Stock-and-demand sanity layer against seasonality
Stock planning runs on one person's memory and a stale spreadsheet against a festival or seasonal calendar, so the business over-stocks slow lines, runs short on fast ones, and cannot see the working capital trapped in either until it hurts; for dated goods, over-ordering becomes a near-expiry write-off.
Who has it
FMCG distributors and general wholesalers with festival and seasonal demand swings, industrial and B2B distributors with a project-driven and slow-moving range, and pharma distributors planning demand against shelf life.
What we build
A read-only layer over the order book, secondary-sales history and the seasonal/festival calendar that shows demand patterns, forecast-vs-actual gaps, slow-moving and near-expiry stock, stock-out risk on the best lines, and the working capital tied up in each, so the planner decides with the picture in front of them.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
Where AI helps
AI is limited to bounded reading, extraction, matching, clustering or drafting from the firm's own data for Stock-and-demand sanity layer against seasonality; it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
Stock and reorder meetings start from a shared, current picture against the season instead of an argument; slow stock and stock-out risk surface early; working capital tied in stock comes down.
Illustrative outcome
Lower working capital tied in stock; fewer stock-outs of the best lines. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
