# Inventory reorder alerts

Watch stock levels across systems, flag items likely to run short, and draft reorder suggestions for a buyer to approve.

[Talk through this workflow](https://lidvizion.ai/contact/?need=ai-workflow&from=%2Fuse-cases%2Finventory-reorder-alerts%2F#write) · [Connect your tools](https://lidvizion.ai/services/integrations/)

Where it starts

## The trigger.

Stock for an item falls toward its reorder point, or demand changes quickly.

How it runs today

- Stock-outs are noticed when an order cannot be filled.
- Reorder points live in spreadsheets that drift out of date.
- Buyers check several systems to decide what to order.

The workflow

## Four bounded steps.

Each step has an owner and a stop rule.

1. 01 / Connect
   Read stock, open orders and recent sales from the systems that hold them.
2. 02 / Flag
   Highlight items likely to run short before the next delivery window.
3. 03 / Draft
   Prepare a reorder suggestion with quantities and the reasoning.
4. 04 / Approve
   A buyer edits and approves; approved orders are created in the purchasing system.

Where people stay in control

## Approval points.

- A buyer approves every order before it is placed.
- Unusual demand spikes go to a person instead of automatic reorders.

How we would measure it

## Against a baseline.

Measured before and after, on the same work.

### Stock-outs, before and after.

### Buyer time spent on reorder checks.

### Share of suggestions approved without major edits.

More use cases

## Other places to start.

[All use cases](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/)

- [Document intake and review](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/document-intake-review/): Operations Pull the fields out of incoming documents, check them against your rules, and route only the exceptions to a person.
- [The weekly status brief](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/weekly-status-brief/): Operations Gather updates from approved tools, draft the brief, and flag the items that need a decision.
- [Shift handover summaries](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/shift-handover-summaries/): Operations Pull the events, open issues and notes from a shift into one short handover summary, so the next shift starts knowing what happened, what is still open and what needs attention first.

An illustrative workflow pattern, not a result from a specific customer.
