Introducing Real-time Multi-Warehouse Sync
Once a business runs more than one warehouse or sells across several channels, the biggest risk is selling stock you do not have. Real-time Multi-Warehouse Sync was built to remove that risk.
Stock is deducted the moment an order lands
Every connected sales channel deducts from the central balance as soon as the order is placed, so the availability a customer sees and the number the warehouse works from are the same. Overselling and surprise stockouts stop happening.
Fulfil from the warehouse closest to the customer
The system helps pick the warehouse based on the delivery address and the stock on hand in each location, and records which branch fulfilled the order so shipping costs and delivery status stay traceable.
- Transfer stock between branches with a full movement history.
- Track order status per warehouse and per sales channel.
- See one combined stock figure while still drilling into each branch.
How to get started
Connect the channels you already sell on, set up your warehouses and storage zones, then switch on real-time deduction. Teams new to multi-warehouse operations can start with two locations and expand once the transfer process is second nature.
