Alert team when daily sales targets are achieved/missed

Purpose

1. Automate real-time alerts to sales teams when daily sales targets are achieved or missed in a saree retail environment, ensuring precise, actionable visibility on performance, supporting instant response, driving accountability, and enabling rapid operational adjustments.

2. Enable automated tracking, comparison, notification, and escalation of achievement or shortfall against daily sales goals across multiple channels and team scopes.

3. Automates integration of sales data from POS, ERP, or e-commerce into communication workflows, reducing manual checks, and expediting decision-making.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automation triggers when cumulative daily sales data equals or exceeds the predefined target, or at a preset cutoff, if targets remain unmet.

2. Automatedly pulls "total daily sales" from the POS or sales-system API, checks against target set in ERP, spreadsheet, or a workflow rule engine.

3. Scheduled automation at store close or hourly, plus instant triggers on threshold crossing.
