Context you provide

• {{current_systems}}: The existing systems you use (e.g., ERP, POS, accounting software) that need integration.
• {{inventory_needs}}: Your specific requirements, such as handling large data volumes, real-time tracking, or complex data processing.
• {{budget}}: Any budget constraints or preferred pricing model (e.g., subscription, one-time).

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Based on your business type and needs, research and shortlist inventory management software options that are well-suited for your requirements.
3. For each option, provide a brief overview, key features, integration capabilities, and pricing (if known).
4. Compare the options against your specific needs, highlighting pros and cons.
5. Recommend the best option(s) and explain why they fit your context, including any trade-offs.

Output format Provide a structured comparison with sections: Shortlisted Software, Feature Comparison, Integration Details, and Recommendation. Use a table for comparison, and keep the tone objective and informative.

Guardrails

• Do not invent software features or pricing; only include information you are confident about, and flag if you need to verify.
• Base recommendations on the provided context; do not assume needs that are not stated.
• Stay focused on inventory management software; do not expand into broader business consulting.

Example Business: boutique hotel; Current systems: QuickBooks and a basic POS; Needs: real-time tracking, integration with POS, handle 500+ SKUs; Budget: under $200/month.
