The problem
A stock export cannot tell urgent from slow moving
Buyers sort the BigCommerce inventory export by stock, then look up each product to see whether it sells. Low stock on a slow product can wait, while a fast seller at zero that can still be bought cannot, and the export does not show the difference.
Without PopdockAI
- Sort the inventory export by stock level
- Look up each product's sales separately
- Check visibility and availability by hand
- Reorder slow movers while fast sellers run out
With PopdockAI
- Variants at or below the threshold are found
- Sales, visibility and availability are added for up to 25 products
- Results are ranked by units sold, then lowest stock
- Purchasable zero-stock items are marked urgent, and nothing is changed
The prompt

**Objective:** List product variants with inventory at or below `{threshold}` units (default 10) and say which to reorder first, optionally for brand `{brand-name}`.
**Step 1: Resolve the brand (optional)**
If a brand name was given, call `bigcommerce-get-brand` with `name`; stop if it does not match exactly one brand. Use its id as `brand-id` in Step 2.
**Step 2: Find low variants**
Call `bigcommerce-get-product-variant` with `inventory-level.max` set to the threshold. Note each variant's `inventory-warning` and `purchasing-disabled` values.
**Step 3: Add product context**
For each distinct `product-id` (up to 25), call `bigcommerce-get-product` with `id` set to it (and keep only those whose `brand-id` matches if a brand was given). Read `name`, `visible`, `availability` and `total-sold`.
**Step 4: Rank and report**
Rank by `total-sold` (highest first), then by lowest stock. Table: product, sku, stock, warning level, total sold, visible, purchasing disabled. Mark zero-stock variants still purchasable as urgent, and ignore products that are not visible unless asked.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* This is a read-only job. Never call any `bigcommerce-*-add`, `bigcommerce-*-update` or `bigcommerce-*-delete` tool. Do not suggest that you changed anything.
**Validation:**
* If a read returns no records, say so plainly and stop; do not invent figures.
* If a result hits the maximum records limit, say the figures may be incomplete and name the filter that would narrow it.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Buyers
Reorder the products that sell first
Low stock ranked by units sold tells you where to spend the purchasing budget this week.
Which BigCommerce variants have 5 or fewer units and sell the most? Rank them for reordering.
Inventory planners
Catch zero stock items still on sale
Variants at zero that customers can still buy are marked urgent, so you can act before orders fail.
Show BigCommerce items with zero stock that can still be purchased.
Brand managers
Check stock for one brand quickly
Filter the report to a single brand to see what needs topping up before a promotion.
Which Contoso products in BigCommerce have 20 units or fewer left?
