Inventory management: keeping virtual inventory in-sync with the warehouse

A very large retailer in France uses Atomikos to process orders and keep the virtual inventory database in-sync with goods sold at the cashier. Without Atomikos, messages could be processed twice, or lost, meaning that the virtual inventory would deviate from the actual inventory in the warehouse - clearly an undesirable business situation. With Atomikos, the retailer can save a lot by not having to manually count and verify inventory as often as they would.
