Sales forecasting and purchasing for multi-store retail.

The same product is in surplus in one store and short in another. Buying for all three without looking at where each unit is is the most expensive way to fix it.

A day in this trade

Every store sells differently
A product’s demand changes by location, neighbourhood and season. An even order for all leaves one short and another overstocked.
Buying what you already have in another store
Without a consolidated view, a shortage in one store gets a new purchase while another has plenty.
Campaigns and seasons
Black Friday, Christmas, back to school: arriving without stock loses the sale, arriving with too much means liquidating.

Which part of StockAI applies

Per-warehouse and consolidated views
Each store or warehouse has its own tab and its own signal; you also see the total.
Transfer before purchase
You define lanes with transit days and cost. If a product is short in one store and surplus in another, StockAI suggests moving it, and only if the lending store keeps at least 30 days of cover.
Promotions and scenarios
In the simulator you mark a promotion, double a category’s demand or delay a supplier, and compare against the current plan without touching anything real.
Commercial calendar
The dates of ten Latin American countries come loaded (paydays, year-end bonuses, Black Friday, Christmas, back to school) and you can edit them.
Scheduled recalculation
Every Monday, daily, on business days or on the first of the month, without anyone launching it by hand.
Sample data

A sample morning

The same product in three stores of an imaginary retailer. A 12-day lead time and a 16-day reorder point in all three.

Sample data, invented to illustrate the rule: not from a customer and not a measured result. Cover is on-hand ÷ sales per day; the reorder point is the lead time plus the safety cushion, in days.

How to read the example

Centro runs out in 2.5 days; Norte has over two months. Before buying, StockAI proposes a transfer from Norte, which after lending still keeps at least 30 days of cover (120 units) and so can give up to 140. Sur is OK and does not lend: it would fall under 30 days.

Worth knowing

  • StockAI is not a point of sale or an e-commerce system: it reads your sales by file, by database or through the API.
  • A new promotion is not in the history: it is tested in the simulator, which is an estimate, not a guarantee.
  • The quantity to transfer is a suggestion; you make the decision and the movement.
