Real-time inventory refers to inventory records that are updated immediately as stock moves, through integration with point-of-sale, warehouse, and ERP systems. Having real-time visibility into inventory is essential for agile supply chain operations. It helps prevent stockouts, enables faster decision-making, and supports omnichannel fulfillment strategies. Inventory optimization platforms leverage real-time data to adjust reorder points, safety stock levels, and fulfillment priorities dynamically. This responsiveness enhances resilience and customer satisfaction.
