I developed an Excel-based inventory management solution to organize product records, monitor stock levels, and simplify inventory tracking. The system helps users maintain structured data, review stock information, and improve day-to-day inventory management through spreadsheet automation and clear reporting.

Created a professional Excel spreadsheet for data entry, data cleaning, formatting, calculations, and sales analysis. The project includes a structured order database, cleaned and standardized data, formulas, summary reports, and visual charts for easy data analysis.
This project tackles a real small-business pain point: inventory silently running out because no one's tracking stock in real time.
Order processing (webhook-triggered): Incoming orders (supporting multiple items per order) are received via webhook, split into individual line items, and logged — each order simply appends a new entry to an order log rather than directly overwriting stock numbers.
Live stock calculation: Current stock for each item is computed on the fly, using a formula that subtracts all logged order quantities from the starting count.
Daily stock monitoring (schedule-triggered): A separate scheduled trigger runs once a day, checks every item's live stock against its own custom reorder threshold, and sends a Slack alert for anything running low — so restocking happens before customers ever notice a shortage.
The daily trigger that checks each item's live stock against its own reorder threshold and then pushes a Slack alert seems like a practical way to stay ahead of stockouts.
I created this Excel-based inventory management system to help businesses track stock levels, identify reorder needs, and monitor inventory health in one place. The dashboard automatically organizes inventory by status, calculates reorder quantities, highlights critical items, and provides key metrics for faster decision-making. This sample project demonstrates my ability to turn operational data into a practical, easy-to-use management tool.
