In one line

Real-time, cross-channel stock accuracy underpinning availability promises and fulfilment routing.

Fuller explanation

Inventory visibility is real-time stock accuracy across channels and locations — critical for both B2B (can I promise this order?) and unified commerce (ship-from-store, BOPIS). It's often the unglamorous root cause behind a client's omnichannel frustration, and a credible expansion entry point.
