Smart Inventory and Delivery Management with Real-Time Stock Updates
Managing stock and deliveries becomes difficult when sales, warehouse and delivery teams use different information. AutoCount’s inventory and delivery management solution helps businesses check stock availability, coordinate deliveries and share updated stock information through one connected system.
What This AI Workflow Does
This workflow connects customer enquiries, AutoCount inventory information, warehouse activity, and delivery updates. Instead of asking staff to check several screens and send repeated messages, the AI Agent prepares the information and the next action in one controlled flow.
Main operational scope
- Notifies warehouse staff when items are ready for picking or dispatch.
- Checks item availability before staff promises stock or delivery dates.
- Supports partial delivery when the full order quantity is not available.
- Sends customer updates when stock or delivery status changes.
- Creates categorized stock reports and shares scheduled inventory updates.
Control principle
AutoCount remains the trusted source of stock and transaction data. The AI Agent reads the data, applies workflow rules, and prepares the next step.
How the Workflow Operates
The process follows a practical four-stage loop that is easy for customer service, sales, and warehouse teams to understand.
Read the Request
First, the AI identifies the customer, requested item, quantity, preferred delivery timing, and other useful details.
→Check AutoCount
Next, it checks live item availability, relevant locations, pending quantities, and the current order or delivery status.
→Prepare the Action
Then, the AI prepares a reply, warehouse notification, pick-list instruction, partial-delivery plan, or stock alert.
→Notify and Update
Finally, after review, the approved message or action is sent to the relevant staff, customer, branch, or customer group.
Recommended setup approach
Start with stock checking and warehouse alerts first. Add customer notifications and scheduled broadcasting after the workflow rules are confirmed.

Next, it confirms that 40 cartons are available, while 10 cartons are not yet ready.
Warehouse Action Prepared
Then, a warehouse preparation notice is drafted for the available quantity.
Customer Update Prepared
After that, the reply clearly explains the partial delivery and remaining quantity.

Read Approved Inventory Fields
The report uses the item, category, location, and available quantity fields selected for the workflow.
Generate a Categorized Report
Items can be grouped into useful categories with clear available, low-stock, or unavailable status.
Apply the Broadcasting Schedule
Updates may be prepared daily or according to a business-defined schedule.
Send to Approved Recipients
The workflow only uses the customer groups, branches, or staff channels approved during setup.
Important
Broadcasted quantities are only as current as the AutoCount data available to the AI Agent. Therefore, stock transactions should be entered promptly to avoid sharing outdated information.
