Inventory that reorders itself

Fjord Supply Co. managed inventory for more than 4,000 SKUs with a Friday-afternoon ritual: export the stock report, forecast demand in a spreadsheet, and email purchase orders to suppliers. It worked — until demand shifted mid-week, and it quietly cost them in dead stock and emergency orders.

We replaced the ritual with a forecasting pipeline that runs daily. It blends sales velocity, seasonality, and supplier lead times to compute reorder points per SKU, then drafts purchase orders and sends them for one-click approval. Routine reorders below a value threshold go out automatically; buyers only see the exceptions.

Stock accuracy now holds at 99.2%, dead stock is down 18%, and the Friday forecast meeting no longer exists. The purchasing team spends its time negotiating with suppliers instead of maintaining the spreadsheet that used to negotiate with them.
