  • r/FritoLay
  • r/Pepsi
  • r/InventoryManagement
  • r/smallbusiness

Tools they use today

Why those fall short

  • AI ordering ignores store capacity and sales; no way to flag or stop shipments
  • SHCs set by sales team, hard to rework in daily running
  • system doesn't understand shelf capacity, rounds down product, wastes time
  • system thinks shelves must stay jam packed despite lackluster sales
  • lists don't account for pallet stacking order or warehouse allocation
