About This Automation
Multichannel inventory sync means checking stock levels on every sales channel and in-store, then reconciling counts by hand. Manual checks are slow and error-prone, so oversells and mismatched listings often go unnoticed for hours.
An automated version pulls live counts from every channel, matches them by SKU, and pushes corrections back out once confirmed. Retailers gain faster discrepancy detection and fewer oversell incidents with far less manual effort.

How The Automation Works

The Inventory Reconciliation pulls current on-hand counts from all three channels and lines them up SKU by SKU.
The automation compares counts across channels and flags any SKU that is oversold or mismatched beyond the set threshold.
SKUs above the risk threshold post for the Fulfilment Coordinator to confirm before the adjustment goes live.
Confirmed counts push automatically to update available quantity.
Confirmed counts sync to prevent overselling on that channel.
Inventory valuation changes are logged for accurate cost of goods sold.
