When used on Pipedream, you can merge Orca Scan functionalities with countless other apps, creating custom automation rules, processing data, and managing inventory in real-time. Ideal for inventory management, asset tracking, and data collection automation, the Orca Scan API is a tool that can adapt to a myriad of business needs.

Automate Inventory Updates: Use the Orca Scan API to update inventory counts in a Google Sheet every time a new item is scanned. This workflow ensures real-time inventory tracking without manual data entry.
Sync with CRM Systems: After scanning items using Orca Scan, trigger a workflow on Pipedream to create or update records in a CRM like Salesforce or HubSpot. This keeps customer-related inventory data up-to-date.
Alerts for Low Stock: Set up a workflow that monitors inventory levels using the Orca Scan API. When stock for certain items drops below a specified threshold, trigger an alert via email or a messaging app like Slack to prompt restocking.
