- Respond Promptly and Professionally:
- Provide clear, informative, and courteous responses to inquiries within the expected time frame (e.g., within 2โ4 hours or same business day).
- If an item is out of stock, clearly explain the status and offer alternatives, expected restock dates, or pre-order options where applicable.

- Relay critical stock updates to sales or customer service teams to ensure consistent messaging across departments.
- Maintain a Knowledge Base of Frequently Requested Items:

- Use this knowledge to anticipate common queries and prepare pre-approved responses or quick reference guides for faster handling.
- Log and Track Inquiries and Responses:
- Maintain a record of stock-related inquiries, including the requestor, date/time, item in question, and the response provided.
- Use this data to identify trends in demand, recurring stock issues, or communication gaps that require process improvements.
- Escalate Urgent or Complex Cases:
- Promptly escalate high-priority or complex stock issues (e.g., large corporate orders, critical out-of-stock items, or system discrepancies) to the relevant manager or department head.
- Follow up on escalated cases to ensure they are resolved and communicated back to the inquirer.
- Support Inventory Planning Through Feedback:
- Share inquiry trends with inventory and procurement teams to inform restocking decisions and product forecasting.
- Highlight frequently requested items that are often unavailable, suggesting adjustments to minimum stock levels or reorder frequencies.
