Is real-time inventory synchronization available?

Yes, ShipNetwork offers real-time inventory synchronization across all connected platforms to ensure accurate, up-to-date stock levels. This capability is critical for eCommerce brands managing multiple sales channels, fulfillment centers, or product lines. By keeping inventory data in sync, you reduce the risk of overselling, avoid stockouts, and maintain a reliable customer experience across every touchpoint.

When an order is placed, inventory levels are instantly adjusted in ShipNetwork’s system and pushed to your connected platforms, such as Shopify, BigCommerce, Amazon, or custom-built storefronts. This ensures that your product availability is accurate everywhere your customers shop. Whether you're fulfilling from a single warehouse or distributing stock across multiple locations, real-time updates help you manage supply and demand with confidence.

The synchronization process works in both directions. You can also push inventory updates from your ERP or inventory management system into ShipNetwork’s platform. This is especially useful for brands that restock from multiple suppliers or need to reconcile inventory across complex operations. Changes in inventory status such as received shipments, returns, damaged goods, or cycle counts are reflected automatically, giving your team full visibility and control.

Real-time inventory sync also enables smarter order routing. If you use multiple fulfillment centers, ShipNetwork’s system can allocate orders based on available inventory at the most strategic location, reducing shipping time and cost. This functionality is key for maintaining service level agreements and meeting customer expectations for fast delivery.

Beyond fulfillment, synchronized inventory supports your marketing, customer service, and finance teams. By eliminating discrepancies between what’s shown online and what’s actually in stock, you prevent negative customer experiences and reduce the volume of service inquiries related to availability. Financial planning and demand forecasting also become more accurate with real-time inventory visibility.

In short, real-time inventory synchronization is a foundational feature of ShipNetwork’s fulfillment infrastructure. It helps your business operate more efficiently, reduce errors, and maintain trust with customers by ensuring that what you sell is always what you can deliver.
