Real-time inventory sync across channels

**1. Purpose**

1. Automatedly synchronize inventory counts in real-time across multiple sales, e-commerce, and warehouse platforms to prevent overselling, automate stock updates, optimize reordering, automate drop-shipping fulfillment, automate channel listing accuracy, and ensure unified, automatable data for supply and demand decisions.

2. Automate detection of inventory changes (restock, sale, return, manual adjustment) and propagate updates automatedly to all connected channels without manual intervention.

3. Automate reduction of human error, automate out-of-stock flagging, automate supply chain efficiency, automate reporting, and automate inventory analysis for wholesale marine suppliers focusing on boat covers.

**2. Trigger Conditions**

1. Inventory level change on any connected platform (manual update, received shipment, sale order, return processed).

2. Automated API/webhook call caused by a new order, order cancellation, or stock reconciliation event.

3. Scheduled automated polling or real-time event subscription on inventory repositories, automate batch jobs for legacy systems.
