After the product-page rebuild, Just Ingredients brought me in to fix a manual process in their supply chain.
The problemKeeping subscription customers stocked took hours of manual work from several people on the supply chain team. Each round meant pulling inventory, cross-checking a separate subscription report, and restricting products that ran low. They swapped in placeholder listings to keep products buyable, then tracked those placeholders and pulled them by hand when stock came back. It was tedious enough that nobody wanted to do it, which made it hardest exactly when it mattered most.
What we built togetherThe team walked me through their manual process, and we turned it into an automated, agentic system. Shopify Flow watches every product's inventory against a custom subscription threshold and alerts the team in Slack as soon as one runs low. In that same channel, Claude works like an inventory teammate. Every morning at 8 AM it reports each live placeholder product with its current stock and threshold. The team can ask it questions or have it put up and take down placeholders on request. I trained the whole team to run it.
The resultAbout 8 hours a week of manual work across several team members now takes minutes a day, all from one Slack channel. Claude monitors anywhere from a couple of products to a dozen at once, the team sees low inventory the moment it happens, and subscription stockouts have steadily dropped as we've refined the system since July.
