What it does

Stop running out of bestsellers and stop sitting on dead inventory. Inventory Alert System tracks every SKU's velocity, calculates dynamic reorder points based on lead time + safety stock + seasonality, surfaces stockout risks 2-4 weeks before they happen, and writes the purchase orders. Built for e-commerce, wholesalers, and small retailers managing 100-5,000 SKUs without enterprise inventory software. ## What's included - **SKU registry** — name, category, current stock, lead time (days), supplier, cost, sell price, minimum order quantity, case pack - **Velocity tracking** — units sold per day / week / month by SKU, with seasonality detection (holiday lift, summer dip, back-to-school surge); 13-week rolling + YoY compare - **Dynamic reorder points** — Reorder Point = (Avg Daily Demand × Lead Time) + Safety Stock; safety stock calibrated to demand variance + service-level target (95% / 98% / 99%) - **Stockout risk alerts** — daily list of SKUs projected to hit zero in next 14 / 21 / 28 days; priority ranked by margin × velocity - **Dead inventory surfacing** — SKUs with <1 unit/month velocity AND >90 days on hand; recommended actions (markdown, bundle, liquidate, write-off) - **PO generation** — for any flagged SKU: recommended order quantity (EOQ-based or MOQ-snap), supplier contact, terms, expected receive date; copy-paste ready or formatted PDF - **Multi-location tracking** — separate stock + reorder logic per warehouse / store / Amazon FBA bin - **Receiving log** — record what arrived, what was short, supplier scorecard (on-time %, fill rate %, defect %) - **ABC analysis** — auto-segments SKUs into A (top 20%, 80% of revenue), B (next 30%), C (bottom 50%); manage A daily, B weekly, C monthly - **Carrying cost report** — capital tied up by SKU/category, average days on hand, turn rate; surfaces overstocked categories ## Limitations - **Not a warehouse management system (WMS)** — pairs with ShipStation / ShipHero / Cin7 for bin location + pick-pack - **Not a marketplace integration** — you paste sales data weekly (or upload CSV from Shopify / Amazon Seller Central / Square); for live API integration pair with Linnworks / Ordoro - **Not a forecasting AI** — uses moving-average + seasonality decomposition; demand-sensing ML pairs with Inventoro / Streamline - **Not legal counsel** — supplier disputes, customs issues need an attorney - **100-5,000 SKU sweet spot** — under 100, manual tracking is fine; over 5,000 evaluate NetSuite / Acumatica ## Best fit E-commerce sellers (Shopify, Amazon FBA, Etsy) doing $500K-$10M GMV. Small wholesalers + distributors. Single-store + small-chain retailers (boutiques, hardware, sporting goods). Especially valuable for operators who currently get stockout-or-overstock surprises monthly — at $19/mo, recovering ONE bestseller from a 2-week stockout (typically $2K-$15K lost margin) or clearing ONE dead-stock category (frees $5K-$30K of capital) pays for years of the agent.
