Spreadsheets, gut feel, and 3-month averages are no match for the complexity of multichannel demand — and the cost of getting it wrong is enormous. Solutions bolted into ERPs are too complex and expensive for most growing merchants.
Stockouts kill revenue
When you run out of your best sellers, customers go elsewhere — and many don't come back. Every stockout is a lost sale you can never recover.
69% of customers go straight to a competitor when you're out of stock¹
Overstock ties up cash
Over-ordering is just as costly. Dead inventory sits in your warehouses eating your working capital while you struggle to fund your next order. And when you have multiple locations, knowing which warehouse has what — and what each one needs — becomes impossible to track manually.
Average merchant has $142,000 tied up in excess inventory — costing 20-30% of its value annually just to hold²
Manual decisions don't scale. ROI on ERP can't be justified.

60% of online brands face stockout situations every single week³
