How it works
Monitor NetSuite inventory commitments
ConvertMate's growth team configures monitoring of your NetSuite inventory commitments including pending wholesale orders, B2B customer allocations, work order reservations, and any custom commitment types specific to your business. This step captures all inventory that appears available in your ERP but is already spoken for by non-retail channels. The system tracks commitment changes in real-time as wholesale orders are placed, manufacturing work orders are created, or B2B customers reserve inventory for future delivery.
Calculate true retail availability
ConvertMate processes your total NetSuite on-hand quantities minus all tracked commitments to determine actual available-to-sell inventory for your retail channel. This calculation respects your business rules around safety stock, warehouse location priorities, and any minimum retail inventory thresholds you've defined. The growth team configures logic that accounts for your specific commitment hierarchy so wholesale contracts and B2B agreements always take precedence over retail availability.
Update Shopify product availability
ConvertMate syncs the calculated retail availability directly to your Shopify product inventory quantities, ensuring your online store never displays stock that's already committed to wholesale or B2B customers. The integration updates product status, adjusts variant availability, and manages collection visibility based on whether items have retail stock remaining after ERP commitments. This prevents the customer service nightmare of accepting retail orders you can't fulfill because inventory was already allocated to wholesale channels.
Manage back-in-stock notifications
When NetSuite commitments are fulfilled and inventory becomes available for retail again, ConvertMate automatically updates Shopify quantities and triggers any back-in-stock notification flows you've configured. This ensures customers waiting for popular items get notified immediately when wholesale orders ship and free up inventory for retail purchase. The growth team configures notification timing and quantity thresholds to match your inventory management strategy.
Use cases
Multi-channel retailer preventing wholesale overselling
ConvertMate's growth team implemented this workflow for a home goods brand selling through both Shopify retail and NetSuite-managed wholesale channels. The integration prevented the recurring problem where large wholesale orders consumed inventory that still showed as available on their consumer website, leading to canceled retail orders and frustrated customers. By connecting NetSuite committed inventory to Shopify availability, the brand eliminated overselling incidents by 94% and reduced customer service inquiries about out-of-stock items that appeared purchasable online.
B2B manufacturer with retail outlet
A industrial equipment manufacturer running both B2B sales through NetSuite and a retail outlet on Shopify needed visibility into how their large contract commitments affected retail stock availability. ConvertMate's team built a workflow that tracked NetSuite work order reservations and B2B customer allocations, then reduced Shopify inventory quantities to reflect only uncommitted stock available for retail purchase. This prevented the expensive problem of accepting retail orders for items already reserved for manufacturing or contractually committed to enterprise customers.
Wholesale-first brand launching direct-to-consumer
A fashion accessories brand transitioning from wholesale-only to omnichannel needed to protect their existing wholesale commitments while opening a Shopify retail store. ConvertMate's growth team configured NetSuite commitment tracking that prioritized wholesale orders and B2B allocations, ensuring retail availability only reflected inventory not already promised to wholesale accounts. This workflow allowed the brand to launch their DTC channel without risking their core wholesale relationships by accidentally overselling inventory committed to retail partners.
Seasonal retailer managing pre-order commitments
A holiday decor retailer taking both wholesale pre-orders in NetSuite and retail pre-orders on Shopify needed to prevent total commitments from exceeding their manufacturing capacity. ConvertMate's team implemented a workflow that tracked NetSuite wholesale pre-order commitments and reduced Shopify retail pre-order availability accordingly. This gave the operations team confidence they could fulfill all commitments across both channels without overcommitting their limited production runs or disappointing customers with delayed shipments.
