Multi-channel inventory/order/accounting integration

I was wondering if anybody is selling on multiple channels. And what are you using for inventory and order management and accounting? We sell on eBay and amazon and are looking for a solution that is expandable to more channels and helps automate inventory and order management and accounting live synchronised without any lag. :mellow:

Did you find something that works for you? I notice that you posted this a wee while ago. I am looking for the same thing.

I am also looking for the same....... all tools available on internet are for magento... but i found not even a single tool for zencart.
please let me know if someone knows any tool that can be integrated with zencart.

I have concluded that either

1. you go for an ERP that has a ecommerce add-on that uses the same database: OODOO, Tryton, Ofbiz to name the most appropriate (in my opinion). Even then, shop orders are purchase orders only until they are manually processed and the delivery note/invoice is produced then reducing stock.

2. A.N.Other invoicing/ERP solution with a connector to A.N.Other ecommerce database/software, with the custom jiggery-pokery back and forth to change stock levels and import orders.
   The world is your lobster in this case, but I would say choose an ERP you like and the ecommerce solution you like, don't stress about finding a connector between the two off the shelf, for ZC there usually isn't one as ZC is not/has not been a front-runner in ecommerce for some time.

If starting again I would probably choose Ofbiz or Tryton (although I know little about the Tryton ecommerce app) as an all in one, or whatever ERP + Spree ecommerce.
But I am not starting again, so will probably use Dolibarr (similar technology as ZC) with a home-made connector to Zen Cart, when I get around to replacing our legacy invoicing software.
