How to Build: Real-time Inventory Management Microservice

Retailers are beginning to build real-time inventory management microservices because customer spending behaviors and expectations have fundamentally changed due to the pandemic.

Your customers today expect to interact with your business through multiple channels: your e-commerce app, website, or in-store. They also expect to choose from a variety of fulfillment options including BOPIS, BOPAC, BOPIL, BORIS, or getting it shipped from the local store. This means that each store must know what products are available in real time, at all times.
