Does Importify automatically sync inventory between suppliers and my store?

No, Importify doesn’t sync inventory in real time. To manage your stock effectively, you’ll need to build a proactive workflow that compensates for this gap. Here’s a streamlined, actionable approach:

1. Diversify Your Suppliers

   • Why: Relying on one supplier can lead to stockouts.

   • How: Source popular items from multiple suppliers so that if one runs low, you can fulfill orders from another.

2. Leverage Third-Party Warehousing

   • Why: For high-volume or fast-moving products, manual updates can be risky.

   • How: Use a warehousing service that offers real-time inventory tracking, manages returns, and even brands your packaging. This gives you centralized control and reduces the chance of overselling.

3. Implement Virtual Assistant (VA) Support

   • Why: Manually tracking inventory across a large catalog is time-consuming and error-prone.

   • How: Hire or designate a VA to monitor supplier stock levels—focusing on best-sellers—and update your e-commerce platform as needed. This ensures you catch low-stock situations early and make timely adjustments.

Technical Considerations:

• Inventory updates must be performed manually or via additional integrations since Importify only handles product data import.

• Take advantage of your platform’s native inventory management tools or compatible apps to automate parts of the process where possible.
