I quit my job about 10 months ago to build a tool that solves something I kept seeing hurt product businesses over and over. The inventory ordering problem. You know the one. You run out of your best stuff right when people want it most. Your warehouse is full of things that won’t move. You spend hours every week guessing.

I’ve been heads down building. No marketing. No announcements. Just building.

A few weeks ago I let 4 people start using it. Real businesses. Real data. And honestly their feedback has been humbling. They’ve found bugs I’m embarrassed about. They’ve told me things work great that I thought would be messy. It’s been exactly what I needed.

I need 6 more.

Not to sell anything. Not to build a case study. Genuinely just because more diverse businesses using it will make it significantly better before I do anything else with it.

The only ask is 30 minutes every couple of weeks to tell me honestly what’s working and what isn’t. That’s it. Free for 45 days. No strings.

If you sell physical products in the US, use Shopify or WooCommerce or Amazon or Walmart or similar, and inventory decisions eat up your time or your margin every week - I’d love to hear from you.

No pressure. Happy to answer questions first if that helps.

Not sure if this is just us but our inventory ordering feels like a coin flip most weeks.

We sell physical products, around 200 different items. Every week someone on the team has to figure out what to reorder. We look at the numbers, make our best guess, and hope we got it roughly right.

Sometimes we nail it. Most times we either have too much of the slow stuff or not enough of the fast stuff. Occasionally both at the same time which is a special kind of frustrating.

Had a chat with another founder last week who said the exact same thing. Made me realise this might just be a really common problem that nobody talks about openly.

How are you guys actually handling it at your businesses? Be honest, are you mostly guessing too?
