Why You Need It
Multichannel brands can’t effectively manage inventory across channels when constrained by manual approaches or multiple systems. If you’re selling direct-to-consumers (DTC) from your website, storefront, or Shopify store, as well as via multiple retail partners (B2B), you know the challenges in keeping everyone happy.
On top of that, addressing each retailer's compliance requirements when dropshipping, performing retail replenishment, etc., is time-consuming and error prone.
ARE YOU:
- Selling via multiple channels?
- Managing retailer compliance?
- Supporting dropshipping or retail replenishment?
- Expanding sales channels?
AND WORSE, ARE YOU struggling with:
- One channel stealing inventory from other channels
- Guaranteeing inventory for strategic retail partners or key orders
- Over-promising inventory that’s already committed
- Ensuring a certain level of stock on e-commerce websites
- Volume spiking in one channel impacting fulfilling other channels

How Multichannel Inventory Works
Common approaches to managing multiple sales channels are flawed; they increase fulfillment cost and complexity by either:
- Separating SKUs per channel and maintaining separate inventory
- Keeping the same SKU but physically separating inventory in two warehouse zones
With Stord One Commerce, you can transform your multichannel order management operations, driving both revenue and customer satisfaction.
Prevent Overselling and Under-delivering
Multichannel Inventory allows you to reserve inventory for key accounts and partners, prioritizing their orders for reserved SKUs. This helps you avoid overselling and under-delivering, ensuring a consistent and satisfying customer experience
See the Big Picture with Cross-Channel Inventory Visibility
Gain a complete view of your inventory availability across all channels. With Multichannel Inventory, reserve and buffer amounts by channel, ensuring you always have a clear picture of your stock levels. This means you can promise each SKU on each channel with confidence.
Simplify Product Listing Management and Tracking Across Channels
Make it easier to list products across different marketplaces or for different retailer requirements. Maintain inventory item SKU simplicity with channel-specific product versions or listings (marketplace aliases) where you need them.
Automate and Simplify with Backorder Automations
Automatically manage inventory shortage behavior based on sales channel or other order attributes. Rules-based backorder automations remove the need for manual intervention, making your operations more efficient and reliable.
