The Problem:
If you have several eCommerce stores where you sell the same catalog items, or even sell the same products online and offline simultaneously allocating and displaying an accurate inventory can be a logistical nightmare.
One example is that a product may be “sold out” offline by one of your in house reps, and this, now requires you to update the status of the product to be “sold out” everywhere before you oversell it.
Another example maybe, one of your faster-performing sites may have “sold out” the allocated quantities for a product on the site while the other slower performing sites may still have quantities that need to be allocated to the faster-selling sites.
My favorites: the goods just arrived but it will take hours before the inventory will be posted to all the sites, or you need to make a quick change to some of the items, and someone has to manually update them on each instance.
Therefore, a centralized system running automatically and/or on-demand that can synchronize your inventory figures on all of your sales channels is needed to display them near real-time accuracy and to optimize the sales potential, the investment on inventory, and the customer satisfaction.
Not having the inventory figures up to date can cost you in:
- Missed sales
- Customer dissatisfaction
- Inefficient, inaccurate and costly methods of management
- Over or under-investment in inventory
