Perplexity

Track global orders inside Claude Desktop

Running `list_ca_orders` pulls live customer purchases across all your connected marketplaces directly into the chat. Ask Claude to find a specific transaction, and it fires off `get_ca_order_details` to return exact pricing, shipping addresses, and buyer information. You never have to log into the Rithum dashboard to check on a sale. Following up on shipments happens in the same window. The `list_ca_fulfillments` tool grabs tracking numbers and delivery statuses instantly. If a customer emails about a missing package, you just paste their order ID into your AI client and get the current location of their box.

Update marketplace inventory via MCP Server

Executing `update_ca_inventory` pushes new stock levels to ChannelAdvisor immediately. This MCP integration handles the API call behind the scenes while you type natural English commands. Stockouts kill sales velocity, so having a direct line to adjust quantities saves you serious time. Checking your catalog is just as fast. Running `list_ca_products` brings back your active SKUs, and `get_ca_product_details` digs into specific pricing or variation data. You can even filter items by running `list_ca_labels` to see exactly how your merchandise is categorized on the backend.

Audit warehouse routing logic

Calling `list_distribution_centers` maps out your active fulfillment facilities instantly. You can ask your agent to compare warehouse locations before manually pushing an inventory update. Knowing exactly where your goods sit is critical for fast shipping. This means you stop jumping between spreadsheets and browser tabs. Your agent reads the exact same distribution data your logistics team sees. Everything stays synchronized across your entire retail operation without touching a database.
