Spotlight on Online Ordering and Inventory Accuracy

Here's a great article from EcommerceBytes about Stitch Labs. A challenge that the seller has is ensuring that a customer is able to have reliable access to what can be fulfilled online. This is a common problem among e-commerce websites and those in the catalog business. Connecting online websites and back end operations can be challenging.
