What is Trunk?
Trunk is an intelligent inventory management platform designed specifically for multi-channel e-commerce businesses. The software automatically synchronizes stock levels across all connected sales channels in real-time, ensuring accurate inventory tracking regardless of where sales occur. By centralizing inventory management, Trunk eliminates the manual work of updating stock counts on individual platforms and prevents overselling scenarios that can damage customer relationships.

Trunk builds its own centralized inventory from existing listings, automatically linking items that share the same SKU across different channels. The system continuously monitors all connected platforms for changes, providing businesses with a single source of truth for their inventory that updates automatically as sales happen, orders are fulfilled, or stock is manually adjusted.
