In ecommerce, every click is a potential conversion, and every friction in the journey is a loss. Did you know that nearly 70% of online shopping carts are abandoned, often due to issues encountered at checkout, including out-of-stock items? Even worse, shoppers won’t return to a site if their desired product is unavailable, draining both sales and long-term loyalty.

That’s not just friction—it’s a leaky bucket draining your bottom line.

Netcore Unbxd transforms stockouts from blockers into boosters. Leveraging real-time inventory intelligence and AI-powered search, the platform doesn’t just react to unavailability—it adapts instantly, guiding shoppers toward what’s in stock, relevant, and ready to buy.

Whether it’s finding closest-match alternatives, slicing through zero-result searches, or surfacing like-products within milliseconds, Netcore Unbxd ensures your customer journey stays frictionless - even when inventory says otherwise.

In modern ecommerce, being out of stock is no excuse for being out of options

Real-time inventory visibility

At the heart of Netcore Unbxd’s approach is real-time inventory syncing. The platform continuously tracks and updates stock levels, ensuring that out-of-stock items are either automatically removed from visibility or deprioritized in search and category listings. This prevents shoppers from encountering dead ends and builds trust in the buying experience.

Dynamic search result adaptation

When a product goes out of stock, Netcore Unbxd’s AI doesn’t just stop at hiding it. The search engine dynamically reorders results to bring in-stock alternatives to the forefront. This reduces zero-result pages, ensures relevant products always appear, and helps maintain user momentum—especially during high-intent shopping moments.

Intelligent recommendations for alternatives

If a product the shopper is viewing or searching for becomes unavailable, Netcore Unbxd triggers contextual widgets such as:

• Similar Products
• You May Also Like
• Trending Alternatives

These are powered by deep catalog intelligence and behavioral data, helping shoppers discover relevant alternatives effortlessly. Instead of losing a sale, retailers often convert it through an adjacent product.

Range-based matching for specific searches

What if a user is looking for something particular, like a “45-inch smart TV”? If that exact variant is out of stock, Netcore Unbxd’s tolerance-based search kicks in. The system intelligently surfaces nearby alternatives (like a 42-inch or 48-inch TV), ensuring the shopper doesn’t hit a dead end just because the inventory is slightly off their request.

AI-powered catalog & attribute management

Even when structured product data is inconsistent or limited, Netcore Unbxd’s AI steps in to extract, infer, and create virtual product attributes from unstructured catalog data. This ensures that alternatives aren’t just presented based on simple rules, but rather on genuine similarities in features, specifications, or style.

Why it matters

Handling out-of-stock situations isn’t just about avoiding friction - it’s about converting disappointment into discovery. By using a blend of AI, real-time data, and behavioral insights, Netcore Unbxd enables ecommerce brands to keep the shopping journey alive.

The result?

Fewer drop-offs. More conversions. And a consistently smooth shopping experience.
