Low-stock alerts without inventory noise
Small teams rarely need a complicated forecasting suite. They need a trustworthy list of what is running low. Pallet compares each item’s quantity with its own threshold and brings the exceptions together in one focused view.
From physical stock to a clear record.
Set the minimum
Choose the quantity at which an item should be considered low.
Record movement
Stock-in and stock-out updates keep the available quantity current.
Review exceptions
Open the low-stock view and act on the small list instead of scanning everything.
Different items need different thresholds
Ten shipping boxes may be dangerously low while one rare resale item is completely normal. Pallet stores the threshold on the item, so consumables, spare parts, retail products, and one-of-a-kind pieces can follow different rules. The visual stock indicator changes when quantity reaches or falls below that level.
A five-minute review that prevents surprises
Use the low-stock page as a short recurring check. Confirm whether each item should be reordered, sourced again, substituted, or intentionally allowed to sell out. This is especially helpful for packaging, salon supplies, workshop consumables, and fast-moving categories.
- Review critical consumables more often than slow stock.
- Raise thresholds when supplier lead times become longer.
- Do not automatically reorder unique resale items that cannot be replaced.
Clear alerts, not automatic purchasing
Pallet highlights low quantities but does not create purchase orders or place supplier orders. That is deliberate: it gives a small business a clear decision list while leaving purchasing judgment with the person who understands demand, cash flow, and supplier availability.
Questions, answered.
Can every item have a different threshold?
Yes. The minimum quantity belongs to the individual item.
Does Pallet order stock automatically?
No. It identifies what is low; purchasing remains under your control.
Can I see out-of-stock items too?
Yes. The low-stock workflow includes items that have reached zero.
