Why Real-Time Inventory Matters

If you’re quoting a product that’s already out of stock, you risk wasting time and losing the sale. Distributors need accurate, real-time supplier inventory data to ensure product availability, provide better customer service, and avoid costly backorders.

PromoStandards inventory integration helps solve this problem by creating a direct connection between your system and your suppliers’ inventory APIs. With automated inventory updates flowing in real time, you no longer have to rely on spreadsheets or email confirmations to know what’s available.

How PromoStandards Delivers Inventory Updates

Using the standardized Inventory Availability endpoint, PromoStandards gives your system access to live data from participating suppliers. This integration can be built into your WooCommerce store, custom PHP platform, or internal tools.

With PromoStandards inventory integration, your system can check product stock levels automatically—either during quote generation or before placing an order. These real-time product availability checks help reduce the risk of overselling and improve confidence across your sales workflow.

Getting Started with Inventory API Integration

Automating access to real-time supplier inventory takes some planning and technical setup, but the long-term benefits are significant: fewer order delays, faster quoting, and more accurate product listings for your customers.

If you’re a distributor using WooCommerce or a custom PHP/MySQL solution, a PromoStandards developer can implement the inventory API connection for you—ensuring smooth, reliable integration with supplier data feeds.
