What is the Low Stock Report?
The Low Stock report in Ply helps you stay ahead of inventory shortages by identifying materials and consumables that have reached low, minimum, or zero stock levels across your locations. It gives you a visual overview of stock trends and a detailed list of current amounts so you can take action before running out.
