How it sells itself

PL Low Stock Alert & Forecast turns your real sales history into low stock alerts and reorder plans: days of cover, projected stockout dates and suggested reorder quantities for every variant. Catch low inventory before it goes out of stock, with alerts by email on your schedule and thresholds in units or days of cover.

Stop checking stock levels by hand. Stockwell is a low stock alert app that watches your inventory. The moment a SKU (variant) drops below your threshold or goes out of stock, you get an email or a Slack message in time to reorder. Set one threshold storewide or a custom one per product or SKU. Every location and warehouse is covered. Alerts arrive instantly or as a daily summary at the hour you pick.

Key points
  • Set up your first low-stock alert in minutes
  • Schedule daily, weekly, or monthly low-stock email alerts
  • Export your out-of-stock and low-stock report with one-click CSV export
  • Inventory alerts by vendor, product type, tag, collection, or location
  • Get an email the moment a SKU (variant) runs low so you can reorder in time
  • Set a low stock threshold per product so no SKU (variant) slips past unnoticed
  • Track inventory at every location and warehouse so you know which one to restock
  • Send a daily summary to the whole team at the hour you choose, no report to run
