StockSync
The Problem
Malaysian e-commerce sellers managing Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop simultaneously face the #1 operational nightmare: inventory sync. When a product sells on Shopee, stock isn't deducted on Lazada → overselling → customer complaints → platform penalties. Sellers manually update spreadsheets across platforms, spending 2-4 hours daily just on stock reconciliation. During campaign periods (11.11, 12.12), the problem explodes. 67% of multi-platform sellers report at least one overselling incident per month. Platform penalties range from listing suspension to permanent banning.

Real-time stock deduction across all platforms when any sale occurs. Auto-pause listings when stock hits zero.
