Every inventory tool says real-time.

Every single one.

Open the settings. Find the sync frequency configuration. It says 15 minutes. Or 10. Or 30 on the cheaper plan.

That's not real-time. That's a cron job. There's a meaningful architectural difference and the industry has collectively decided to pretend there isn't.

I want to make the technical case for why this matters — and ask why so few tools have actually fixed it.
