See every featureStocky is gone. Provido is the replacement for the two things it did that nothing else has: forecasting and purchase orders. It reads twelve months of sales history and forecasts demand for every variant at every location. The maths is deterministic rather than AI, so the same numbers always give the same answer and every reorder shows its working.
Smart Inventory Predictor turns your order history into clear reorder decisions: what to order, how many, and by when, with a plain-English reason for every number. A real Holt-Winters model (not a black box) learns each product's weekly rhythm. Generate purchase orders with order totals and export to CSV. Switching from Stocky? Import your catalog and stock counts in one click before the August 2026 shutdown.
