Our team has been trying to improve how we predict customer needs and avoid problems when inventory information isn't clear during sales discussions.

r/AI_Sales on Reddit

Just replaced an overpriced, terribly functioning and poorly supported forecasting and demand SaaS service with my own app I was able to put together in a few months in my spare time, no dev team needed.

r/Netsuite on Reddit

your kids crafts aisles are empty (scan everyday for outs) but we have 10k in machines siting in lock up

r/MichaelsEmployees on Reddit

Business dies every single January and after five years I still haven't figured out how to plan for it.

Why those fall short

  • algorithm numbers conflict with on-hand needs; manual guesses over or under pull
  • RF gun ignores real demand and pushes overproduction, causing shrink
  • projected get-well dates come and go with no impact on empty shelves
  • orders show up randomly, can't forecast or plan
  • Sale trained customers to wait; buffer doesn't fix boredom or dread
