Live stock levels seems to work here at JEspares, can't fault it. If it didn't work then it'd make my life hardwork explaining to customers who thought we had stock, which is also bad news for customer satisfaction. No information is better than bad/wrong information ofcause though.

The thing is, banks are putting pressure on companies to reduce working capital (stock) due to the state of the economy, and therefore the wholesaler (Schumacher) try to forecast more tightly which results in reduced stock - and no availability more often. The shops are also under pressure to stock less, but the wholesaler wants/needs the shops to stock more of everything for the system to work. Vicous circle, getting it right is very hard to do.
