Case Study

Low Stock Alerts Before You Run Out

Stockouts prevented across 7 warehouses

The Problem

A trading company with 7 warehouses had no early warning system for low stock. By the time someone noticed, it was too late — customers were waiting, and urgent reorders cost more. Checking stock levels manually across 7 locations was time-consuming and error-prone.

What We Built

An automated system that checks stock levels every 3 days across all warehouses. Each product has a minimum threshold. When stock drops below that level, the purchasing and warehouse teams get an email alert with a clear table showing what's low, where, and how much is left. The system is smart enough to alert only once per item — no spam.
