Triggers on low stockRanks by job impactRecommends reorders [Deploy this agent](https://calendly.com/jeel-fieldcamp/30min)[Browse all agents →](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-agents/) A real template from the FieldCamp marketplace, configured on your operation. Setup included in your plan. ## About this agent Where it came from Ships in the FieldCamp agent marketplace — because a low-stock list sorted by SKU tells you nothing about which shortage hurts tomorrow. Every inventory system can tell you what's low. Almost none can tell you what matters: five units of something you use monthly is fine; two units of what tomorrow's three installs each need is an emergency wearing a calm face. The difference is the schedule, and stock systems don't read schedules. This planner does. When stock dips below threshold, it cross-references what's booked — which jobs consume that part, how soon, whether the warehouse can cover it — and recommends the reorder order by operational risk. The reorder list stops being alphabetical and starts being honest about consequences. ## What it actually does Trigger: Low inventory threshold 1. 1 Catches the threshold cross`low_inventory` Fires when an item dips below the par level you set per item or per truck. 2. 2 Reads the upcoming schedule`check_scheduled_jobs` Which booked jobs consume this part, and how soon the first one lands. 3. 3 Ranks the operational risk`assess_risk` Blocks-jobs-this-week outranks low-but-idle. Each item gets a why, not just a number. 4. 4 Writes the reorder recommendation`recommend_reorder` What to order first, what can ride to the next cycle, and what the warehouse can cover by transfer. What you get A reorder list ranked by what would actually block work — with the reasoning attached to every line. ## A run, as you’d see it Agent runs land on a timeline — what fired, what the agent found, and the action waiting for a human. This is that screen. Low inventory alert 45/5 capacitors · 2 remaining 90% confidencePending Details Impact 3 AC jobs scheduled this week Summary Two 45/5 capacitors left against three scheduled AC repair visits this week. Warehouse has none. Recommend: priority reorder today — this is the highest-risk shortage in the current list. DismissReview reorderRun log keeps every step Recommends unattended; nothing is ordered. Pairing with purchase-order drafting behind approval is a setup option. ## By trade Same agent, configured to how your vertical actually works. [HVAC](https://fieldcamp.ai/industries/hvac/) Seasonal par levels — capacitor risk in July is not capacitor risk in January. [Appliance repair](https://fieldcamp.ai/industries/appliance-repair/) Job-specific parts rank by the appointment that needs them, not the bin count. ## Questions, answered ### Does it place orders with my supplier? The template recommends; ordering stays human. If you want drafted purchase orders waiting for a morning tap, that's an approval-gated option we can configure — the agent never spends unattended. ### How does it know which jobs use which parts? From your job types and history in FieldCamp — what your market actually consumes per call type. It sharpens as your data does, and you can hard-code must-stock lists. ### We track inventory loosely. Is this still useful? Yes — it works at the precision you have. Coarse par levels still catch the worst shortages; most shops tighten tracking once the recommendations prove out.
