# How Do I Connect Sales Data to Inventory Availability?

You connect sales to inventory by linking the CRM's product records to the same stock table used by operations, so a rep sees real availability while building a quote. On **Jestor**, this runs through relational **tables** shared between CRM and inventory.

A sales rep quoting a product without knowing current stock risks promising something that is not actually available, a mistake that only surfaces after the customer has already said yes.

## What disconnected sales and inventory data cost

- Reps promising products without knowing if stock is actually available
- Customer disappointment when a promised item turns out to be out of stock
- No visibility for sales into inventory levels without asking operations directly
- Delayed fulfillment when availability issues surface only after the sale

## How connecting sales to inventory works

- Product records live in a shared **table** referenced by both CRM and inventory
- Stock levels update as inventory moves, visible directly during quoting
- A rep building a quote sees real-time availability for each product
- Automations can flag low-stock items before a rep commits to a promise

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- The shared table gives sales real-time visibility into actual stock
- This prevents the disappointment of promising unavailable products
- Operations stays free from constant availability questions from sales
- This scales from a single product line to a large, varied catalog

| Disconnected sales and stock     | Connected inventory data              |

| Rep quotes blind to availability | Real-time stock visible while quoting |
