Your POS system exports data that your inventory software imports and uses. But I strongly suspect that this is often not possible in practice.
This sounds like exactly the sort of problem that a business might pay for a solution to, particularly if there is one particular pair of POS system / inventory software that is widely used in the industry in question, where those pieces of software don’t natively play well together.
I was thinking that too actually. And at the time I was thinking that for cohesion-related reasons, it’s often the case that there just isn’t a market for narrow tools like inventory software and instead the market demands an all-in-one tool, in which case there wouldn’t be a demand for a tool that solves the problem of many formats of POS system data.
But now I’m not so sure. I’m feeling pretty agnostic. I’m not clear on how often the market demand is largely for all-in-one solutions vs how often there is a market demand for narrow solutions.
