, Amazon, 3PL, and other channels. Configure reserve quantity and reorder logic. Week 4: Test with subset of SKUs, validate sync accuracy, tune reorder thresholds. Week 5: Full deployment with monitoring dashboards and ops team training.
Integrates with Shopify for DTC sales, Amazon Seller Central for marketplace inventory, 3PL APIs for warehouse stock, wholesale platforms, and ERP systems. Webhooks ensure instant updates. Monitoring tracks sync latency and flags failures immediately.
Timeline
4-5 weeks to production deployment
We integrate with legacy systems too—FTP file transfers, email-based updates, even manual portal scraping when necessary. Modern inventory logic on top of any backend system.
Simple now, complex when you add Amazon or wholesale. Build the foundation before scaling channels. Automation prevents the inventory chaos that kills multi-channel expansion.
We deploy gradually—test with non-critical SKUs first, run parallel with existing process, cut over only when validated. Zero disruption to operations during implementation.
