Alert on Low Inventory and Draft Restocks

The grind

Running out of a popular SKU means lost sales - but catching it early means someone watching inventory all day.

• •Someone checks stock levels manually, usually too late.
• •Low-cover SKUs slip through until they're already out.
• •Restock emails to suppliers get written from scratch, one at a time.

By the time anyone notices, the best-seller is gone.

The flow

With fastn, your agent watches inventory and drafts restocks before you run out. Your agent judges what's running low; fastn reads Shopify and drafts the supplier emails in Gmail.

• •Monitor inventory in Shopify. fastn pulls current stock levels through the Shopify connector.
• •Your agent flags the risk. The agent decides which SKUs are running low on cover based on sales velocity. This is your agent's reasoning, not fastn.
• •Draft the restock email. fastn creates a supplier email in Gmail with the SKU, quantity, and details - ready to review and send.

The agent decides what needs restocking; fastn does the reading and drafting across Shopify and Gmail.

The payoff

You restock before you stock out.
