Agent

Meet Your Inventory Agent

Forecasts demand. Generates POs. Prevents stockouts.

The execution layer of your supply chain — without the spreadsheets, the missed reorders, or the capital stuck in slow movers.

01 — Responsibilities

What It Does

SKU-level demand forecasting

Predicts future sales velocity per SKU using 12+ months of order history, seasonality signals, and recent velocity shifts. Updates nightly.

Days of Cover monitoring

Calculates how many days of stock you have left at current velocity. Triggers restock alerts at your defined threshold with lead time already factored in.

Supplier lead time intelligence

Learns actual supplier lead times from historical PO data — not what the supplier promised. Adjusts reorder points accordingly.

PO drafting

Generates purchase order drafts with recommended quantities. Factors in lead time variance, seasonality, and open POs already in transit.

Stockout probability scoring

Runs OOS risk models on every SKU continuously. Escalates A-tier SKUs at risk of stocking out within 30 days for immediate action.

Fee audit across 7 categories

Monthly storage, long-term storage (271+ days), FBA fulfillment, removal, placement, utilization surcharges, low-inventory fees — audited continuously with financial impact.

Overbuy risk assessment

Flags SKUs where projected inventory exceeds demand curves. Prevents capital from getting tied up in slow-moving stock.

Liquidation recommendations

Drafts removal orders, repricing strategies, and liquidation plans for aged inventory with projected financial impact of each option.

02 — Replacement

What It Replaces

These are the human roles and monthly tasks this agent eliminates. You keep the strategic layer. The execution layer becomes code.

03 — Workflow

How It Works

01

Ingest 12 months of order and inventory data

On connection, the agent pulls historical orders, current FBA inventory, inbound shipments, and your supplier lead time history.

02

Build per-SKU velocity models

Forecasts weekly sales velocity per SKU, accounting for seasonality, promotional spikes, and recent trend shifts. Updates every night.

03

Monitor Days of Cover continuously

Every SKU is scored daily for stockout risk. Lead time variance is factored in — a 21-day lead time with historical variance of ±5 days triggers earlier alerts on volatile SKUs.

04

Draft POs and liquidation plans

When restock thresholds fire, the agent drafts a PO with recommended quantity. When overbuy risk fires, it drafts a removal plan with cost comparison (dispose vs. liquidate vs. hold).

05

Escalate for approval

Every PO and removal recommendation is queued for your review with projected financial impact. One-click approve, edit, or reject.

04 — Output

Real Output Examples
