Inventory Forecasting

Sales history from every channel feeds a forecast per SKU. The system tells you what to reorder, when and how much, and drafts the purchase order.

Features

Every channel in one history

Shopify, Amazon, wholesale and retail sales combined per SKU.

Forecast per SKU

Seasonality, trends and promotions taken into account, with the forecast shown next to actuals.

Reorder points

Calculated from lead time and target stock cover, updated as sales change.

Draft purchase orders

Grouped by supplier, respecting minimums and case packs, ready to approve.

Overstock report

Slow movers and aging stock, so cash is not sitting on shelves.

Ask in plain English

An AI assistant answers questions like “what will run out before Black Friday?”

// FAQ

Common questions

How much history do we need?

A year of sales gives a useful forecast; two years captures seasonality properly. Newer SKUs borrow patterns from similar products.

Will it place orders automatically?

It drafts them. A person approves each purchase order before it is sent.
