Abstract
In some examples, a service provider may coordinate the placement of inventory orders for multiple merchants. The service provider may determine that multiple merchants utilize a same supplier for an item. The service provider may additionally, or alternatively, estimate that inventories of the item for the merchants will reach a threshold lower limit within a particular amount of time of each other. The service provider may designate different times for the merchants to order additional inventory of the item from the supplier.
