AI Demand Forecasting
Projects unit demand per SKU and location from sales history, seasonality, promotions and calendar events.
Buy for the demand that is coming, not the demand you had last month.
Inventory intelligence · Early access 2026
StockSentry reads your sales history, purchase orders, seasonality and supplier delivery records, then tells your team what will run out, what to reorder, how much, and which stock movements look wrong.

The problem
Sales sit in the POS, purchase orders in email, supplier invoices on paper and counts in a spreadsheet. Inventory managers make reorder calls from memory, and the cost shows up as empty shelves, lost sales, emergency freight and write-offs.
How StockSentry fixes it
One model of your inventory that combines demand, lead time and supplier reliability per SKU and location, and recalculates as new sales and deliveries arrive.
Min/max levels are set once and rarely revisited, so they miss festive peaks, school terms, price changes and promotions.
A supplier quoted seven days now takes eleven. Nobody notices until the shelf is empty and the next truck is days out.
Shrinkage, short deliveries and keying errors surface months later, after the money is gone and the trail is cold.
Fear of stockouts leads to padded orders: slow movers sit in the warehouse and pharmaceuticals approach expiry.
Core capabilities
Projects unit demand per SKU and location from sales history, seasonality, promotions and calendar events.
Buy for the demand that is coming, not the demand you had last month.
Converts forecasts, current stock and lead time into an order date and quantity for each product.
Buyers approve a ranked list instead of building orders from scratch.
Estimates the day each item runs out and compares it with the next replenishment window.
See empty shelves days before they happen.
Scores suppliers on on-time delivery, fill rate and lead-time variance from your purchase records.
Plan safety stock around how suppliers actually behave.
Flags count shortfalls, unusual adjustments, received-quantity mismatches and sales spikes outside the normal pattern.
Investigate losses while the evidence is still fresh.
Reads supplier invoices and receipts and turns line items into structured purchase data.
Feeds supplier and receiving checks without manual data entry.
How it works
Upload sales and stock exports, purchase orders and supplier invoices, or connect POS and ERP data through the API.
Records are normalised to SKUs, locations and suppliers. Invoices are read and matched to receipts.
Demand, lead time and supplier reliability are modelled per item, then compared against stock on hand.
Stockout dates, reorder quantities and anomaly alerts appear in one prioritised workspace.
Buyers accept, edit or dismiss suggestions. Every decision feeds back into the next forecast.

Technology
StockSentry's proposed AWS architecture keeps the full inventory pipeline in one serverless environment: raw sales exports and supplier invoices land in Amazon S3, Amazon Textract reads purchasing documents, AWS Lambda runs scheduled forecasting and reconciliation jobs, Amazon DynamoDB holds live stock and forecast records, Amazon Bedrock turns model outputs into plain-language recommendations, and Amazon API Gateway exposes everything to the web app and to customer POS and ERP integrations.

Receives file uploads and POS/ERP data through authenticated API endpoints.
Amazon S3
