Think about how many variables your business deals with every day - labour costs, materials, travel time, size, area, equipment, tax, discounts, and profit margins.
How do you handle it?

The problem - reorder math built for one PO, applied to brands running three.
Most inventory tools assume a single lead time per SKU, order, wait, restock, repeat. That assumption holds at low volume. It stops holding once a brand is doing real revenue, running ad spend hard enough that purchase orders overlap: one batch landing on the 12th, another placed three weeks earlier landing on the 30th, sell-through shifting week to week depending on which SKUs the ads are currently pushing.
Standard days-of-cover math can't see that. It has no concept of multiple open POs each running their own countdown, or of a bestseller and a slow mover sitting in the same product line with completely different runway.
I build inventory systems for Shopify DTC brands specifically around this gap, batch-and-lead-time-aware reorder logic, velocity-weighted stockout alerts, and dead stock classification, so the founder gets a clear "order X units of Y now" instead of an abstract dashboard number they still have to interpret themselves.
If your brand has more than one purchase order open at a time and you're still working off a single blended lead time, that's the exact problem I solve.
🚀 What repetitive task is wasting the most time in your business?
Most businesses still spend hours every week on things that should happen automatically.
Imagine if this happened without you touching a thing:
✅ New lead → CRM
✅ AI qualifies the lead
✅ Follow-up email sent automatically
✅ Slack notification to your team
✅ Customer data stored in Google Sheets or Airtable
No copy-paste.
No missed follow-ups.
No manual work.
I'm building custom AI business automations that help founders and agencies save 20+ hours every week.
If you have a workflow that's repetitive, send me a message. I'll tell you whether it can be automated—and if it can, I'll build it.
