Introduction
One of the biggest nightmares for an e-commerce seller is “overselling.” This happens when you have one item left, and it sells on Shopee and Lazada at the same time. To prevent this, you must sync inventory across channels. Manual updates are slow and prone to human error, leading to canceled orders and penalized seller accounts.
The Importance of Real-Time Stock Updates
When you sync inventory across channels, you ensure that your stock levels are accurate in real-time. This is especially important during flash sales or mega-sale events like 12.12, where hundreds of orders can come in within minutes. If your inventory is not synced, you will inevitably end up disappointing customers and damaging your brand reputation.
Automating with Zetpy
For Malaysian SMEs, the most reliable way to sync inventory across channels is by using Zetpy. Zetpy connects to all your sales channels—including your Brand.com site—and acts as a central inventory hub. When a sale occurs on TikTok Shop, Zetpy instantly reduces the stock count on Shopee and Lazada. This level of automation is essential for any business looking to scale without hiring a massive operations team.
Integrating with Fulfillment
The ability to sync inventory across channels also makes your fulfillment process much smoother. When your inventory data is clean, you can integrate it with logistics platforms like Delyva. This allows you to fulfill orders faster because you always know exactly how much stock you have and where it is located.
Data Visibility
Finally, when you sync inventory across channels, you get a clearer picture of your business’s health. You can see which products are moving fast and which are “dead stock.” By using these insights alongside Laksana.ai, you can make better purchasing decisions and optimize your cash flow.
