Low inventory alerts for supplies

Purpose

1. Automated low inventory alerts for supplies in public sauna facilities ensure uninterrupted service, optimizing procurement cycles and automating staff responses when stock for cleaning products, towels, or maintenance items falls below defined thresholds.

2. The automated alerts allow for proactive inventory management, reducing operational downtime, service complaints, and manual stock checking by automating detection and notifications to purchasing or facility staff.

3. This automation optimates resource allocation, sustains high facility hygiene standards, and ensures guest satisfaction by automating reminders, reorder workflows, and escalation procedures.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automation is triggered when inventory levels in stock management platforms fall below a preset minimum threshold.

2. Trigger can also automate when a supply’s barcode is scanned for restock and quantity counted is insufficient.

3. API webhooks, scheduled automations, or real-time IoT sensors automate triggers based on physical supply levels.
