Stop Overselling.
Your Shopify store says "In Stock," but your vendor is empty. You just sold a promise you can't keep. Runink syncs your inventory across all heavy vendors in real-time, so you never have to apologize to a customer again.
The "Blind Vendor" Problem
Most dropshippers rely on CSV uploads or daily syncs. In the 24 hours between syncs, your vendor sells out. You act as the "middleman of failure," taking orders you can't fulfill.
- ✕ Overselling popular items
- ✕ routing to expensive vendors
- ✕ Manual email coordination
How Runink Fixes It
C4Context
title System Context: Drop Shipping Command Center
Person(customer, "Shopify Shopper", "Ordering items online.")
Enterprise_Boundary(b0, "Runink Operations") {
System(agent, "Runink Inventory Agent", "Orchestrates orders and syncs stock.")
System_Ext(shopify, "Shopify Store", "Sales Channel")
System_Boundary(b1, "Vendor Network") {
System_Ext(vendorA, "Vendor A (Legacy)", "Old WMS, CSV only.")
System_Ext(vendorB, "Vendor B (Modern)", "Real-time API.")
}
}
Rel(customer, shopify, "Places Order")
Rel(shopify, agent, "Sends Order Webhook")
Rel(agent, vendorA, "Checks Stock (0)", "Parses Email/CSV")
Rel(agent, vendorB, "Checks Stock (50)", "API Call")
Rel(agent, vendorB, "Routes Order", "API Call")
Rel(agent, shopify, "Updates Fulfillment Status")
The agent dynamically routes to the vendor with stock, saving the sale.
