How real-time is the inventory data?

Typically within 1–5 minutes of your ERP/WMS. For high-velocity items, we can implement near-real-time sync (under 60 seconds). The right refresh frequency depends on your order volume and inventory velocity.

Can we show different inventory visibility to different dealers?

Yes. You can show exact quantities to top-tier dealers and range indicators to others. You can also restrict warehouse visibility by region or dealer tier.

What about inventory at 3PL locations?

We integrate with major 3PL systems and WMS platforms to show inventory across owned warehouses and 3PL locations in a unified view.

Does showing real inventory risk sharing competitive information?

You control what's visible. Many manufacturers show ranges instead of exact counts, hide certain warehouses, or only show availability for items the dealer has purchased before. We configure visibility rules to match your comfort level.

B2B Commerce · Inventory Visibility

Dealers check stock in real time instead of calling you.

Your dealers call or email to check stock before placing orders because they can't see what's available. We give them live ATP visibility across all your warehouses — available, allocated, in-transit, and expected replenishment dates — straight from your ERP and WMS.

The Problem

Stock Checks by Phone Kill Productivity on Both Sides

✕Dealers call to check stock before ordering — tying up CSRs and slowing the ordering process

✕Stock information is stale by the time it reaches the dealer — available quantities change by the hour

✕No visibility into allocated vs. available inventory leads to orders that can't be fulfilled

✕Dealers can't see when out-of-stock items will be replenished, so they order from competitors

What We Deliver

Service Scope

Live ATP by Warehouse

Available-to-promise quantities by warehouse location, updated in real time from your ERP/WMS. Dealers see exactly what's available to ship.

Allocation Visibility

Show what's on-hand vs. what's allocated to other orders. No more overselling or disappointing dealers with backorders.

Replenishment Dates

Expected restock dates for out-of-stock items based on purchase orders, production orders, and in-transit inventory.

Multi-Warehouse View

Inventory across all warehouse locations in a single view. Dealers can choose ship-from location based on proximity and availability.

Low-Stock Alerts

Configurable alerts for dealers when frequently ordered items hit low-stock thresholds. Proactive notification before stockouts.

Inventory Search

Search inventory by SKU, description, category, or cross-reference. Find available substitutes when primary items are out of stock.

How We Work

Engagement Process

Inventory Source Mapping

Map your inventory data sources — ERP, WMS, 3PL systems. Define which locations, stock types, and quantities to expose to dealers.

Integration Development

Build real-time integration with your inventory systems. Configure ATP calculation logic — on-hand minus allocated minus safety stock.

Display Configuration

Configure how inventory is displayed — exact quantities, ranges (50+, 100+), or in-stock/out-of-stock. Different visibility rules for different dealer tiers.

Testing & Validation

Validate ATP accuracy against your ERP. Test with real order scenarios to verify that displayed availability matches what can actually ship.

Dealer Rollout

Launch inventory visibility with dealer training. Monitor accuracy and gather feedback on display format and usefulness.
