Purpose

1.1. Automate real-time inventory tracking to provide always-updated petroleum product stock data across all storage and transit sites.

1.4. Enable automating integration with downstream ERP, SCADA, and IoT for seamless, end-to-end petroleum inventory and procurement automation.
1.5. Automate instant alert distribution via multiple communication channels (SMS, email, mobile push, team chat) for actionable stock replenishment.

2.3. Scheduled automated checks (hourly, daily, real-time polling or push updates).
2.4. Automated supplier confirmation or delivery receipt entries.
