See every featureInventoryLoop turns sales history and current stock into explainable reorder suggestions. Out-of-stock days are excluded from sales velocity, and every recommendation shows its reasoning. Create purchase orders per supplier as PDFs or send them by email. Record partial receipts; landed costs are allocated across items and stock is written back to Shopify.
Proviand reads your sales history and suggests what to reorder, when, and in what quantity. Every suggestion explains itself: sales velocity, seasonality, supplier lead time, and safety stock.
