Automatically signals restocking when levels cross a threshold.

SKU/Catalog Management Service

Product data that inventory records are keyed against.

Warehouse Routing & Fulfillment Optimizer

Chooses which warehouse should ship a given order.

Stock Sync Event Stream

Propagates stock changes from sellers/warehouses to the rest of the system.

Oversell Prevention & Reconciliation Service

Catches and corrects any drift between reserved and actual stock.
