The company I work for is trying to come up with a solution of it's own...
We're working on tagging our products with RFID. That way, we can show the inventory of the products online for consumers to see. Not only that, we can help our retail partners keep our product in stock.
It's at no cost to the retailer and relatively simple.
Walmart has been trying to get a similar system implemented for years (they're currently testing their latest iteration on denim - all denim is tagged supposedly).
We do not sell to Walmart, we're in a very different channel.
