Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for determining inventory levels of a multi-channel seller. Order rates can be retrieved from various marketplaces in which a seller participates. An inventory depletion rate can also be determined. A period of uncertain inventory availability can be determined based at least upon an update interval with which order updates are retrieved. Inventory can be reported as unavailable based at least upon an initial quantity of the product, the inventory depletion rate, and whether the period of uncertain inventory availability is entered.
