Predict Demand Before You Run Out
Reduce stockouts and overstock with AI that forecasts demand across your entire catalog with unprecedented accuracy
E-commerce retailers balance the constant tension between stockouts that lose sales and overstock that ties up capital. Traditional forecasting methods struggle with seasonality, promotions, and the long tail of SKUs that make up modern catalogs.
The Problem
Your inventory team relies on spreadsheets and gut instinct to predict demand, leading to frequent stockouts on bestsellers and warehouses full of slow-moving inventory that erodes margins.
Stockouts Lose Revenue
Popular items go out of stock during peak demand, sending customers to competitors and damaging marketplace rankings.
Overstock Ties Up Capital
Conservative ordering leads to excess inventory that requires discounting, storage costs, and eventually write-offs.
Complex Demand Patterns
Seasonality, promotions, trends, and cannibalization effects make manual forecasting inaccurate for catalogs with hundreds or thousands of SKUs.
How OpenClaw Solves This
OpenClaw analyzes historical sales, seasonality, promotion impact, external trends, and product relationships to generate SKU-level demand forecasts that optimize inventory investment while minimizing stockout risk.

SKU Relationship Modeling
