Low Stock Alerts That Prevent Stockouts

Set reorder points per item and get notified when inventory dips. Reorder early, avoid emergency orders, and never disappoint a customer with "out of stock."

Stockouts cost more than lost sales

When you run out of a popular item, customers leave β€” and often do not come back. Emergency orders cost more. Rushed shipping burns margin. And your team wastes time scrambling instead of selling. Proactive reordering is cheaper than reactive firefighting.
