Alerts
Alert types, where they surface, and how to act on them.
Alerts are Flowlity's exception-management mechanism. They flag products, orders, or situations that need your attention so you can focus on what matters instead of reviewing everything manually.
Where alerts appear
Alerts surface in several places across the platform:
Analytics — The Alerts section provides a consolidated view of all active alerts, helping you answer "will it be a good or bad week?"
Demand — Filter the product list by alerts to find items with unusual demand patterns.
Planning — Filter by alerts to spot products with projected stockouts or overstock situations.
Supply Orders — Filter orders by alerts to identify orders that may need urgent attention (e.g. late deliveries, constraint violations).
Alert types
Flowlity generates alerts based on different conditions:
Stockout risk — Projected stock drops below the minimum safety stock level.
Overstock — Projected stock exceeds the maximum target, tying up capital.
Demand anomaly — Unusual demand patterns detected by the Demand Anomaly Agent.
Data quality — Issues flagged by the Data Quality Report in Analytics.
Acting on alerts
Alerts are informational — they draw your attention to a product or order but don't change anything automatically. Typical actions include:
Investigate — Open the product detail view in Demand or Planning to understand the root cause.
Adjust — Modify the forecast, buffer policy, or order quantities as needed.
Automate — Create an automation scoped to an alert-filtered view to handle recurring patterns automatically.
Combine alerts with automations to shift from reactive monitoring to proactive exception management.
