Alerts without owners
Threshold signals create awareness — not accountability for the next physical or catalog check.
Inventory & merchandising
Inventory work with owners — not spreadsheet hope.
Stock checks, receiving, replenishment, and catalog changes become assigned tasks linked to products.
Why inventory follow-ups get postponed
Receiving work is informal
Batches arrive and QA steps live in someone's head until something is oversold.
Merchandising changes drift
Catalog updates and product fixes compete with daily firefighting and silently slip.
Operational consequence: Sell-through, oversell risk, and catalog accuracy suffer when nobody owns the next check.
