AI inventory optimization engine · EOQ, safety stock & ABC/XYZ

Free the cash trapped in inventory — without the stockouts.

Feed StockIQ your product mix, on-hand levels, lead times, and demand history. The AI right-sizes every reorder point and safety stock, flags overstock and stockout risk, optimizes material nesting, and projects exactly how much cash you can release.

Inventory optimizer

Optimize this catalog

Set your product mix, on-hand value, lead times, and demand on the left. The engine runs real inventory math — EOQ, safety stock under lead-time variability, dynamic reorder points, and ABC/XYZ classification — and returns a complete right-sizing plan with the cash it frees.

Set your inventory parameters and generate a plan.

📊 AI recommendations — what to right-size

Ranked by cash & cost impact. These are the inventory moves the engine found in your mix, lead times, and demand variability.

📈 Demand forecast — history & AI projection

Monthly aggregate demand (units) over the trailing year and the AI's six-month forecast with its confidence band. The forecast drives every reorder point and safety-stock figure below.

🧮 Inventory value by class

Optimized on-hand value split across ABC classes.

🔢 ABC classification — Pareto

SKUs ranked by annual dollar usage, with cumulative share.

📋 Stock levels — on-hand vs optimized vs reorder point

Top SKUs by value. Tall on-hand bars above the optimized target are tied-up cash; bars below the reorder point are stockout risk.

✄ Material nesting optimizer

Enter your raw sheet size and the part you cut. The AI lays out the densest nest and prices the scrap you're leaving on the table.

📋 SKU reorder plan — baseline vs optimized

Per-SKU right-sizing for the highest-value items: reorder point, safety stock, EOQ, and on-hand status.
SKUClassOn-handTodayTargetAIROPSafetyEOQStatus

Estimates use standard inventory-science models — economic order quantity (EOQ), safety stock from the √(lead-time · demand-variance) convolution at the chosen service-level Z, dynamic reorder points, and ABC/XYZ classification by dollar usage and demand CV. Validate against your ERP demand history and supplier MOQs before committing to PO changes.

Capabilities

More than an inventory report

A catalog-aware optimizer that thinks like your best planner — and never misses a reorder point.

🎯

Reorder point & EOQ engine

Computes the economic order quantity and dynamic reorder point for every SKU, balancing ordering cost against carrying cost to the unit.

📐

Safety stock optimizer

Sizes safety stock from combined lead-time and demand variability at your target service level — not a flat days-of-supply rule.

📈

Demand forecasting

Projects demand with trend and seasonality, and feeds the forecast straight into reorder math with a visible confidence band.

🔢

ABC / XYZ classification

Segments the catalog by dollar usage and demand volatility so policy effort lands on the SKUs that actually move the bill.

Material nesting optimizer

Lays out the densest cutting nest for your sheet and part geometry, then prices the scrap and raw material it recovers.

💲

Cash & carrying-cost release

Quantifies overstock, stockout risk, and WIP, and projects the working capital freed by right-sizing the whole catalog.

Under the hood

From ERP extract to a plan

Real inventory science, wrapped in a one-click workflow.

01 / INPUT

Describe the catalog

SKU count, unit cost, annual demand, on-hand value, lead times, order cost, and the variability you live with.

02 / FORECAST

Project the demand

Trend and seasonality models build a per-SKU forecast with a confidence band that drives the reorder math.

03 / OPTIMIZE

Right-size every policy

EOQ, safety stock, and reorder points are recomputed against service-level targets and supplier constraints.

04 / DELIVER

Get the plan

A ranked set of moves with cash freed, carrying cost saved, ABC/XYZ tiers, and a per-SKU reorder table.
