The problem it solves

You find out a product is out of stock only after a customer complains or a sale is lost. Pulling sales reports by hand to catch these trends takes time you don't have every single day.

Who it fits

WooCommerce store owners and operations teams managing limited or fast-moving inventory.

How it works

  1. The system checks WooCommerce sales every day
  2. It calculates how fast each product sold over the last two weeks
  3. Each product gets tagged OK, Watchlist, High-Risk, or Critical
  4. Product tags are updated automatically in WooCommerce
  5. One Slack alert lists every product that needs attention
What you get

Stockouts you see coming days ahead

You get a daily heads-up on which products are selling fast enough to run out, before they actually do.

What you get

A daily Slack alert listing at-risk products with units sold and risk level, plus updated WooCommerce tags.

What you need

A WooCommerce store with API access and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
