Business context

The challenge behind the workflow.

Customers and staff see different stock availability because warehouse, store, and online records update at different times.

Connect demand, inventory, orders, fulfillment, and customer permissions. Give merchandising and operations teams a common view of what changed, where the data is incomplete, and which action needs review.

Data to bring together

  • Warehouse stock
  • Store inventory
  • Online availability events

Source systems are examples of the data required. Confirm connector availability, permitted access, refresh timing, and the authoritative owner before implementation.

Your workflow

How Genedata supports the work.

Configure one connected workflow, then reuse its mappings, definitions, and review process as the business grows.

  1. 01

    Connect and prepare

    Normalize stock states and retain the freshness timestamp of each source.

    Build the preparation as a reusable visual workflow or reviewed code, with explicit source mappings and validation checks.
  2. 02

    Investigate and validate

    Compare available, reserved, and in-transit quantities and isolate mismatches.

    Keep shared definitions and source versions with the analysis so another team can reproduce the result.
  3. 03

    Publish and review

    Deliver an inventory exception view by item, location, and owner.

    Make the output available to the right people with appropriate access, ownership, and review evidence.
What the next team receives

An inventory availability workspace

Ease of use

Make the next run easier.

One reconciliation model replaces repeated checks across separate inventory screens.

Start from one approved example. Save the agreed mappings and definitions, publish the reviewed output, and let the next team follow the same evidence instead of rebuilding the preparation.

Measure your own improvement

Age of unresolved availability mismatches

Record a baseline before the pilot and compare like-for-like work afterward. Results depend on source quality, configuration, and adoption.

Review and responsibility

Operations confirms physical and committed stock before correcting records.

AI with professional judgment.

Use AI to explain anomalies and draft planning commentary. Merchandising, pricing, customer outreach, and stock decisions stay with authorized teams.

Get started

Try the workflow with your team.

Use representative, approved sample data. Agree the expected output and a review owner before extending the workflow to a live process.
