How a multi-channel inventory agent works.
Vendlore runs two loops in parallel — an always-on restock loop that reconciles inventory and supplier signals every minute, and a weekly per-channel profit loop that lands in your inbox every Monday with contribution margin for every storefront and ad channel. Purchase orders can flow in auto-fire mode straight to the supplier, or land in a human-approved approval queue on Slack or email first.
One continuous cycle. Three signals. One weekly report.
Inventory, supplier, and ad-spend signals feed the same four-step cycle. Each rotation closes a feedback loop so the next decision is sharper than the last — and the Monday report inherits every adjustment the loop made during the week.

Continuous inventory reconciliation across warehouses.
Every connected storefront and warehouse reports its stock state on a continuous tick — not a nightly export, not a nightly batch. Vendlore pulls per-SKU velocity, on-hand across every location, units in transit, and units committed-but-unreceived, and folds all four into a single SKU-level picture.
When a Shopify listing drifts out of sync with the warehouse because of a mis-pick, an unacknowledged return, or a delayed store transfer, the reconcile repairs it within minutes — so reorder math is always running against the actual on-hand, not a stale snapshot from last night.
You don't feed it a CSV. You connect the channels, Vendlore reconciles the rest — across every warehouse, every storefront, every fulfilment partner you wire up.
- Per-SKU velocity across every channel
- On-hand stock across every warehouse
- In-transit units (carrier-tracked)
- Committed-but-unreceived (open POs)
- Continuous reconcile · not nightly
Supplier lead-time monitoring with per-SKU thresholds.
- Per-supplier ETA profile (refreshed continuously)
- Live ASN arrivals + carrier updates
- Historical-variance adjustment
- Per-SKU configurable threshold (days-of-cover)
- Slips absorb via early re-trigger
Each supplier carries its own per-SKU ETA profile, refreshed against live signals — ASN arrivals, carrier updates, and historical variance — rather than the figure printed on the supplier sheet six months ago. When an ASN slips, the profile follows it without you having to log in and fix anything.
Reorder math runs against the actual lead time, not the optimistic one. The trigger is a per-SKU threshold — typically expressed in days-of-cover — that you configure per workspace. A SKU with volatile demand gets a higher cover threshold; a slow-mover gets a lower one.
When a supplier slip is detected, Vendlore absorbs it by re-triggering earlier against the new ETA — so the shelf still holds continuous cover, the only thing that moves is the moment the PO fires.
Weekly per-channel contribution-margin reporting.
Every Monday Vendlore delivers a per-channel profit report — contribution margin reduced from revenue by COGS, shipping, fees, fulfillment, and attributed ad spend. Two PO execution modes sit in front of it: auto-fire for high-velocity SKUs with stable suppliers, and approval mode for new suppliers, big-ticket POs, and anything you want a human to sign off on first.
When the per-SKU threshold crosses and the supplier ETA profile is healthy, the PO is generated, signed off by the workspace rules, and routed to the supplier through email, Slack, EDI/PIM, or a custom webhook — without waiting on a human.
- Best for high-velocity SKUs + stable suppliers
- Routes through pre-approved supplier channel
- Outbound retry + delivery confirmation
- Manual override tier available on Scale plan
In approval mode the same trigger fires, but instead of going straight to the supplier the PO lands in an approval queue delivered on Slack or email. A human reviews the SKU, the qty, the supplier, the supplier's live ETA, and the estimated margin impact before approving.
- Best for new suppliers + big-ticket POs
- Slack + email deliver the queue
- Approve / reject / edit-qty inline
- Audit trail on every decision
Vendlore reduces each channel's revenue by the COGS, shipping, platform fees, fulfillment, and attributed ad spend that drove it — and ships the result on Monday morning, ranked by contribution margin delta vs the prior week. The loop's job during the week is to keep replenishment running on the right SKUs and channels; the report's job on Monday is to show you whether the reroute actually paid off.
