See every featureStockNest 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?
