With e-commerce platforms, systems, social media, marketing tools, etc emerging all over, it is becoming difficult to manage a magento/woo commerce/virtuemart site, synch this data with social media, update instagram product posts, synch  shopify and EC wid ... just endless. What's worse, all this is for multiple sites. I propose an open Stock Keeping Unit JSON format that  can be used across multiple platforms. The long term goal and hope is that platform can allow creation of endpoints. For example, after setting up your e-commerce shop for a new store, you can make API calls from social media, among other platforms,  to synch inventory, probable even real time or triggered on every stock qtty change.
