E-commerce Automation and Optimization - Automated Inventory Restocking Alert

 

Notes:

• Problem: Running out of stock affects sales.

• Benefit: Automatically notifies staff when stock levels are low.

• Adoption: Can be integrated with an e-commerce system to trigger orders automatically.

import smtplib

from email.mime.text import MIMEText

def send_inventory_alert(product_name, current_stock):

    if current_stock < 10:

        subject = f"Low Stock Alert: {product_name}"

        body = f"The stock for {product_name} is running low ({current_stock} left). Please reorder."

        msg = MIMEText(body)

        msg['Subject'] = subject

        msg['From'] = 'your_email@example.com'

        msg['To'] = 'inventory_manager@example.com'

        server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.example.com')

        server.login('your_email@example.com', 'password')
