Waitlist Functionality

The Waitlist Tables functionality introduces an automated system for managing and displaying product waitlists when items are out of stock or under limited release. This feature captures customer interest directly on product pages and provides visibility to internal teams regarding demand for unavailable items. Whether used for back-ordered inventory, pre-release items, or high-demand SKUs, Waitlist Tables support demand forecasting, sales recovery, and improved customer engagement.

Benefits of Waitlist Tables

Demand Capture and Revenue Recovery

Rather than losing sales when items go out of stock, waitlist tables allow businesses to capture purchase intent and convert interest into actual sales once inventory is replenished. This system effectively retains high-value leads, improving revenue retention and enabling more accurate restocking strategies based on actual demand rather than forecast alone.

Enhanced Customer Engagement and Satisfaction

Offering customers the option to join a waitlist demonstrates commitment to service and responsiveness. Automated notifications make customers feel prioritized and informed, enhancing loyalty. Additionally, capturing user data during this process allows for tailored communication and targeted re-engagement campaigns.

Streamlined Inventory Planning

With a real-time table reflecting customer demand for out-of-stock products, purchasing and planning teams can more effectively allocate future inventory. Waitlist data can inform reorder quantities, highlight high-demand SKUs, and optimize production or procurement efforts, reducing surplus and mitigating lost opportunities due to stock misalignment.
