Retail marketers are under constant pressure to deliver personalized, timely campaigns across numerous channels while juggling ever-changing inventory, promotional calendars, and evolving customer expectations. But when marketing efforts aren’t aligned with what’s actually in stock, the results can be frustrating for everyone. Out-of-stock promotions, mismatched messaging, and delayed campaign launches erode customer trust and result in lost revenue for retailers.

The solution? Bridging the gap between inventory and marketing through integrated data and systems.

Forward-thinking retailers are investing in centralized platforms that combine Product Information Management (PIM), inventory data, and campaign production tools to power a more connected, responsive, and efficient marketing operation. With tools like Comosoft LAGO, syncing marketing with live inventory is no longer a luxury—it’s a competitive necessity.

Discover how connecting your inventory and marketing workflows can transform the retail experience by delighting customers, driving more sales, and removing roadblocks at every step.

Eliminate Out-of-Stock Frustrations with PIM-Inventory Sync

One of the most frequent (and costly) marketing missteps in retail is promoting products that aren’t available. Whether it’s an email highlighting an out-of-stock item or a digital ad that leads to a dead end, these moments can instantly erode consumer trust and loyalty.

That’s where a robust Product Information Management (PIM) system, like the one with LAGO, plays a critical role. When your PIM syncs with your inventory system, marketing teams can work from the most accurate, real-time product data. This alignment ensures that only in-stock, sellable items are included in your campaigns, reducing the likelihood of disappointing customers.

A 2025 trend report by BigCommerce notes that PIM and ERP integration is now essential for B2B and B2C retailers looking to centralize product content and connect inventory data across all customer-facing touchpoints. With that integration in place, retailers can also tailor their promotional efforts based on inventory levels, prioritizing slow-moving products or those with regional availability with precision.

For example, a national home goods retailer utilized its PIM system in conjunction with real-time inventory feeds to localize digital flyer content based on store-specific stock levels. Instead of blanket coverage across the country with one-size-fits-all promotions, each market received messaging tailored to what was available, which improved conversion rates and minimized customer frustration.

Automate Campaign Updates When Inventory Changes

Retail inventory is fluid—products sell out, SKUs change, and new collections launch. For marketing teams still relying on spreadsheets, PDFs, or manual campaign updates, this fluidity can quickly become chaos.

With a connected platform like Comosoft LAGO, changes in inventory data can automatically trigger updates across marketing channels. As inventory changes, so can the content without requiring a manual review of assets, edits, and the routing of updated versions.

This type of automation yields real-world benefits. In its 2025 inventory management trend report, Management One notes that more retailers are utilizing AI and automation to synchronize marketing timelines with inventory availability, especially as supply chain fluctuations continue to pose a challenge. When marketing platforms are tied to real-time stock data, teams can confidently launch (or pause) promotions with accuracy and speed.

One grocery retailer using Comosoft’s integrated DAM and PIM solution automated the creation of promotional signage, app content, and digital displays based on inventory fluctuations. This dynamic system not only eliminated hours of manual updates but also allowed the brand to be more responsive to seasonal and regional inventory trends, capturing more sales without increasing workload.

Deliver Personalized, Inventory-Aware Campaigns at Scale

Modern marketing is all about personalization. But personalization without inventory context is risky. What good is recommending a product to a customer if it’s no longer available?

Retailers that integrate inventory with their campaign tools can personalize at scale, safely. For instance, by combining customer behavior data with inventory availability, marketers can dynamically populate emails or product recommendation carousels with in-stock items that fit the customer’s preferences.

According to Number Analytics, retailers that integrate big data systems, including inventory, behavioral, and marketing platforms, are seeing measurable improvements in campaign performance. With predictive analytics, they can shift promotional focus toward underperforming or overstocked SKUs, turning inventory visibility into a revenue-driving capability.

Real-World Results from Retailers Bridging the Gap

Many retailers have already seen dramatic results by aligning their inventory and marketing operations:

• BigCommerce reports that businesses using PIM-ERP integrations have significantly reduced cart abandonment caused by out-of-stock errors and experienced higher email conversion rates due to improved product availability in campaigns.
• EY’s 2024 omnichannel retail report highlights the importance of integrating inventory data with marketing and customer-facing systems across digital and physical channels. The report notes that retailers who achieve this level of coordination see improvements in campaign responsiveness and fewer customer service issues tied to stock availability.
• Imaginaire discusses the importance of real-time inventory visibility for bridging the in-store and online retail experience. By ensuring customers only see accurate stock levels online, retailers can prevent order cancellations and build greater trust.
