User Instructions

How to Use This Template (Office Use Best Practices)

Update Inventory Daily: Warehouse staff must enter new shipments or sales into the "Inventory Master" sheet using a standardized form.
Prioritize Content Planning: Marketing team must select SKUs from the dropdown (data validation) in the "Content Calendar" to ensure alignment.
Review Sync Dashboard Weekly: The dashboard auto-updates and shows % of content aligned with adequate inventory. Target ≥90% alignment.
Respond to Alerts: Any "Low Stock" or "Critical" tag in the Content Calendar triggers an immediate meeting between marketing and logistics.
Use Historical Trends: Analyze which products consistently sell out after content campaigns — adjust future safety stock levels accordingly.

Note: Never publish content for a product marked "Critical" unless a restock is confirmed within 24 hours. This template prevents reputational damage and customer disappointment.
