What it does
Stock that is late or short costs sales, and often the team finds out last. Marketing runs ads for a product still at sea, support tells buyers the wrong date, and the warehouse is surprised by a container. This skill sets up two records for each purchase order: one in your accounting software that matches payments, and one shared sheet everyone can read. It lists the columns to fill, from PO number to bill of lading, and compares quotes from two or three freight forwarders. It drafts the notice your warehouse needs before arrival, and adds a same-day check for short deliveries. Suppliers report changes in your chat and never edit the sheet. It suits a handful of orders at a time.
You give it
- Purchase orders with SKUs, quantities and PO numbers
- Freight forwarder details and two or three quotes (optional)
- Your warehouse's receiving requirements (optional)
- Who needs to see the tracker, such as marketing, support and finance (optional)
You get
- A tracker layout with the columns to fill
- Update rules and a named owner
- A freight quote comparison
- An advance shipping notice for your warehouse
Use it when
- You have orders from overseas and the team keeps asking where they are.
- A warehouse receipt once came in short and you only found out weeks later.
- You are choosing a freight forwarder and want quotes side by side.
How to use it
- Start a chat with the skill. Open it if you added it to your AI, or copy it and paste it in.
- Paste each purchase order and say whether it ships by sea or air.
- Paste the freight quotes you have, and ask for two or three more.
- Copy the columns into a shared sheet and name one person to update it.
- Send the advance shipping notice to your warehouse before the container lands.
