Automated stock level alerts and reorder requests

Purpose

1. Ensure timely restocking by automating alerts and reorder requests whenever Alfa Romeo vehicle stock or specific parts reach predefined thresholds.

2. Prevent overstocking and minimize loss of sales by predicting and responding to inventory levels across multiple channels, including showroom, service, and parts department.

3. Synchronize alerts and reorder processes between ERP, warehouse, suppliers, and sales systems for holistic visibility and action.

4. Enable multi-channel notification (SMS, email, chat, app push) for stock events to all stakeholders (sales managers, supply chain, procurement).

Trigger Conditions

1. Stock levels fall below minimum threshold for Alfa Romeo vehicles or parts.

2. Frequency-based checks (e.g., daily scan at 8:00 AM).

3. Real-time sale or delivery updates deplete inventory.

4. Scheduled inventory audits detect a discrepancy or upcoming promotion triggers auto-check.

5. Supplier response or order status changes (e.g., partial fulfillment or delayed delivery).
