One build. Then a weekly rhythm that never skips.
Most inventory tools assume you can restock in days. Brands sourcing from real suppliers don’t have that luxury. Their reality is 30 to 120 day lead times, MOQs, and freight in between. So the Engine plans the way your supply chain actually behaves: lead-time first.
Plan from the lead time backwards.
Every recommendation the Engine makes starts from one question: if you don’t act this week, what happens in 60, 90, 120 days? Demand velocity, supplier lead times, MOQs, freight windows, and your cash position all feed one weekly answer: what to order, what to move, what to watch. There’s no black box and no “trust the algorithm” here. Every number in your plan traces to an assumption you can see and challenge.
If your suppliers quote lead times of 30 to 120 days, whether you’re in stock on day 90 is being decided in weeks like this one. The Engine works backwards from that end date, so the order goes out while it still can.
Lead-time aware
Reorder points and safety stock reflect your suppliers’ real, variable lead times, not a default setting.
One inventory position
FBA, 3PL, in-transit, and on-order stock in a single view, so the plan sees what Amazon’s dashboard can’t.
Human judgment, weekly
A team reviews every recommendation before you see it. Software flags; people decide what’s worth your attention.
The System Build.
Before the first weekly plan, we model your business properly, because a plan built on wrong numbers is worse than no plan.
Intake
Your Seller Central reports, 3PL data, supplier list, and open POs. One structured handover: we do the digging, you answer questions.
Modeling
Demand velocity by SKU and channel, supplier lead times and MOQs, seasonality, and your warehouse structure, all built into a live planning workbook.
Walkthrough & sign-off
We walk you through every assumption in the model. You correct what we got wrong. Then, and only then, the weekly rhythm starts.
The weekly Engine cycle.
The same loop, every week, without exception. It’s deliberately boring, and that’s what makes it trustworthy.
Data refresh
Your latest sales, inventory, and in-transit numbers flow into the model. Analysts check the data before they recommend anything from it.
The planning report
Suggested POs (SKU, qty, order-by date), transfer recommendations, and risk flags, with the reasoning behind them, not just the numbers. You get it before your call.
The 30-minute call
Your account lead walks the plan with you. You bring context we can’t see: a promo, a supplier hiccup, a cash constraint. We settle the decisions on the call, not after it.
Execution
On Core, you place the approved orders. On Partner, we do it for you: POs placed, transfers booked, and follow-up handled until goods are checked in.
The watch
Between calls, the model updates with your decisions and the market’s moves. Anything urgent (a spike, a delay, a stockout forming) gets flagged immediately, not next Tuesday.
Built in tools you can open.
Your planning workbook lives in Google Sheets, with the model visible, not locked inside software you’re renting. We work inside your existing stack (Seller Central, Shopify, your 3PL’s portal, ClickUp or Notion if you use them) rather than forcing a migration. If you ever leave, the system stays with you. We think that’s exactly why you won’t.
Your workbook lives in tools you can open. If you ever leave, the system leaves with you.

A 30-minute call. Bring your stock report. We’ll tell you, on the call, which SKUs are at risk in the next 90 days. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so.
