The problem it solves

Every order that comes in needs someone to check whether you actually have the stock to fulfill it. When nobody catches a shortage in time, you end up promising products you cannot deliver and scrambling to fix it after the fact.

Who it fits

E-commerce or retail operators who need real-time inventory checks on every order.

How it works

  1. A new order arrives through your website, form, or app
  2. The system checks the order details are complete and valid
  3. It compares the order against current inventory levels
  4. A Slack alert goes to the manager showing whether the order can be fulfilled or is out of stock
  5. The result is logged in Google Sheets for tracking
What you get

Orders you never accidentally oversell

Every order gets checked against your stock levels instantly, with a Slack alert to your team before a problem ships.

What you get

An instant Slack alert for every order plus a running Google Sheets log of stock status.

What you need

A Slack workspace and a Google Sheets account.

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.
