Single-SKU Weekly Restock Alert

Help small merchants make one precise restock decision every week

Inspiration: Quality Service

Large enterprises employ supply-chain analysts to build weekly demand forecasts for each SKU and dynamically adjust safety stock and replenishment cadence to avoid stockouts and overstock.

Why Ordinary People Can't Access It

Small merchants cannot afford professional forecasting software or analysts, do not understand complex inventory formulas, and often rely on intuition—leading to frequent stockouts or dead stock.

AI-Powered Equalizer

Users simply upload or paste historical sales data for one product; AI generates a one-week demand forecast, recommends safety stock level, reorder point, and suggested order quantity, then sends a weekly alert.

Key Features

  • Generate forecasts by uploading an Excel file or pasting sales data
  • Auto-calculate weekly safety-stock level for one SKU
  • Push a restock alert with recommended quantity when reorder point is hit
  • Explain forecast logic in plain language, no statistics required
  • Manage up to 3 SKUs for free, ideal for starting small

Target Users

Small sellers on Taobao, Pinduoduo, Shopify, independent retailers, and small wholesalers

Business Model

Free for up to 3 SKUs per week + monthly unlimited-SKU subscription + revenue share with e-commerce ERP and inventory-management apps
