Supply Chain and Warehouse Operations

Stop selling the same unit twice—across two different channels

A retailer processes orders across three sales channels with separate systems, so an item sells out on one channel while still showing available on another. Build one inventory allocation view across every channel you sell on.

Separate systems mean separate truths about stock

When each sales channel manages its own inventory count independently, they inevitably drift apart. A customer orders something that's already sold out on another channel, and now you're managing an oversell instead of a sale.

Allocate inventory against one shared pool across every channel, so availability reflects reality no matter where the order came from.

From order to exception handling
  1. 1. Order comes in from any sales channel and is validated
  2. 2. Inventory is allocated against available stock across channels
  3. 3. Order is routed to the correct fulfillment location
  4. 4. Fulfillment status is tracked to shipment
  5. 5. Exceptions—backorders, cancellations—trigger customer notification
