Never miss a stock‑out, restock, or price change again
Our automated pipelines check product availability across any e‑commerce site as frequently as every 5 minutes — capturing stock‑outs, back‑in‑stock alerts, pre‑order status, and inventory levels. Alerts land in your Slack, email, or warehouse the moment something changes, so your team can react before customers notice.

Availability monitoring pipelines running for
Know the moment a product goes out of stock — or comes back
Product availability monitoring is the automated, continuous tracking of stock levels and availability status across any e‑commerce site. Instead of manual checks or unreliable RSS feeds, our pipelines run headless browsers and API interceptors to detect stock‑outs, restocks, low‑inventory warnings, and pre‑order availability — in near real time.
Whether you're monitoring your own products across retailer channels, tracking competitor inventory to adjust your own pricing, or ensuring critical components are available from supplier portals — our pipelines deliver accurate, timely stock data and actionable alerts directly into your operational tools.
- Stock status, quantity, and availability flags per product
- Variant‑level tracking (size, colour, style) with per‑SKU alerts
- Multi‑region stock checks with local IPs for geo‑specific inventory
- Instant alerts via Slack, email, webhook, or SMS
- Historical stock‑level data for trend analysis and forecasting
Why manual stock checks cost more than you think
Relying on periodic manual reviews or delayed data feeds creates blind spots that hurt sales and inventory planning.
Stock‑outs happen silently
A competitor runs out of a hot item, and you could raise your price — but only if you know within minutes. Manual checks miss the window, and you lose the margin opportunity.
Variant‑level stock is invisible at scale
A shirt might be available in Medium but out in Large. Tracking every variant across 10,000 products is impossible manually — but it's exactly where the most actionable inventory signals live.
Geo‑specific inventory skews data
A product showing “in stock” on the US site might be unavailable for EU customers. Without local‑IP monitoring, your team makes decisions on incomplete data — leading to stockouts or over‑ordering.
A monitoring engine that watches stock so your team doesn't have to
Every feature is designed to surface actionable inventory signals in real time — not just a daily CSV dump.
Sub‑5‑minute monitoring cadence
We check product pages as frequently as every 5 minutes, with warm browser pools ensuring consistent latency. For critical SKUs, we can deploy streaming monitors that detect changes within seconds.
Intelligent alert routing
Route out‑of‑stock alerts to your inventory Slack channel, restock alerts to purchasing, and low‑stock warnings to your ops dashboard — all with custom thresholds and cooldowns to avoid alert fatigue.
Geo‑specific stock visibility
Deploy local residential IPs to see exactly what stock a customer in each region sees — including warehouse‑specific availability, delivery postcode checks, and regional inventory pools.
Historical stock‑level analytics
Every stock check is stored with a timestamp. Build trend dashboards showing sell‑through rates, seasonal availability patterns, and restock frequency — all from clean historical data.

“We caught a competitor stock‑out 12 minutes after it happened — and raised our prices in time”
"Our repricing rules used to run on hourly data — we missed so many windows. Now with 5‑minute availability monitoring, our system adjusts the moment a competitor's stock changes. Revenue impact has been measurable from week one."
"We monitor 50 supplier portals for critical components. Getting a Slack alert within minutes of a restock has saved us from production stoppages twice already. The ROI is incalculable."
"The variant‑level tracking is what sets this apart. We monitor every size and colour of 5,000 products — and get an alert the moment a specific SKU goes out of stock. Our buying team now works with real‑time intelligence."
