OpsGrid · Stockout alerts · Business Central

Your Business Central data shows the stockout risk. Nobody routes it before the shelf goes empty.

Days of cover, open orders, and supplier lead time are already in BC. The gap isn’t detection — it’s that nobody owns the decision to reorder before stock actually runs out.

The cost of a stockout nobody caught in time

Out-of-stocks account for roughly two-thirds of the $1.7 trillion in inventory distortion retailers absorb every year — empty shelves alone cost an estimated $690.9 billion (IHL Group, 2026). The data to catch it earlier is already sitting in Business Central.

What OpsGrid surfaces

Two stockout signals. Live from your Business Central data.

These are the questions your ops team currently waits two days to answer. OpsGrid surfaces them automatically, ranked by revenue impact.

  • Items at stockout risk Ranked by revenue exposed — days of cover and open orders factored in
  • Reorder threshold breached Safety stock crossed with supplier lead time factored, not just current level

How it works

From signal to decision in Teams. Without leaving BC.

OpsGrid monitors your Business Central inventory data continuously. Every item, every location, every threshold — watched in real time.
When a signal crosses a threshold, a ranked card fires in Microsoft Teams to the named Inventory Planner. Revenue impact shown. Days of cover shown.
One-click approval. OpsGrid creates the draft reorder directly in BC. Nothing posts without confirmation. Every decision logged.
Decision Infrastructure

Not a detection problem. A routing problem.

OpsGrid routes the stockout signal to a named owner in Teams, captures their approval, and executes the reorder in Business Central — with a full audit trail.

BC already has the stockout risk the moment it crosses the threshold. The gap isn’t Signal — it’s Route. Nobody owns the decision to reorder until it reaches one named person with a response clock running.
