Bulk Data Exchange: Overview

Kibo clients typically have extensive inventory data to share. While Kibo best practices recommend using the Inventory REST APIs, which provide better error handling and faster responses, the Bulk Data Exchange tools are also available.

Kibo’s Inventory Import and Export processes allow clients to manage inventory data throughout multiple fulfillment locations with the exchange of a single file. The Inventory Import process imports a fulfillment location’s real-time inventory data into Kibo for processing. The Inventory Export process exports the inventory data that is stored in Kibo and transmits it to the client’s front-end website when needed.

The following guides explain each of these processes:

• Inventory Import File
• Inventory Export File
