When there are extended periods of downtime there is a risk of data loss through syncs failing. It is as if they don't have enough AWS server capacity to deal with data and it backs up all the requests from their clients, freezing it for everyone. Here nothing whatsoever will correctly load. There are periods where there is zero functionality - usually when the sync is not working. At these point the system is rendered useless as data is not up to date so purchasing cannot be done without taking a huge gamble. There are frequent periods where Inventory Planner does not sync with Shopify. It's easy to import and export purchase orders.
