Low Stock Highlighter

WHAT IT DOES

Low Stock Highlighter is a floating panel that scans the current page for stock and quantity indicators — stock counts, quantities, units available, and inventory levels. It identifies items with low stock based on a configurable threshold and highlights them with a prominent red border and ⚠️ icon. The panel displays a summary showing how many items are low stock and a detailed list of all stock items with their quantities. This helps inventory managers and e-commerce operators quickly identify which products need reordering.

WHERE IT RUNS

This script runs on any website you visit — e-commerce platforms, inventory management systems, warehouse dashboards, ERP systems, or any page with stock or quantity information. It reads only the page you are looking at, never other tabs, bookmarks, or browser data. All data stays in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.

HOW TO USE

Open any page with stock quantities or inventory numbers. Click the Low Stock Highlighter panel button in the BotGentz extension toolbar. The panel appears at the edge of the page. Set your low stock threshold (default 5), then click "Scan Page". Items with stock at or below the threshold are highlighted with a red border and ⚠️ icon. The panel shows a summary and list of all stock items. Use "Toggle Highlights" to show/hide highlights, "Clear Highlights" to remove them, or "Copy Results" to copy the full report to your clipboard.

TECHNICAL MECHANISM

The tool scans the page for quantity patterns using regular expressions that match stock, qty, quantity, in stock, available, units, and count phrases. It also scans table cells and elements for numbers near stock-related keywords. Each quantity is extracted and compared against the low stock threshold. If the quantity is at or below the threshold, the containing element is highlighted with a CSS class that adds a red border and a ⚠️ indicator. The tool deduplicates results to avoid listing the same item multiple times. All operations run client-side in pure JavaScript.

THE PANEL

The panel is a floating overlay that you can drag anywhere on the screen by its header. It remembers its position per site so it reappears where you left it. The panel can be collapsed into a small handle to get it out of the way, and snapped to the edge of the page. It can be resized to fit your workflow. Press Escape to close the panel.

PLEASE NOTE

This script requires the free BotGentz extension to run. All data stays in your browser — nothing is transmitted or shared. The panel works on any website. The low stock threshold is configurable and saved locally. Stock detection works on many common formats but may not catch all variations. The tool scans for numbers near stock keywords — it may misidentify other numbers. Sites change — the script may need updates to match new site structures.
