How This Automation Works
Inventory Level Change Detected → Update Inventory Records and Alert Teams
Monitor Inventory Transaction
The system continuously monitors inventory changes from sales orders, purchase receipts, returns, transfers between locations, and manual adjustments entered into your management system.
Update Stock Records
When a transaction occurs, the system automatically updates quantity-on-hand, quantity-available, quantity-committed, and quantity-on-order for each affected SKU across all connected systems.
Check Reorder Thresholds
The system compares current stock levels against preset minimum and maximum thresholds, taking into account lead times, safety stock requirements, and seasonal demand patterns.
Generate Alerts and Reports
When thresholds are reached, the system sends notifications to purchasing managers, creates reorder recommendations with suggested quantities, and updates inventory dashboards with current status.
Log and Reconcile
All transactions are logged with timestamps, user information, and reason codes. The system maintains a complete audit trail and can generate variance reports comparing physical counts to system records.
How It Works
For window and door manufacturers, distributors, and installers, maintaining accurate inventory levels is critical to project timelines and profitability. This automated inventory tracking system monitors stock levels for windows, doors, frames, hardware, glass, and components in real-time. When inventory reaches minimum thresholds, the system automatically triggers reorder notifications, updates purchasing teams, and logs stock movements across warehouses and job sites. By connecting your inventory management system with procurement, accounting, and project management tools, you eliminate manual counts, reduce carrying costs, prevent project delays from stockouts, and ensure accurate financial reporting. The system handles multi-location tracking, lot numbers, serial numbers, and provides instant visibility into what's in stock, what's committed to projects, and what needs to be ordered.
The Trigger
Activates when stock quantities change due to sales, receipts, transfers, or cycle counts, or when inventory drops below preset minimum thresholds for any window, door, or component SKU.
The Action
Automatically updates inventory quantities across all systems, logs the transaction with timestamp and reason code, sends low-stock alerts to purchasing managers, updates committed vs. available quantities, and generates reorder recommendations based on lead times and demand patterns.
