One live stock picture. Every channel. Every location.
Track stock across variants, warehouses, and channels in real time — and keep inventory connected to the orders, warehouses, and reporting that depend on it.
Built for multi-channel apparel brands managing wholesale, DTC, marketplaces, warehouses, 3PLs, and growing operational complexity.
30 × 3 × 7 = 630
30 SKUs per style (5 colors × 6 sizes). 3 warehouses or 3PL locations. 7 channels reading and decrementing the same pool.
Multiply by 100 styles and the math is unsustainable in spreadsheets. It's also where oversells start.
Your marketplace sync runs at midnight. Your B2B portal shows 14 units available. Your WMS, in London, knows there are actually 6. The Shopify order took the last 4. The wholesale confirm went out on 14.
By morning, three things are true at once. Customer service is reaching out to the buyer to walk back the wholesale commitment. Your DTC team is asking why the marketplace listing didn't pause when the threshold hit. Finance is flagging that the chargeback policy with the wholesale partner just kicked in for the third time this quarter.
The team agrees, again, that “we need to fix the inventory sync.” The next time it breaks is two weeks out, and you all know it.
This is the apparel inventory problem in miniature. Not a lack of tools. A lack of one live picture across them.
A single apparel style with five colors and six sizes is thirty SKUs. Put ten thousand units across two warehouses and a 3PL, and you're tracking tens of thousands of positions. Sell across Shopify, Amazon, a wholesale portal, and a marketplace feed, and every one of those positions is being read and decremented by a different system, at a different cadence, with different latency.
This is why apparel inventory breaks down faster than any other operational layer. The math is too big for spreadsheets and too fragmented for most generic inventory tools.
Uphance tracks inventory at variant level, across every warehouse, 3PL, and sales channel, in real time. One live picture. No more 24-hour delays, no more conflicting reports.
Track stock across your warehouses, retail stores, and 3PLs — one view, live.
Colors, sizes, styles — native model, not a flat SKU table with workarounds.
Reserve stock per channel. Wholesale doesn't compete with DTC during launch.
See what's ordered, what's expected, and what's actually on hand.
Know what every product actually costs, landed. Pricing, reporting, and decisions reflect real numbers.
Adjust, cycle-count, and reconcile at scale — not SKU by SKU.
A widget has one SKU. A style has thirty. A widget lives in one bin. A style ships out of three warehouses, a 3PL in London, and a pop-up in Tokyo. A widget sells on one channel. A style sells on Shopify, Amazon, Zalando, the B2B portal, and a reseller's feed — often all in the same hour.
Most inventory tools were built for widgets, then retrofitted for apparel. Uphance was built apparel-first. Variants, size matrices, prepacks, and multi-channel allocation are first-class, not workarounds.
