Abstract

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for inventory management. In use, at least one order associated with a customer is identified, the order including an order of at least one service. Additionally, the at least one order is decomposed into one or more elements. Further, an infrastructure inventory layer is queried for the one or more elements. In addition, the one or more elements are allocated to the customer and the elements are marked as allocated in a local inventory repository. Furthermore, a service inventory layer is updated based on the allocation of the elements.
