What leaders see
Customers and partners still ask for status manually.
The portal exists, but email, calls, spreadsheets, and internal screenshots remain the dependable path.

Real-Time 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.
01
The Problem
Stock Checks by Phone Kill Productivity on Both Sides
Portal problems begin when a cleaner interface is placed over fragmented records, permissions, and workflows without resolving who owns the transaction and what each audience may see.
What is actually happening
The experience is disconnected from the operating record.
Pricing, inventory, orders, documents, permissions, and exceptions do not follow one governed path.
What gets worse
Self-service creates back-office exception work.
Users see incomplete or stale information while internal teams reconcile what the portal accepted.
02
What Changes
What Real-Time Inventory Visibility includes.
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.
01
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.
02
Allocation Visibility
Show what's on-hand vs. what's allocated to other orders. No more overselling or disappointing dealers with backorders.
03
Replenishment Dates
Expected restock dates for out-of-stock items based on purchase orders, production orders, and in-transit inventory.
04
Multi-Warehouse View
Inventory across all warehouse locations in a single view. Dealers can choose ship-from location based on proximity and availability.
05
Low-Stock Alerts
Configurable alerts for dealers when frequently ordered items hit low-stock thresholds. Proactive notification before stockouts.
06
Inventory Search
Search inventory by SKU, description, category, or cross-reference. Find available substitutes when primary items are out of stock.

How It Fits Your Operations
How Real-Time Inventory Visibility fits your operation.
Manufacturing PortalsWhich audience needs which records and actions without exposing internal systems or another party's information.
Governance dependencyThe portal needs explicit permissions, governed source records, transaction ownership, and exception paths before external users can rely on it.
Permissioned records and actions
accounts and roles
pricing and products
inventory and orders
documents
status and exceptions
What must be defined before engineering begins
- What the business needs to change and why.
- Which systems, records, risks, and readiness gaps shape the work.
- What should be built, how it fits the architecture, and in what order.

FAQ
Questions that usually decide the scope.
Straight answers to what operators ask before committing budget to this work.
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.
