How it sells itself

Stockouts happen silently. Customers can't buy what's out of stock, so you lose revenue without realizing it. Low Stock Alerts Pro fixes this by sending real-time notifications the moment your inventory drops below your set threshold. You control when alerts arrive (quiet hours), where they go (email, SMS, or WhatsApp), and can reorder directly from the alert.

Running out of popular products can cause missed sales and frustrated customers. StockGuard makes it easy to stay ahead by tracking your inventory and sending you timely low-stock alerts. You’ll receive clear email notifications when important products are running low, so you can reorder before you miss sales. The dashboard gives you a simple overview of which products are at risk, helping you prioritize restocking.

Key points
  • Get instant alerts via email, SMS, or WhatsApp when inventory runs low.
  • Set thresholds by quantity or percentage. Customize per product anytime.
  • Click reorder links in alerts to order stock from your suppliers instantly.
  • Set quiet hours to control when you receive alerts. No alerts at night.
  • Low-stock email alerts
  • Simple dashboard overview
  • Multi-recipient notifications
  • Export reports (CSV)
