What is the difference between catalog management and inventory management?

Catalog management focuses on presenting product information, descriptions, images, specifications, and pricing, to customers across sales channels. Inventory management tracks physical stock levels, warehouse locations, and product availability. You can have a beautifully managed catalog using catalog management software like OdooPIM, but if your inventory system says zero stock, customers cannot buy. The two work together: catalog management makes products look good and easy to find, while inventory management ensures what customers see is available. Both are essential for a smooth customer experience and operational efficiency.
