Daily exports and reconciliation
Maël exported data from each platform and the Odoo ERP, reconciled the files and submitted inventory updates manually. This repetitive task had to be carried out across marketplace accounts.

CIAMA
English
Marketplace inventory synchronization
Connect your offers to inventory in your warehouses and with logistics providers. CIAMA recalculates availability and sends updates to supported marketplaces, with automatic dispatch you control for each offer.

Define the target quantity for the offer.
Submit the update to the supported channel.
Follow processing and investigate discrepancies.
Marketplace channels for inventory distribution projects; write operations depend on the connector. Connections depend on scope or require an integration assessment. No official partnership is claimed.
View connections and availabilityFewer corrections, more continuity
A listing still showing availability after a stockout can attract orders you cannot fulfill. A listing left at zero after restocking can miss sales. Automate availability updates to reduce these gaps and manual work, while tracking the outcome of each submission.
Pilot customer story · 1UP Distribution
At 1UP Distribution, led by Cyril Benoît, Maël handles day-to-day marketplace operations. The integration between Odoo and CIAMA has automated inventory updates across the connected marketplaces.
Odoo → CIAMA → Connected marketplaces
Maël exported data from each platform and the Odoo ERP, reconciled the files and submitted inventory updates manually. This repetitive task had to be carried out across marketplace accounts.
The integration sends Odoo inventory to CIAMA. CIAMA then distributes stock updates automatically to connected marketplaces, according to the configured offers and sources.
Maël can focus on managing the catalog and creating new offers to expand 1UP Distribution’s marketplace presence.
Pilot story based on experience reported to the CIAMA team. Scope depends on the deployed connections; no quantified time savings are claimed.
Multiple warehouses · Multiple 3PLs · Shared PIM
Inventory centralized in CIAMA is linked to PIM products. Choose the sources that feed each offer: a physical warehouse, inventory from a connected logistics provider or several eligible sources.
Your system supplies stock changes. The warehouses supported through the API are agreed during integration.
Available 3PL connectors collect inventory, for example Amazon FBA. Its use for an offer depends on fulfillment capabilities and connector support.
CIAMA adds the quantities from sources configured for that offer. The PIM maintains the shared link between the product, its inventory and its offers.
Selecting a source does not physically reserve units for a channel or trigger a shipment. FBA-managed offers follow a separate flow from merchant stock updates.
Illustrative example · One product, two warehouses
Reported inventory: warehouse A, 8 units · warehouse B, 12 units
Warehouse A only
8 unitsTarget quantity to sendWarehouses A + B
20 unitsTarget quantity to sendThese offers share warehouse A inventory: quantities are not exclusive reservations and must not be added together to count physical stock. Calculation example, excluding transmission delays.
Your ERP or inventory system supplies changes to physical stock within the integrated API scope. Available 3PL connectors collect provider inventory. CIAMA then recalculates quantities per offer and sends them to supported channels when automatic mode is enabled. Reliable updates start with current source data.
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.
When source inventory changes, CIAMA recalculates the target quantity and triggers an update if automatic mode is enabled and an update is needed. You can also request a manual update for a supported offer.
Review attempts and their progress. Distinguish an update still being processed from a confirmed or blocked operation, then investigate offers that need intervention.
From stockout to restored availability
The calculated quantity is sent to eligible offers with automatic mode enabled.
CIAMA sends zero to reflect unavailability. The offer is not deleted.
The quantity is recalculated and can be sent again to restore availability, without re-entering stock on each offer.
Processing depends on channel timing and rules. A new stock submission does not remove a suspension or a platform sales restriction.
Stay in control
Enable or disable automatic dispatch for each offer. If another tool already manages its inventory, leave this mode disabled in CIAMA and agree which system owns stock updates. This avoids two automation tools writing to the same offer.
When an update does not go as planned
Available checks and statuses vary by connector. They do not guarantee instant synchronization or the absence of overselling.
A requested stock updateThis diagram explains how to read the follow-up. Exact statuses and checks depend on the connector.
Amazon, Fnac Darty and Cdiscount: CIAMA includes stock update connectors. Activation depends on your account, API permissions and eligible offers.
The Mirakl connector, used for Cultura among others, handles stock updates on supported connections. Each operator and seller account is assessed individually.
ManoMano, Wizaplace and Origami Marketplace provide APIs. We assess access, required operations and CIAMA connector development with you. Availability is not automatic.
Agree the scope before enabling writes
CIAMA is licensed software with dedicated hosting managed by Dawap or deployment on your servers. Before activation, we check connectors, eligible offers and usable inventory sources. Our offering also covers inventory updates to ecommerce platforms with the required APIs, with distribution rules defined for each platform.
Yes. You can select several inventory sources linked to the product. CIAMA calculates the target quantity from the configured sources. Only use 3PL stock when the fulfillment setup can serve the relevant orders.
Yes. Disable automatic CIAMA dispatch for offers managed by that tool. Agree which system handles updates to avoid competing writes.
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.
Not automatically. Inventory writes are limited to supported connections and eligible offers. Scope is verified before activation, including the relevant fulfillment mode.
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.
No. Publishing available inventory on an offer and planning physical replenishment are different operations. The FBA scope needs to be assessed separately.
No. Reliability also depends on source data, concurrent sales and platform delays. Tracking updates and discrepancies helps teams address risk without removing those constraints.
Start with your ERP, logistics providers and seller accounts. Your demo will help identify which sources to use, which offers to automate and which connectors you need.
