Single-SKU Safety Stock Advisor

Upload your sales sheet, get a safety stock level and restock rhythm in one minute

Inspiration: Quality Service

In traditional supply chain consulting, professional planners analyze each product's sales history, seasonal swings, and lead times to dynamically set safety stock levels and replenishment cadence.

Why Ordinary People Can't Access It

Hiring supply chain consultants is costly, unaffordable for small businesses and shop owners; demand forecasting requires statistical and modeling expertise beyond most people; manual analysis is repetitive and time-consuming, so most small sellers simply guess when reordering—leading to constant stockouts or overstock.

AI-Powered Equalizer

Key Features

  • Upload an Excel/CSV sales sheet, get a recommendation in one minute
  • Automatically detects seasonality and promotion-driven demand swings
  • Provides next restock date and suggested reorder quantity
  • Explains the reasoning in plain, everyday language
  • Recalculates weekly and pushes updated recommendations
