Independent inventory planning for growing commerce brands
Shopify inventory brands

Inventory,
properly planned.

A weekly outsourced demand-planning function for growing ecommerce brands with physical, replenishable products.

The weekly brief

One plan.
Every SKU.
Every week.

01

Clean inputs

Operational gaps are identified before they become purchasing mistakes.

02

Plan every SKU

Forecast, inventory position, reorder decision, and risk classification.

03

Approve the POs

Supplier-ready recommendations, with final authority retained by your team.

The forecasting engine

Built on the demand-planning literature, not a black box.

Every SKU is forecast by testing, not asserting, which method fits its history — and only switching from the simple baseline when the evidence clears a statistical bar.

24 methods

Candidate forecasting methods per SKU, from Croston's method for intermittent demand to the Theta method that won the M3 forecasting competition.

Bonferroni-corrected

A challenger method only replaces the baseline when a Diebold-Mariano significance test says the improvement isn't backtest noise.

Statistical selection

52- & 104-week

History thresholds that activate seasonal-naive models for monthly, quarterly and annual demand cycles.

Seasonality

A newer SKU without a full year of history is not yet modeled for seasonality — there isn't enough data to validate it, and the engine reports that honestly rather than guessing.

Weekly planning, month to month

Built for replenishment

Products people buy, stock and reorder.

The common requirement is not one specific industry. It is a stable SKU, physical inventory, supplier lead time and repeatable demand.

Beauty & personal care

Skincare, haircare, bath, grooming and beauty accessories.

Home & fragrance

Candles, diffusers, cleaning tools and replenishable household goods.

Pet products

Grooming, toys, accessories and other nonperishable pet goods.

Stationery & craft

Paper goods, art materials, hobby supplies and packaged kits.

Everyday accessories

Bags, organizers, travel goods and simple product accessories.

Specialty consumables

Shelf-stable, nonregulated products without complex expiry planning.

Not yet designed for fashion size curves, perishables, supplements, furniture, made-to-order goods, dropshipping or marketplace-only operations.

The capital problem

Every SKU competes for the same cash.

Too little inventory leaves demand unfilled. Too much commits capital to products that keep costing money while they wait to sell.

15–25%

Common annual carrying-cost rule of thumb, measured against inventory value.

ASCM

≈3%

Revenue improvement associated with fewer stockouts in a broad supply-chain analytics benchmark.

McKinsey

10%

Potential working-capital reduction reported in the same broad benchmark.

McKinsey

Industry benchmarks describe broad observations, not promised client results. The paid pilot measures the opportunity using each brand's own demand, margins, inventory and supplier constraints.

“Know what to order, when to order it, and what it will cost.”
