Inventory Management System
Retail & Logistics
The Challenge
A multi-channel retailer was struggling with inventory synchronization across Shopify, Amazon, and three physical warehouses. Stock levels were frequently incorrect, leading to overselling and customer complaints. The team spent hours daily manually reconciling inventory across systems. They needed a unified platform that would provide a single source of truth for inventory across all channels.
Our Approach
We built a centralized inventory management system that integrates with Shopify, Amazon, and internal warehouse systems via APIs and webhooks. The system uses PostgreSQL as a single source of truth and propagates inventory changes to all channels in real-time. We implemented conflict resolution logic to handle simultaneous updates from multiple sources and automated alerts for low stock, discrepancies, and synchronization failures.
The Outcome
Inventory sync errors dropped by 90%, virtually eliminating overselling incidents. The team no longer spends time on manual reconciliation, saving approximately 20 hours per week. Real-time visibility into inventory across all channels has enabled better purchasing decisions and improved cash flow management. Customer complaints related to inventory issues decreased by 85%.
