Visibility means what you can promise
For many wholesale teams, inventory visibility is a simple question: before a quote or an order goes out, can someone see whether the lines are real to promise, without a scavenger hunt.
That is ops truth for sales and buyers. It is not the same job as rebuilding how the floor moves product.

Not a warehouse system in month one
Month one is not a second set of books and not a full warehouse rebuild. A custom wedge can start with the promise view that quoting and inside sales need: what is available to commit, what is already spoken for, and what needs a human check.
Defer deeper warehouse tooling until the promise path stops stalling quotes and portal orders.
How it ties to quoting and a buyer portal later
Once the promise view is trustworthy, quoting can stop guessing. A buyer portal can show status that matches what you are willing to commit. Each piece ships when the prior wedge is earning its keep. New pieces ship every Friday on Parcel Build. Flat $5,000/mo. You own the code.
