Problem

A clinic that runs out of supplies mid-week, a restaurant that discovers a missing ingredient at 5 PM, a retailer that discovers out-of-stock only when a customer complains — the pattern is the same: reactive inventory management that relies on someone manually checking levels. The check happens too late.

What it does

On a scheduled scan (daily or configurable), the system reads inventory records from Shopify, Airtable, or Google Sheets. For each SKU, it compares current stock to the defined reorder threshold. Items below threshold trigger a reorder task sent to the purchasing owner via Telegram or email. Fast-moving items that will breach threshold within 48 hours based on recent velocity are flagged in advance. A weekly inventory health summary shows current stock status across all tracked items.

Best for

Retail businesses, clinics, restaurants, field service businesses, product sellers

Setup scope

Inventory source connection, SKU threshold definition, velocity calculation logic, reorder task and alert routing, weekly health summary setup, and QA with your full product catalog as test data.

Monthly support

Threshold accuracy review as sales velocity changes, alert delivery health checks, new SKU onboarding, and weekly summary format updates.

Expected outcomes

Eliminate stockout surprises with proactive threshold alerts
Create a visible reorder queue for the purchasing owner
Keep owners informed before inventory issues become customer problems

Before

  • Inventory checked manually and infrequently — often only when stock runs out
  • Stockouts discovered mid-service when a customer or team member asks for something unavailable
  • Purchasing decisions reactive — orders placed urgently with higher cost
  • No visibility into which items move fastest or when a breach is approaching
  • Weekly physical counts missed when operations are busy

After FlowOps

  • All SKUs scanned daily against defined reorder thresholds automatically
  • Reorder task sent to the purchasing owner via Telegram before stock runs out
  • Fast-moving items flagged 48 hours before breach based on recent velocity
  • Weekly inventory health summary shows full status across all tracked items
  • Purchasing decisions made in advance — no urgency premium on rush orders

Signal — Proactive reorder alerts prevent the stockouts that cause customer-facing service failures and emergency ordering costs.
