  1. 01

    Configure

    Define the target quantity for the offer.

  2. 02

    Send

    Submit the update to the supported channel.

  3. 03

    Check

    Follow processing and investigate discrepancies.

The right quantity is only the start

You also need to know what the channel did with it.

A quantity changed in your system. An update was submitted. A discrepancy can appear between those events, or after submission. CIAMA helps you distinguish target inventory, the update attempt and its processing outcome.

Three steps. A record you can act on.

01

Define what should be sent.

Link the offer to its product and configure the inventory sources to use. The target quantity follows that configuration, so your team knows which availability it intends to publish.

  • Configuration for each eligible offer
  • Selection of stock records linked to the product
  • Visibility into the calculated target quantity
02

Choose how to trigger the update.

Request a manual update with an explicit quantity or enable automatic mode on supported offers. Writes depend on permissions, the connection and activation in your environment.

  • Manual updates processed in the background
  • Automatic mode enabled per offer
  • Explicit connection scope
03

Find the outcome, not just the request.

Review attempts and their progress. Distinguish an update still being processed from a confirmed or blocked operation, then investigate offers that need intervention.

  • Stock update attempt history
  • Processing and discrepancy tracking
  • Block reasons to guide investigation

When an update does not go as planned

Keep exceptions visible as volume grows.

Available checks and statuses vary by connector. They do not guarantee instant synchronization or the absence of overselling.

Three situations to distinguish after requesting an update.
A requested stock update
Still processing
An update can be accepted before its outcome is confirmed. The time involved also depends on marketplace processing.
Discrepancy to review
Expected availability may differ from the information returned by the channel. Tracking helps identify the affected offers.
Action needed
A missing offer, an unlinked product or an unauthorized connection can prevent the operation. Context helps your team decide what to do next.

This diagram explains how to read the follow-up. Exact statuses and checks depend on the connector.

Shared inventory. Connected responsibilities.

Marketplace teams

Follow listing availability and updates that need attention.

Logistics

Check the inventory sources selected and stock availability by warehouse.

Purchasing

Relate availability needs to sales and replenishment decisions.

Agree the scope before enabling writes

A connection is not a blanket permission.

Stock Dispatcher is part of your licensed CIAMA cockpit, deployed on-premise. Together, we define the accounts, eligible offers, inventory sources and outbound operations to enable.

Questions about marketplace inventory sync

Does synchronization happen in real time?

Frequency and effective delay depend on collection schedules, processing and each marketplace API. CIAMA lets you track operations; it does not promise universal real-time updates.

Can all my marketplaces receive inventory updates?

Not automatically. Inventory writes are limited to supported connections and eligible offers. Scope is verified before activation, including the relevant fulfillment mode.

Can I send a quantity manually?

For an eligible offer with writes enabled, you can request a manual update with a positive quantity or zero. The request is processed in the background, with progress available in the history.

Does this cover Amazon FBA replenishment?

No. Publishing available inventory on an offer and planning physical replenishment are different operations. The FBA scope needs to be assessed separately.

Does CIAMA guarantee zero overselling?

No. Reliability also depends on source data, concurrent sales and platform delays. Tracking updates and discrepancies helps teams address risk without removing those constraints.
