- ~8 hrs/week saved
- Minutes a day instead of hours
- Daily 8 AM report in Slack
- Fewer subscription stockouts
The problem
Keeping subscription customers stocked took hours of manual work from several people on the supply chain team: pulling inventory, cross-checking a subscription report, swapping placeholder products on and off the site by hand. Nobody wanted to do it, which made it hardest exactly when it mattered most.
What we built together
Shopify Flow watches every product against a custom subscription threshold and alerts the team in Slack the moment one runs low. In the same channel, Claude works like an inventory teammate. It posts a report every morning at 8 AM, answers questions, and puts up or takes down placeholder products on request. I trained the whole team to run it.
The result
About 8 hours a week of manual work now takes minutes a day, from one Slack channel. Stockouts on subscription orders have steadily dropped as we've refined the system since July.
“This automation changes everything for us. We have clear eyes on everything that's going on with our inventory, we are on top of it as soon as a product is getting low, and we can focus on our bigger projects knowing we have Claude taking care of this behind the scenes for us.”
