A free, local Python safety tool that protects your marketplace seller ratings. It scans your product catalog or warehouse feeds, identifies zero-stock and negative-quantity variants, applies configurable safety buffers, and flags unfulfillable items so you can pause listings before marketplace cancellation penalties strike.
Store catalog export CSV or read-only store API credentials.
Local Python script audits every variant stock level, applies safety buffer thresholds, and flags depleted listings.

Setup scope covers installation on customer-controlled infrastructure, configuration of authorised integrations, functional testing and handover.
Hosting, third-party charges and ongoing support are excluded unless separately agreed. Free workflows must never run on Sanocea-hosted infrastructure.
Inventory synchronization lags between Shopify, Amazon, and warehouse management systems cause customers to purchase items that are already out of stock.
Cancelling orders due to out-of-stock inventory results in marketplace account penalties, negative reviews, and wasted customer acquisition costs.
Audits your product listings or warehouse stock export, checks every variant available quantity, and isolates items at zero or below safety buffer thresholds.
Your dispatch team catches depleted inventory before marketplaces accept unfulfillable orders, protecting seller metrics.
Shows how negative stock and borderline stockout items are caught before new orders land.
