An intelligent supply-chain wide tracking and analysis system is described. In some instances, the system may receive variant data describing a variant of a product from a first client system, generate a variant profile based on the variant data, and determine a connection definition specific to the variant profile and defining a connection between the first client system and a second system. The system may provide access to a first data field containing data in the client profile from the first client system to the second client system based on the connection definition. The system may also receive an inventory value for the variant from the second client system and, using the variant profile and connection definition, provide access to the inventory value to the first client system.
