Step-by-step operational pipeline
Compare expected update cadences, feed payloads and stock snapshots to separate genuinely unchanged stock from failed SKU matching or stalled upstream feeds.

Inspect incoming feed snapshots
Deliverable: Feed Health TelemetryAnalyze each sync payload for stale timestamps, sudden SKU drop-offs, unmapped barcodes and abnormal stock swings.
03
Cross-check against Shopify inventory
Deliverable: SKU Drift & Orphan ReportCompare upstream warehouse quantities against live Shopify location balances to expose silent sync drift.
04
Trigger targeted ops escalation
Deliverable: Verified Ops Alert & Audit LogRoute actionable exceptions with exact SKU and warehouse context to your operations queue before customers are impacted.
