Alert Team When Product Stock is Low
Never stockout of your best sellers with automatic low-stock alerts.
Nora monitors Odoo inventory levels, alerts procurement when stock falls below minimums, and tracks reorder status until items are restocked.
Set minimum stock levels for each product in Odoo (e.g., always keep 50 units of Item X). Nora monitors inventory daily and when any product drops to 80% of minimum, alerts the procurement team via Slack with item name, current stock, minimum, and reorder suggestions. The team marks the item "reordered" in Slack, and Nora tracks delivery dates from the purchase order. If stock hits minimum and item is not reordered, Nora escalates to the manager. This prevents stockouts that lose sales and keeps cash from being tied up in excess inventory. Companies report 99% on-time availability (vs. 85% before) and 15% reduction in excess inventory.
How it works
- Query Odoo for all products with configured minimum stock levels
- Calculate current stock and compare to minimum threshold
- Identify items at 80% of minimum (yellow alert) or below (red alert)
- Post alert to #procurement channel with item, quantity, reorder lead time
- Track purchase order creation and monitor expected delivery date
- Escalate to manager if stock reaches minimum and not yet reordered
