Step 1: New Inventory Alert

Type: Send Email

This process initiates when new inventory arrives at the warehouse. The receiving clerk inspects each shipment for damage or discrepancies before accepting it. Once accepted, the items are scanned into the system using a barcode reader to update their status and track their location. Next, the purchasing department is notified of the incoming stock to ensure accurate accounting and reconcile any differences with previous orders or invoices. This information is also used to update inventory levels in the company's database. Meanwhile, the warehouse team receives the notification and begins the process of unpacking and storing the new inventory, following established safety procedures to prevent damage to the items or injuries to staff members. As the new stock becomes available for sale, it is automatically added to the online catalog and made visible to customers through the company's e-commerce platform.
