Weekly Safety Stock Advisor for Small Sellers

Bring enterprise-level demand forecasting to small shops as a weekly replenishment reminder

Inspiration: Quality Service

In traditional enterprise supply chain management, professional analysts forecast weekly sales fluctuations for individual products, dynamically set safety stock levels, and plan replenishment timing to avoid stockouts and overstock.

Why Ordinary People Can't Access It

Small sellers lack dedicated supply chain analysts and don't know how to use forecasting models. They guess when restocking, leading to frequent stockouts or cash tied up in dead inventory. Hiring consultants or buying heavy ERP systems is costly and hard to adopt.

AI-Powered Equalizer

Users simply upload their sales spreadsheet, and AI analyzes historical fluctuations and trends to output a next-week sales range and one clear recommended safety stock number for the selected product, with a weekly alert pushed automatically.

Key Features

  • Upload 12 weeks of sales data to auto-generate a next-week forecast range
  • Delivers one explicit safety stock number—no statistics knowledge needed
  • Enter current inventory for red/yellow/green stockout or overstock alerts
  • Automatic Monday push with next week's forecast and restock advice
  • Direct Excel/spreadsheet import—results in 5 minutes

Target Users

Small e-commerce sellers, local shop owners, micro-merchants, early-stage brand operators

Business Model

Free first month per product + monthly subscription by product count + team plan for multi-store sellers
