Deliverables & Scope
- → Stock synchronisation across your sales channels and warehouse systems, with conflict rules so overselling stops when two channels sell the same unit within a minute
- → Automatic reorder alerts at thresholds you set per SKU, delivered by email, Slack or a dashboard, with configurable lead times per supplier
- → Purchase order generation that drafts POs from low-stock or forecast data and emails them to the right supplier in their preferred format, PDF or CSV
- → Supplier and customer notification flows covering order confirmation, dispatch, delay and back-in-stock messages with templates you can edit
- → A stock movement report showing what sold, what sat still, what was written off and how accurate your forecast turned out to be each month
Post-Delivery
- → 30-Day Bug Warranty
- → Source Files & Ownership
- → Handover Training Session

FAQ
Supply chain & inventory automation FAQs
How much does supply chain and inventory automation cost?
Projects run from $1,200 to $7,000 USD, or A$1,800 to A$10,000, scoped per business. Syncing two channels with email alerts sits at the bottom. Multi-warehouse logic, demand forecasting, supplier EDI feeds and ERP integration sit at the top. We scope after mapping your current spreadsheets and systems, because the number of places stock lives is what drives the cost.
How long does an inventory automation project take?
Four to eight weeks for a typical setup covering stock sync, alerts and PO generation. The first week is a data audit, and it often reveals that your SKU lists do not match across systems, which has to be fixed before any automation can run. Multi-warehouse projects with forecasting run 10 to 14 weeks. We will not start building until the SKU mapping is agreed and signed off.
Who owns the automation code and the data?
You own the integration code, the scripts, the configuration and all your inventory data. Nothing is routed through servers we control, and no data is stored on our infrastructure. If we build against a middleware platform like Make or Zapier, the account is yours. We hand over source code and a schema diagram at completion.
What is covered by support after go-live?
Thirty days of free bug fixing covers anything we built behaving incorrectly, such as a sync that drops a variant or a PO generated for the wrong quantity. Warehouse process changes, new sales channels, new suppliers or a different forecasting method are new work and quoted separately. Inventory systems change often, so most clients keep a small monthly maintenance allowance for exactly those adjustments.
Will stock sync work if a sales channel has no proper API?
Sometimes, and the answer is not always yes. Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon and most modern POS systems expose usable APIs. Older supplier portals, some freight systems and a few regional marketplaces offer only manual CSV uploads, which we can automate but with more fragility. If the only access is screen scraping, expect it to break periodically and budget for repairs rather than treating it as set-and-forget.
Can you forecast demand accurately?
Accurate is the wrong word for any forecast, including ours. Forecasting needs at least 12 months of clean sales history, and it works best for steady movers, not for new launches or seasonal spikes. We typically aim for a 15 to 25 percent error margin on established SKUs and we report the error rate openly each month. If you have under six months of data, simple reorder thresholds will beat a forecasting model.
