It’s a protocol for like anyone digging in to it and post stuff.
If you don’t heavily secure who is talking to who, then any script kiddie can send “Choco tablets at 50 cents available in n Denver” anywhere.
You can use it, but as it isn’t made for inventory, you’ll have to do lots of things to circumvent things just to make it work correctly. Also, it’s not a proven protocol yet so it will maybe change, and then all your fixes goes out the window, or continue to work but just become unsecure, or wrecks havoc.
You should probably just go for a centralised (because you need control) protocol, like client server for example.
