How it sells itself

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?

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
  • 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
  • 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
