Inventory accuracy
Direct answer
Inventory and fulfilment management keeps stock accurate and moving across every channel you sell on. It covers unifying inventory between POS, ERP, marketplaces and your own store, setting per-channel safety buffers, demand forecasting and purchase planning, FBA and 3PL coordination, order routing and split shipments, expiry and batch control where relevant, and reconciliation of stock and orders across systems. AKESTECH builds and operates this so overselling stops, stockouts reduce and working capital is not tied up in the wrong SKUs.
What you get
Everything included, end to end.
02
Demand Forecasting
Forecasting by SKU, channel and season so purchase orders are placed on evidence rather than instinct.
03
FBA and 3PL Coordination
Inbound planning, shipment creation, reconciliation and storage fee management across fulfilment partners.
04
Order Routing
Rules that route each order to the best fulfilment location by cost, proximity and SLA commitment.
05
Batch and Expiry Control
Batch tracking, expiry management and FIFO rotation for food, pharma and cosmetic categories.
06
Reconciliation
Regular reconciliation of stock and orders across every system, with variances investigated and corrected.
Architecture
One stock truth across every channel
Overselling happens when each channel holds its own stock number and updates lag behind reality. We centralize inventory into one source of truth with per-channel buffers and defined sync cadence — so the last unit can never be sold twice.
- Centralized stock — POS, ERP, marketplaces and D2C reading one ledger.
- Safety buffers — Per-channel reserves sized to velocity and sync frequency.
- Event-driven sync — Updates pushed on sale and receipt, not nightly batches.
- Variance alerts — Mismatches flagged in hours, investigated the same day.
Planning
Forecasting that prevents stockouts
Stockouts cost twice: the lost sale today and the lost rank tomorrow, especially on Amazon. Demand models built per SKU, channel and season — with supplier lead times baked in — turn reordering from guesswork into a scheduled operation.
- SKU-level forecasts — Velocity, seasonality and events modeled per product and channel.
- Reorder automation — Purchase triggers firing on evidence, not on empty shelves.
- Event planning — Festival and sale inventory committed weeks ahead with buffers.
- Ageing reports — Slow movers flagged early for promotion before they become dead stock.
Fulfilment
Routing and warehousing that hit SLAs
Where an order ships from decides its cost, its speed and whether the promise gets kept. Smart routing across warehouses, FBA and 3PL partners balances all three — while batch and expiry control protects regulated categories.
- Smart order routing — Cheapest compliant location by proximity, cost and SLA.
- FBA and 3PL management — Inbound planning, reconciliation and storage-fee control.
- Multi-warehouse ops — Distributed stock enabling faster delivery promises.
- Batch and expiry — FIFO rotation and tracking for food, pharma and cosmetics.

FAQ
Questions clients ask us.
Overselling happens when each channel holds its own stock number and updates lag. We centralise inventory into one source of truth, push updates to every channel on a defined cadence or on event, and apply safety buffers so a channel never sells stock another channel has already committed.
A safety buffer is stock deliberately held back from a channel to absorb synchronisation delays and simultaneous orders. Without one, the last unit of a product can be sold twice in the seconds before stock updates propagate. The right buffer size depends on your order velocity and sync frequency.
Yes. We integrate with most ERPs, accounting platforms and WMS systems, and build custom connectors where a standard integration does not exist. Where a business has no system in place, we help select and implement one rather than building around spreadsheets.
Stockouts are prevented by forecasting demand per SKU and channel, accounting for supplier lead times, triggering reorder points automatically and planning marketplace inbound well ahead of sale events. We also monitor sell-through velocity so fast movers are identified before they run dry rather than after.
Yes. We plan what to send, create inbound shipments, coordinate with your warehouse or 3PL, reconcile received quantities against what was shipped, and monitor storage utilisation to limit long-term storage fees.
Ageing reports flag slow movers early so discounting, bundling or marketplace promotion can clear them before they become write-offs. For expirable goods we implement batch tracking and FIFO rotation so stock nearing expiry is sold first.
Yes. Orders are routed by proximity, cost and delivery SLA, inventory is tracked per location, and inter-warehouse transfers are managed. This is what allows a brand to promise faster delivery without holding all stock in one central location.
With proper integration, cycle counting and reconciliation, 99% accuracy is realistic. Most businesses operating on manual spreadsheets run considerably lower, which is why stockouts and overselling feel random when they are actually systematic.
