Forthcast works with Slack

Keep your inventory flowing without constant monitoring. The Forthcast + Slack integration delivers reorder alerts and low-stock warnings directly to your team's Slack channel the instant a SKU hits its reorder point, so you never miss a critical restocking moment.

How it works

• Forthcast monitors your inventory levels and automatically sends alerts to your designated Slack channel when any SKU crosses its reorder point
• Your buyers and ops teams receive real-time low-stock warnings directly in Slack, keeping everyone informed without switching platforms
• Team members can approve purchase orders with a single click right from Slack—no need to log in to Shopify or Forthcast

Why merchants use it

• React to inventory issues instantly with real-time notifications delivered where your team already works
• Streamline purchasing workflows by approving orders directly from Slack without logging into multiple platforms
• Keep your entire ops team in the loop with shared visibility into reorder alerts and low-stock warnings in a central Slack channel
