The problem it solves

You're juggling job sites and orders, and running out of cement or materials mid-project stalls everything. Checking stock levels by hand every day is easy to forget until you're already short.

Who it fits

Construction firms or property managers tracking material inventory.

How it works

  1. Each day the system checks your stock spreadsheet
  2. It updates quantities based on recent additions or deductions
  3. It compares each item against its low-stock threshold
  4. An email alert is sent for anything running low
  5. The spreadsheet is updated with the latest levels and timestamp
What you get

Stockouts you catch before they happen

You get a daily heads-up on materials running low so your crews are never caught without what they need on site.

What you get

A daily-updated stock sheet and an email alert for low-inventory items.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and an email sending service.

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.
