Inventory & suppliers
Plan inventory without over- or under-buying
Overstock traps cash; stockouts lose sales and rank. Forecast from real sell-through, set a reorder point per SKU, and hold a safety buffer sized to lead time.
Inventory is a cash and demand balancing act: too much traps money in unsold stock, too little loses sales and (on marketplaces) ranking. The method is forecasting from real sell-through, a reorder point per SKU built on lead time, and a safety buffer for variability. AI does the math from your numbers; it never invents your sales or lead times.
Too much inventory traps cash; too little loses sales and rank. The fix is forecasting from real sell-through plus a reorder point per SKU sized to lead time.
AI can compute reorder points and flag over/under-stock from your numbers. You supply real sales rates and supplier lead times, because AI can't know them.
