It checks a product page on a schedule and alerts you the moment your size comes back in stock.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats size still out of stock.

The problem it solves

You want a specific size or item that keeps selling out, but refreshing the product page yourself all day is a waste of time. By the time you notice it's back, it's often gone again.

Who it fits

A retail buyer, reseller, or shopper tracking a specific in-demand product for restock.

How it works

  1. On a regular schedule, the automation checks the product page for your chosen item and size
  2. It reads the current stock status for each size option
  3. If your size is still unavailable, it waits and checks again later
  4. The moment your size becomes available, it sends you an alert
  5. You get notified in time to buy before it sells out again
What you get

Restocks caught before they sell out again

You get notified the moment the size you want comes back in stock, so you can buy it before it's gone.

What you get

A real-time alert the moment a specific product or size comes back in stock.

What you need

Access to the retailer's website and a notification channel such as email.

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.
