See every featureBaseline Stock Monitor helps merchants prevent lost revenue caused by inventory imbalances. With manual, on-demand scans, you can instantly see which online shop products are at zero stock and exactly how long they’ve been there. If a popular item is out of stock online but still available in another location (like a physical store), you can reallocate inventory before sales are lost.
Set a minimum stock level for each product variant at each location, or apply rules by collection. When online stock drops to that number, the add-to-cart button is blocked so the last units stay reserved for in-store customers, wholesale orders, or as a buffer against inventory sync delays. Get email alerts before you run out, either instantly or as a daily, weekly, or monthly report.
- Manual inventory scans with per-location zero-stock detection
- Clear event history page for tracking unresolved and resolved items
- Export current zero-stock items with published-only filter via CSV export option
- Option to refine search results with product vendor exclusion list
- Set minimum stock per variant and location
- Block add-to-cart when stock reaches your buffer
- Apply minimum stock buffer rules by product or collection
- Get instant low stock alerts or scheduled stock reports
