Many businesses sell through multiple channels
Shopify, WooCommerce, marketplaces, retail, wholesale, direct sales.
But inventory often tells a different story in each one.
One platform says 24 units.
Another says 11.
Warehouse says maybe 17.
That creates overselling, missed sales, and confused teams.
