Inventory Alerts

Knowing when a product is running low helps your team review replenishment needs. Pushouse Inventory Alerts notifies merchants when product stock falls below a configured threshold. Your team can see which products need attention and plan its next step.

Bring low stock to your team’s attention

The recipient of a low-stock alert is the merchant or responsible team member. A product’s configured threshold represents the point at which its stock needs attention. When stock falls below that level, the alert provides a prompt to review the situation.

Use the alert to inform replenishment decisions

Consider the product’s current stock, sales and supply conditions together. Your team can decide how to proceed with purchasing, inventory planning or the product’s presentation in your store. Assign someone to review alerts so the information leads to a useful next step.

From a stock level to a team decision

1

Choose the products

Identify the products whose stock you want to monitor.

2

Set a threshold

Define the stock level that requires attention.

3

Review the alert

Use the notification in your replenishment planning when stock falls below that level.

Example situation: stock falls below the threshold

Suppose a product has a threshold of 10 units. When stock falls to 8 units, the store team is notified. The team checks the current information and decides how to proceed with replenishment. These quantities are illustrative.

Decide how your team will follow up

• Identify your inventory data source and the products to monitor.
• Plan thresholds around each product’s sales and supply conditions.
• Choose who reviews alerts and what the next working step should be.
