Inventory that reorders itself, receives itself, and tells you where it’s bleeding.
Predictive reorder drafts the PO from how fast each product sells, how reliable each vendor is, and what they actually delivered — it is waiting for you in the morning, pre-filled. Smart receiving matches each incoming manifest to your catalog, so a phone scan is the whole job. Predictive loss reports catch shrink before the monthly count does. Receive, count, par, reorder — one back-of-house, no spreadsheets.
Five things that bleed money in the back-of-house.
Spreadsheets don’t reorder themselves.
If your reorder process is ‘Mike checks the back room every Tuesday,’ you’re leaving money on the floor every Wednesday. Purchase orders draft themselves from how fast each product sells, how reliable each vendor has been, and what they actually delivered last time. The draft is waiting for you in the morning with quantities filled in — you approve or override, you don’t recreate.
Vendor reliability isn’t a vibe — it’s a number.
Every vendor has a fill-rate, an average days-late, and a per-SKU substitution rate. The system tracks them. The auto-PO weighs them. When vendor A fills 92% on time and vendor B fills 67%, the suggestion isn’t ‘ask the owner’ — it’s ‘send to A.’
Receiving in a binder is how short-shipments stay short.
Wholesale orders land before the truck does, and the system matches each incoming manifest line to the right product in your catalog — no hunting, no duplicate products, no hand-keying. Receive from a phone: scan, confirm the match, photo if it’s damaged. A short shipment is flagged at scan time and the dispute goes to the vendor.
You shouldn’t find out about shrink at the monthly count.
Predictive loss reports watch the gap between what should be on the shelf and what scans through — by SKU, by category, by shift. When a line trends toward variance, it surfaces before the count, with the days-and-dollars it’s costing you and the most likely cause: theft pattern, miscount, mis-scan, or sample leakage. Catch the bleed in week one, not at month-end.
Dead stock eats your shelf and your tax basis.
Products that have stopped moving surface on the dead-stock dashboard with vendor-recommended discount tiers + suggested deal SKUs. The 280E tax math runs on every line — you see the unrecoverable cost before you decide whether to discount or write off.
Ten surfaces, one system.
Predictive reorder — drafts the PO for you
Sales velocity, vendor reliability, and what each vendor actually delivered go into the draft. The PO is waiting for you in the morning with quantities filled in. One-click approve, one-click override, logged either way. Most platforms stop at a low-stock alert — this writes the order.
Predictive demand forecast
Per-product demand projected from a year of sales, seasonality, day of week, and active promos — so the reorder anticipates the run, not just the gap. Spot the spike before the shelf goes empty on a Friday.
Predictive loss & shrink reports
Tracks expected-on-hand vs. scanned-through by SKU, category, and shift. Surfaces a trending variance before the monthly count, with the dollars-per-day it’s costing and the likely cause — theft pattern, miscount, mis-scan, or sample leakage.
Smart receiving — matches the manifest for you
Your wholesale orders are already loaded when the delivery arrives. Incoming manifest lines match to the right product in your catalog — no duplicate products, no hand-keying. Scan, confirm, count. A short shipment is flagged at scan time, damaged units get a photo, and the dispute goes to the vendor.
Vendor reliability scoring
Per-vendor fill rate, average days late, substitution rate, dispute count — all on the vendor’s page. Predictive reorder weighs them when it drafts, so unreliable vendors get smaller orders.
Par-level alerting
Per-product par level and safety stock. A manager is alerted when on-hand drops below par, and your fastest movers are watched more closely.
Dead-stock dashboard
Non-movers surface with discount-tier suggestions and the 280E tax-basis math. Decide whether to deal it or write it off — both paths are one click.
VMI portal — vendors fill themselves
Vendors log in to their own portal, see their own velocity, propose POs, upload assets, and see payment status. You approve or override. Replaces the ‘email back and forth’ loop.
Carry-status workflow
Active / probation / discontinued / out-of-spec — per SKU. Predictive reorder respects status. Discontinued lines stop reordering automatically.
Inspection-grade audit log
Every receive, every adjustment, every disposal — actor + reason + before/after delta. When the inspector knocks, it is one lookup, not a reconstruction.
Inventory that works ahead of the count.
