After creating a summary of what the team has, Sophie suggested further needs:
Subject: Inventory Check. Let's Plan for What We Need
Hi team,
I've reviewed our current software tools and wanted to share a quick update, along with a few things we might need to plan for:
Licenses: We have 50 total (30 used by the design team). They're saved in the central server's "Licensed Software" folder and the "Backup Licenses" section in the cloud. We may need extra licenses soon if more team members join or switch tools.
Graphic Tablets: We currently have 15 (10 in the storage room, 5 in the workshop). It might be helpful to have 1-2 extra tablets as backups, in case of damage or increased use.
Design Software: Updates are still pending for 5 main tools. These should be installed by next week. Last month, the team used the platform around 60 hours a week, peaking at 80. If this usage continues to grow, we might need to check if the tools are running smoothly or need upgrades.
Please let me know if you've noticed any shortages or if there's anything specific your team needs soon. I'll use your feedback to prepare our next steps.
Best,
Sophie
Why does Sophie suggest getting 1-2 extra tablets?
As backups in case of damage or increased use.
To replace all old tablets immediately.
There's no mention of replacing all tablets.
Because the workshop lost several tablets.
No tablets are reported missing; she is planning ahead.
For a new team that is starting next month.
She does not mention any new team, just the potential increase in use.

Focus on the Graphic Tablets section.
Sophie recommends having 1-2 extra tablets as backups in case of damage or rising usage. This is a preventive step to avoid delays if equipment fails or demand increases.
