Inventory & pricing

Why this matters for your business

Two related decisions every store makes weekly: what to restock and what to charge for it. Get inventory wrong and you stock-out (lost sales) or over-stock (tied-up cash + discount-to-clear). Get pricing wrong and you leave margin on the table or lose to competitors.

Inventory & pricing handles both with data. 30-day demand forecasts per SKU based on actual sales velocity + seasonality. Price recommendations from competitor scraping + margin analysis. Per-product profit visibility (revenue − COGS − fees − fulfillment).

What this typically unlocks

Stock-out incidents−60-80% with forecast-driven reordering
Overstock (excess inventory tied-up)−25-40%
Margin lift from price optimization+8-15%
Time on inventory planning−70%
