In-house inventory · Outsourced logistics

Your stock is distributed.
Keep a shared view.

Your warehouse handles some sales, a third-party logistics provider fulfils others, and Amazon FBA holds separate inventory. CIAMA brings accessible information together so your teams can locate products and follow connected operations.

Licensed software · Dedicated hosting managed by Dawap or on-premise

Amazon FBA, logistics software and fulfillment providers: accessible inventory, warehouses and operations depend on API access. Connections depend on scope or require an integration assessment. No official partnership is claimed.

View connections and availability

One business, several stock locations

Keep each warehouse’s role. Bring its information into view.

Physical stock, sellable quantity and a dispatched parcel describe different things. Connecting them starts with the product identifiers and statuses supplied by each source.

In-house warehouse

Your team and your WMS

Your system retains responsibility for preparation and physical movements. CIAMA uses the information made available through the agreed exchanges.

3PL provider

Outsourced fulfilment

The provider runs its operations. Accessible quantities and events depend on its API, the permissions granted and the connection implemented.

Amazon FBA

Inventory held by Amazon

Stock collected by the FBA connector is read in its own context. This does not mean that orders from every channel can already be sent to Amazon.

CIAMA: match product references and collected information

A shared view of connected sources, with their scope and limitations. Physical fulfilment remains with the relevant tools and operators.

Responsibility diagram: connections represent information to bring together, not guaranteed two-way flows.

From quantity to tracking

Three questions to answer before taking action.

A shared view is useful when you know which decisions each piece of data supports. Explore the detail in the relevant modules.

  1. Where is this product held?

    Read collected inventory by warehouse and identify its source. Check what each quantity means and how often it is refreshed before using it.

    Explore multi-warehouse visibility

    Define: product identifiers, warehouses, quantity type and collection frequency.

  2. Which stock can support this offer?

    Choose the sources relevant to the channel. Marketplace stock updates depend on the connector and its activation; a visible quantity does not reserve units.

    Understand stock synchronisation

    Define: selected sources, calculation rules and destination channels.

  3. What do we know about this shipment?

    Bring accessible shipping details and available tracking information together. Identify the carrier, logistics provider and order to interpret each status.

    Explore shipment tracking

    Define: tracking source, available events and refresh frequency.

Define the right automation scope

Every exchange has a direction.

Reading a provider’s stock and sending it an order are separate flows. We check each one before including it in your project.

Available foundation

Read collected inventory

Reading supported warehouses and inventory forms the foundation. Coverage depends on the sources actually connected.

Connector-dependent

Update a sales channel

Marketplace stock updates require a compatible connector and activation. Our offering also covers inventory distribution to ecommerce stores, according to their APIs and your availability rules.

In development

Write stock by external warehouse through the API

The API currently supports writing stock for the default warehouse. Writing stock by external warehouse is in development, with scope to be defined for your providers.

Prepare a useful demonstration

Start with one product and its actual journey.

A representative example helps check identifiers and define an initial scope without assuming that all your systems work in the same way.

  1. Identify the operators

    Your warehouses, WMS, 3PLs, FBA accounts and carriers, along with the teams responsible for each stage.

  2. Check the information

    A product reference, its identifiers, exposed quantities and a tracking example, without unnecessary personal data.

  3. Select the first exchanges

    Prioritise visibility and useful flows. Document what is available, configurable or requires development, then choose the deployment.

Questions about warehouses and 3PLs

Can we combine our own warehouse with a logistics provider?

Yes. The project can bring these sources together according to accessible data and agreed connections. Each warehouse retains its identity; preparation and update responsibilities are defined during scoping.

Is a provider automatically connected if it has an API?

No. An API makes an integration worth assessing. We check access, available data and the development needed to put the exchanges in place.

Does CIAMA replace our WMS?

No. Your WMS retains receiving, put-away, picking and packing. CIAMA brings information together to track inventory and connected operations.

Are orders automatically assigned to the best warehouse?

Automatic allocation is outside the scope described here. Your warehouse selection rules and order transfers need to be assessed as a specific integration.

Do carrier logos mean that all their services are available?

No. They illustrate the ecosystem under consideration or within the team’s expertise. Tracking, label purchases, returns and other services are separate flows, assessed individually for your project.
