Who gets the last order: The inventory decision dilemma

Two retailers, two completely different inventory problems, same question underneath. One pool of inventory, more claims on it than it can serve. A customer in the store, an order online, a subscription due to ship, an allocation already promised. Somebody gets an apology, and the canceled order costs more than the sale did. Two retailers with very different products join Infios on what it takes to decide where inventory should sit and be allocated before the order shows up.
