Forecasting & inventoryFor DTC, Marketplace sellers

Automate replenishment and purchase orders

Generate purchase orders from AI forecasts and lead times instead of spreadsheets.

The problem

Growing brands often run reorders from a spreadsheet that one person understands. It breaks when SKUs, channels or suppliers multiply.

How AI helps

Inventory planning tools combine forecasts, lead times, MOQs and stock on hand to recommend what to order and when, and create POs for approval.

How to roll it out

  1. 1

    Load supplier lead times, MOQs and pack sizes.

  2. 2

    Set service-level targets by SKU class (A items higher).

  3. 3

    Review AI-recommended POs weekly and approve.

  4. 4

    Track stock-outs, overstock and cash tied up in inventory.
