This agent ingests historical sales data, current inventory, purchase orders, and channel-level metrics. It builds per-SKU demand forecasting models using gradient-boosted time-series methods accounting for seasonality, promotional calendars, day-of-week patterns, and trend shifts. Forecasts update daily.
Based on forecasts, it calculates optimal reorder points and quantities per SKU per warehouse, factoring in supplier lead times, minimum order quantities, and carrying costs. When a reorder trigger fires, it generates a PO draft for approval or auto-submits to pre-approved suppliers.
For multi-channel allocation, it monitors inventory across Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, and wholesale in real time. When a fast-mover trends toward stockout on one channel, it recommends inter-warehouse transfers before impact.
