Restock Sentinel: Single-SKU Stockout Alert
Pack professional supply-chain forecasting into one simple alert tool for small sellers
Inspiration: Quality Service
Traditionally, companies hire dedicated supply chain analysts who review weekly sales fluctuations for each SKU, dynamically setting safety stock levels and replenishment cadence to avoid both stockouts and overstock.
Why Ordinary People Can't Access It
Small sellers and multi-platform shop owners can't afford dedicated analysts and can't operate complex forecasting models. They stock by gut feeling—leading to stockouts on hot items and cash tied up in slow movers. Data scattered across platforms makes it hard to calculate how many days a single SKU will last.
AI-Powered Equalizer
Users simply upload a sales history file for one SKU or connect their shop data. AI detects sales patterns and growth trends, calculates the estimated stockout date, pushes alerts before safety stock is breached, and recommends replenishment quantities—setup takes under 5 minutes.
Key Features
- Auto-detects sales trends for a single SKU from an upload or shop connection
- Shows a live 'days until stockout' countdown
- Recommends replenishment quantity based on current sales velocity
- Pushes mobile alerts when stock falls below safety level
- Detects sudden demand spikes from promotions and seasonality
Target Users
Taobao/Pinduoduo/Douyin shop owners, cross-border e-commerce sellers, small brand operators
