Sales and Inventory ManagementPurpose
1. Maintain real-time consistency of product listings—title, description, images, price, stock quantity—across eCommerce site and multiple online marketplaces.
2. Eliminate manual entry by automating SKU creation, updates, and delistings for new airsoft products or stock changes.
3. Avoid overselling/out-of-stock issues by synchronizing inventory counts when sales occur on any channel.
4. Streamline workflow so edits to listings (pricing, product details) reflect instantly everywhere to maximize sales and reduce admin overhead.
5. Automate compliance, ensuring removed products are instantly hidden across channels for regulatory adherence.
Trigger Conditions
1. New product added to primary inventory management or POS system.
2. Product detail update, media change, or re-categorization event occurs.
3. Inventory level changes from online/offline sale, return, or restock.
4. Item is marked discontinued, out-of-stock, or non-sellable by admin.
5. Scheduled routine sync or webhook event from any connected platform.
