Overview

This skill provides professional e-commerce inventory management for sellers across Taobao, Douyin, and other platforms. It centralizes stock tracking, multi-store syncing, supplier management, and automated reordering to reduce stockouts and oversupply. It also includes simple sales forecasting and reporting to inform purchase decisions.

How this skill works

The skill inspects inventory levels across connected stores, compares SKUs, and applies configurable conflict-resolution rules (source wins, target wins, max, min). It runs scheduled checks to trigger low-stock alerts, generate purchase orders, and sync changes between stores. Forecasting uses historical sales data with selectable methods (moving average, weighted average, trend, seasonal) to suggest reorder quantities.

When to use it

• You manage multiple stores and need a single source of truth for stock.
• You want automated low-stock alerts and purchase order generation.
• You need to sync SKUs and quantities between Taobao, Douyin, and other marketplaces.
• You require simple sales forecasting to plan procurement and avoid stockouts.
• You want routine reports (daily/weekly/monthly) on inventory and supplier performance.

Best practices

• Sync frequently—at least hourly during peak hours to keep quantities accurate.
• Set buffer or safety stock per SKU instead of waiting until zero.
• Maintain accurate SKU mapping between platforms to avoid mismatches.
• Record supplier lead times and minimum order quantities to automate realistic PO generation.
• Perform regular physical audits and reconcile discrepancies with system counts.

Example use cases

• Run a nightly job to aggregate stock levels from Taobao and Douyin and email a daily stock report to the operations team.
• Automatically generate a purchase order when a SKU hits the critical threshold and send it to the preferred supplier.
• Two-way sync inventory between stores with conflict resolution set to 'max' to protect sales capacity.
• Forecast next month’s demand for top sellers using weighted average and produce reorder recommendations.
• Pause listings automatically for SKUs flagged as out-of-stock and notify channel managers.
