The system automatically tracks purchase dates and expiration windows for each SKU, triggering reminder sequences at optimal intervals (e.g., 30, 14, and 7 days before expiration). For example, send an email reminder two weeks before vitamins are set to expire, followed by SMS alerts and mobile notifications with personalized restock suggestions and related product recommendations to increase basket size. Perfect for beauty products with 12-month shelf lives, vitamins with expiration dates, or perishable foods. Customers receive the right reminder at the right time, reducing waste while driving repeat purchases through contextually relevant engagement.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Key features<\/b>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li
