Business value
Because inventory moves quickly in an omnichannel environment, it can be difficult to get an accurate assessment of stock on hand. Instead of viewing actual on-hand quantity, some retailers are fine with being presented with an informational message that explains the current stock status and gives a warning to customers that an item quantity is potentially low or out of stock.
Feature details
This feature provides users with the ability to define inventory buffers and inventory-level profiles during merchandising, and API access to the inventory-level indicators that are derived from the inventory buffers.
