How it sells itself

Granary tells you what to reorder, how much, and when, then helps you place and receive the order. Each product gets a forecasting model matched to how it sells, tested on your own sales history so you see its accuracy before you rely on it. Your reorder plan is grouped by supplier with lead times, stockout dates and order quantities.

Merchy helps merchants manage inventory by providing clear insights based on their store data. It analyzes products and sales to show how quickly items are selling and how long current stock will last. The app calculates coverage days for each product, helping merchants understand when stock may run out. It also suggests restock quantities based on recent sales performance, allowing planning of purchase decisions.

Key points
  • See backtested forecast accuracy for every product before you rely on it
  • Forecasts fit each product's pattern, from steady sellers to rare bulk buys
  • Reorder suggestions grouped by supplier with lead times and days of cover
  • A 90 day stockout timeline shows which products need ordering first
  • Inventory coverage tracking
  • Restock recommendations
  • Product performance insights
