Ninety days of demand forecast — reorders drafted, never placed.
Stock Planner
Every night at 2, it reads your per-item sales history, forecasts the next 90 days with a confidence range on every figure, and drafts a material request wherever projected stock falls short. Each request stays a draft until purchasing reviews and approves it.
Like every Infinary agent, it drafts — a person on your team approves before anything is posted.
What it does
The Stock Planner reads at least a year of sales history per item where it exists, notes seasonality and trend, and compares forecast demand against current stock, inbound purchase orders, and open material requests. It proposes a safety-stock level from demand variability and supplier lead time, and drafts a material request for every projected shortfall. Every forecast figure carries its assumptions, its confidence range, and the sales documents it came from. An item whose history cannot be read is reported as unknown and no request is drafted for it — unknown is never zero.

The Problem Today
"Ordering on gut feel leaves you either sitting on stock that ties up cash or running out mid-order. And the spreadsheet forecast, when someone finds time for it, is stale by the time it's finished."
How Infinary Handles It
The forecast rebuilds itself every night from what you actually sold, with the uncertainty stated instead of hidden. The reorders it proposes arrive as drafts with the reasoning attached — purchasing stays the buyer.
What a run looks like
What a run looks like
Picture a parts distributor heading into its busy season. The nightly run reads three years of sales and sees the shape it always takes: demand for certain valves climbs weeks before the season proper. It checks stock and inbound orders against that curve and finds a gap — one supplier's lead time is longer than the runway.
By morning there's a drafted material request sized for the shortfall, with the assumptions and confidence range written down beside the sales history that produced them. The planner reads it, trims one line, and approves. The order that goes out is theirs.
How It Works
Step
By Step
Read
It reads each item's sales history, current stock, inbound orders, and open requests.
Analyze
It forecasts 90 days of demand per item — seasonality, trend, and a stated confidence range.
Draft
Where projected stock falls short, it drafts a material request sized for the gap and the lead time.
You approve
Purchasing reviews each draft and decides what actually gets ordered.
What Changes
What You Get
The forecast is rebuilt each night from live sales history — never a stale spreadsheet.
Every figure carries its assumptions and a confidence range; unknowns are named, never zeroed.
It never submits an order — every material request waits for purchasing.
