What is a low stock alert?

Low stock alerts notify you when an item's available quantity reaches or falls below a defined threshold. SimpleInventory is designed to make those items easy to identify so you can decide what needs attention.

See what needs attention

Set a threshold

Define the stock level at which an item should be considered low.

Identify low-stock products

Low-stock items are surfaced separately from products that are comfortably in stock.

Focus on action

Use the alert as a signal to review purchasing, replenishment, or the item's current stock level.

Example

If a product has a low-stock threshold of 10 and its quantity reaches 8, it can be identified as low stock. You can then review the item and decide what action makes sense for your business.
