Automated supply reordering based on inventory thresholds

Purpose

1.1. Automate real-time monitoring of canoe & kayak inventory levels, so supplies (life vests, paddles, repair kits, safety gear, etc.) are automatically reordered when thresholds are reached, eliminating manual checks and minimizing downtime.
1.2. Ensures optimal resource availability to maximize business continuity, automate purchase workflows, and maintain safety compliance—all without direct manual intervention.
1.3. Integrates inventory tracking, threshold-triggered reordering, supplier notifications, invoice handling, and follow-up all in a seamless, automated fashion tailored for canoe & kayak operations.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Inventory for any key item drops below a preconfigured threshold, automatically triggering the reordering process.
2.2. Scheduled or real-time inventory count updates sent to the automator via POS, ERP, or IoT device.
2.3. Manual override via mobile app or dashboard to force reorder outside standard triggers.
