Stock Planner
The Stock Planner studies your real sales history to predict what you'll sell and when. It plans your ordering and production for you, so you keep enough to fill orders reliably without tying up cash in stock you don't need.
The Problem Today
"Mid-sized manufacturers often order on gut feel or simple averages, which leaves them either sitting on cash-draining excess stock or running out and halting production. Old-fashioned forecasting also ignores how long suppliers actually take to deliver."
The Solution You Own
We pull your sales history together automatically, with no manual data work. Then Google's business AI learns your patterns and factors in your seasonal ups and downs, giving you a highly accurate demand forecast for every single product.

Real-World Application
Seasonal Surge Management for Hydraulics
A hydraulics distributor keeps 12,000 different products across three regional warehouses. Simple min-max stock levels fall apart when seasonal demand for farm parts surges. The Stock Planner spots a 3-year pattern: demand for sectional valves jumps 40 days before planting season.
In January, it automatically raises the backup stock levels and places a bulk order with the Italian supplier to allow for the 60-day sea-freight delivery. When the surge hits, the distributor fills its orders on time while competitors are scrambling to pay for rush air freight.

What Changes
What You Get
The system watches your own sales history and flags what to reorder before the shelf is empty.
Carrying what you actually need frees up cash you're currently holding on a shelf.
When you can see demand coming, you order on the normal schedule instead of paying to fly it in.
