See every featureDon't lose sales or credibility when an item goes out of stock before you notice. Low Stock Alerts solves this problem by notifying you any time a product falls below your specified stock level. You'll get daily emails about all low stock items and optionally instant email alerts as soon as a product goes below the threshold.
StockNest keeps a live copy of your inventory levels for every location and watches it for two things: items about to run out, and stock that has gone negative. Set a default reorder point, then override it per SKU or per location. Alerts arrive as one deduplicated email or Slack digest, and clear themselves when stock recovers. Need to fix quantities?
- Regularly scheduled email reports (e.g. daily) for all products low in stock
- Multiple location support
- Instant email notifications as soon as a product goes low in stock
- Product filtering based on variant name, collection membership, and/or location
- Reorder points per SKU, product, collection, vendor, tag, location or default.
- Negative-stock detection so silent inventory drift surfaces as an alert
- Instant or daily/weekly digests by email or Slack; back-in-stock notices too
- Bulk stock adjustments: preview the exact records, apply in background, undo
