How Real-Time Sync Works

From receiving dock to checkout, every inventory movement and price change flows through one connected system.

1
Receive & Put Away
Scan receipts at the dock. Inventory updates immediately with lot, expiry, and location data.

2
Sync Everywhere
ATP updates propagate instantly to POS terminals, eCommerce, telesales, and mobile apps.

3
Sell & Deduct
Every sale — counter, online, or delivery — immediately reduces available inventory across all channels.

4
Replenish Automatically
When stock hits reorder points, the system generates POs and alerts — no manual monitoring required.

Real-Time vs. Batch Inventory Systems

Many legacy systems update inventory in overnight batches — creating a day-long gap between reality and what the system shows. Here’s how real-time changes the game:

Capability Real-Time (Ximple) Batch/Legacy ERP
Inventory Updates Instant — every transaction Overnight batch — 12-24 hour delay
ATP Accuracy 99%+ with live sync Degrades throughout the day
Oversell Prevention Automatic — real-time deduction Common — especially for fast movers
Price Changes Propagate in seconds Require manual sync or overnight job
Multi-Channel Sync POS, eCommerce, mobile — unified Each channel operates on stale data
Stock Alerts Immediate — trigger replenishment Discovered next day — after stockout
FEFO Compliance Enforced automatically at pick Discovered next day — after stockout

Built for Cash & Carry Inventory Challenges

Whether you’re managing perishables, high-velocity SKUs, or multi-location networks — Ximple adapts to your operation.

Inventory & Pricing — Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly do inventory updates propagate across the system?

Inventory updates in Ximple ERP are truly real-time — typically propagating across all channels (POS, eCommerce, mobile, and back-office) within one second. There are no batch jobs or scheduled syncs. When a product is received, sold, transferred, or adjusted, the change is immediately visible everywhere.

Can Ximple track inventory across multiple warehouses and trucks?

Yes. Ximple provides unified visibility across all inventory locations — main warehouses, branch depots, delivery trucks, store backrooms, and even customer consignment locations. You can view stock by location, transfer between locations, and see consolidated totals across your entire network.

How does FEFO (First Expiry, First Out) work?

When picking orders, Ximple automatically prioritizes inventory with the earliest expiration date. The system tracks lot/batch numbers with expiry dates and directs pickers to the oldest stock first. You can also set alerts for approaching expiry dates and automatically block sales of expired products.

Can I set different prices for different customers?

Absolutely. Ximple supports unlimited price lists that can be assigned to individual customers, customer groups, or tiers. You can also set up volume-based pricing, promotional pricing, and cost-plus rules. When a customer is identified at checkout, their specific pricing applies automatically.

How do price changes get applied to POS and eCommerce?

Price changes made in Ximple propagate instantly to all channels — POS terminals, B2B eCommerce portals, mobile apps, and telesales screens. There’s no manual sync required. You can also schedule price changes to take effect at a specific date and time.

Does Ximple support automated replenishment?

Yes. You can set reorder points, safety stock levels, and lead times for each product. When inventory falls below the reorder point, the system can automatically generate purchase orders or transfer requests. You’ll also receive alerts for low stock and critical stock levels.

Can I track manufacturer rebates and vendor allowances?

Yes. Ximple tracks manufacturer rebates, vendor allowances, promotional funds, and bill-backs at the product and transaction level. You can see true net cost after all adjustments and generate claims for rebate collection.

How does Ximple handle multi-unit-of-measure products?

Ximple supports unlimited units of measure per product — case, pack, inner, each, etc. — with proper conversion factors and costing at each level. You can purchase in cases, sell in packs or eaches, and the system maintains accurate inventory and pricing at every level.
