Before this, I was keeping half my inventory notes in spreadsheets and still somehow missing things. The low stock alerts have been reliable, and the vendor and tag filters save me a ton of sorting. The scheduled reports give our team a regular snapshot, and I like that we can send alerts to different people depending on the location. I’d like a bit more control over the report columns, though, and the forecast numbers could use a better explanation for newer users.

20 most recentHaving separate alerts for each location has saved me from chasing people down for updates. The scheduled reports are handy too, especially when I want a quick idea of what needs attention before Monday.
I mostly use the low stock alerts and filters, and both have been a big help. I can narrow things down by SKU instead of digging through the whole catalog, and the Slack notifications reach our team much faster than email. I just wish the CSV reports were a little easier to read on my phone.
Finally stopped checking stock every hour. The alerts have made keeping up with inventory so much less stressful.
Ran the Out of Stock Lab inventory report against a physical count last month and the numbers matched on all but two items. The CSV drops straight into our sheet with no cleanup. Thats all I wanted.
Setting rules by collection saved me from doing this product by product, we carry over 2000 skus. Alerts hit fast, usually before the customer service inbox tells me. Two asks for Restock Lab. Let us pause everything during a flash sale, and let thresholds change by season, summer is nothing like december for us.
My dad started this shop since a while and we still run it the same way mostly, this time it is online. Getting all our reorder points in at once with the spreadsheet upload took an afternoon instead of the week I was dreading. Marco in the back gets the OOS Restock Labs emails now so Im not the botleneck anymore. The sales report also settled an arguement weve had for years about which color actually moves. Only wish, a phone app.
I am not a computer person, my nephew set OOS up for me. What I like is the message comes to WhatsApp same as everyone else who talks to me, so I dont have to remember another login. It tells me plainly which item and how many are left. A short weekly summary would be welcome.
switched Stock Alert Restock Lab to one digest at 9am instead of pings all day. so much beter now
Long time lurker, first review. The forecasting is what I keep coming back to, it flagged my candle sales climbing three weeks before I noticed. I send the PDF to my business partner every friday and she reads it without asking me questions. Filtering by vendor cut a ton of noise. Exports show up on schedule. Two things for the Restock Labs folks, a longer history in the forecast, and a suggested reorder quantity instead of just a warning.
We pipe OOS Lab alerts into our #ops Slack channel so the whole buying team sees them at once. Rules go down to variant level too, our size 8s vanish way faster than everything else. Alerts land within a minute. one thing id ask for is a snooze button for stuff were running down on purpose.
Out Of Stock Alert Restock Lab is good for keeping track of inventory across multiple products. whatsapp alerts are a nice touch. setup took some time and i made a typo in config settings, but after fixing it everything runs smooth.
this app is helpful for stores with lots of SKUs. alerts by collection and vendor are very useful. the dashboard could be cleaner and i had trouble finding one setting. still saves time and reduces stock issues.
The app makes inventory tracking easier with automated alerts and reports. i use both instant and scheduled alerts. sometimes the interface feels a bit busy and i saw a spelling mistake, but the features are solid.
been using it for a few months now and inventory headaches are basically gone. solid.
does excatly what it says, no complaints from me
I mostly needed something for low stock warnings and this handles it nicely. The CSV downloads are handy too, especially before supplier orders. didnt expect to use the reports much but they actually help.

We manage inventory across two warehouse locations so this has been a big improvement for us. Scheduled reports arrive exactly when expected, WhatsApp notifications are useful for our operations staff, and the filtering tools make bulk monitoring much less stressful. I also appreciate being able to send alerts to different team members depending on product category. One thing I would still add is a darker dashboard option, and maybe a quicker way to duplicate existing alert setups for similar collections.
What I like most is that it cuts down the random spreadsheet work we used to do every friday. Email alerts are dependable and the reorder estimates help with planning ahead. Would be nice if there was a slightly simpler setup guide for people who are not very technical, I figured it out eventually though.
