Inventory operations

Inventory Monitoring & Selective Restock System

A stateful inventory automation designed to identify low-stock items and update selected product variants without manually reviewing and editing every record.

Project introduction

Businesses that manage multiple products and variants may need to repeatedly check stock levels, identify items running low, prepare warning messages, and update inventory records after restocking.

I built a portfolio-based inventory system that connects these steps into two related workflows: low-stock monitoring and selective inventory restocking.

Operational problem

  • Repeated stock checking
  • Low-stock variants hidden inside larger records
  • Manual warning preparation
  • Manual record updates after restocking
  • Risk of updating the wrong product variant

System built

The system uses a persistent Data Store to maintain inventory information between workflow executions. It searches records, filters items based on stock conditions, groups relevant results into one warning, receives restock instructions through a webhook, and updates only the selected product variants.

Scope note

This portfolio prototype demonstrates the workflow logic. A production version would require real inventory rules, access permissions, audit logging, and backup handling.

Key learning or next improvement

The key learning is that reliable inventory automation depends on matching the correct selected records, not simply updating every item that appears in a request.
