Never Run Out of Best-Sellers

Never Run Out of Best-Sellers is U2xAI's intelligent demand forecasting system that predicts stockouts 2-4 weeks before they happen. It monitors your sales data 24/7, detects demand spikes, and tells you exactly when and how much to reorder—so you never lose a sale.

Think of it as a supply chain expert watching every product, knowing which items drive revenue, when demand will spike, and exactly when you'll run out if you don't reorder now.

The Problem It Solves

Your best-selling items drive 60-80% of revenue. When they're out of stock, customers go to competitors. Manual forecasting can't predict demand spikes accurately, and by the time you realize you're running low, it's too late.

The Cost:

• Lost revenue: $5K-$15K/month from stockouts

• Emergency rush orders at premium prices

• Customer frustration and lost loyalty

• Hours wasted on manual forecasting

How It Works

1. Continuous Pattern Analysis

U2xAI analyzes your POS and inventory data to understand sales velocity, day-of-week patterns, seasonal trends, event impacts, and promotional effects.

2. Predictive Forecasting

The AI predicts demand 7, 30, and 90 days ahead. It automatically detects upcoming holidays and events that historically drive demand spikes.

3. Stockout Prediction

U2xAI calculates exactly when you'll run out by combining current inventory, predicted sales velocity, supplier lead times, and safety stock requirements.

4. Proactive Alerts

Get alerts 2-4 weeks before stockouts. No more reacting—plan ahead.

5. Optimal Order Recommendations

U2xAI tells you exactly how much to order, accounting for predicted demand, safety stock, and forecast variance.

6. Continuous Learning

The AI compares predictions to actual sales daily and improves accuracy over time—from 92% to 99%.

Industries: Retail stores, e-commerce, beverage distributors, specialty food, hardware, sporting goods—any business where stockouts mean lost revenue.

Case Study: Mike's Liquor & Wine

The Challenge

Mike runs 3 liquor stores with 2,500+ SKUs. His top 50 SKUs drive 60% of revenue, but stockouts were costing him $8,000-$12,000/month. He relied on Excel and gut feel for ordering.

Problems:

• Tito's Vodka: Out of stock 3 weekends/month

• White Claw: Summer stockouts costing thousands

• Emergency orders at premium prices

• Managers spending 10+ hours/week on inventory

The Old Way (Without U2xAI)

Mike's managers checked weekend sales Monday, compared to historical data Tuesday, ordered based on gut feel Wednesday. Orders arrived Thursday. Then Friday-Sunday sales spiked 40% higher than predicted. Sunday night: out of stock on 8 bestsellers.

Next week they overcompensated, ordered 2x, and ended up with excess inventory. The cycle repeated endlessly.

How U2xAI Fixed It

Step 1: Data Connection (5 minutes)

Mike connected U2xAI to his POS and inventory systems. U2xAI ingested historical sales, mapped products across 3 locations, and identified current stock levels.

Step 2: AI Learning (24 hours, automatic)

U2xAI analyzed patterns:

• Tito's Vodka: 45 units/week average, 72 units on holiday weekends

• 65% of weekly sales happen Friday-Sunday

• Summer months: +22% demand

• Holiday weekends: +55% spike

Output:

Product: Tito's Vodka 1.75L
Current Stock: 28 units
Next Week Prediction: 68 units (holiday weekend)
Lead Time: 3 days
STATUS: STOCKOUT RISK - Order now

Step 3: Daily Alerts (7am)

Mike received email alerts:

STOCKOUT ALERT: 8 Products Need Action

HIGH PRIORITY:
1. Tito's Vodka - Current: 28 | Need: 68 | ORDER: 50 units
2. White Claw 12pk - Current: 15 | Need: 42 | ORDER: 30 cases
3. Kendall Jackson - Current: 22 | Need: 48 | ORDER: 30 bottles

Revenue at Risk: $8,450
Order by Wednesday

Step 4: Smart Recommendations

For Tito's Vodka:

ORDER NOW: 50 units
- Covers demand: 68 units
- Safety stock: 15 units
- Total after order: 78 units

Store Allocation:

- Store C: 10 units

Step 5: One-Click Ordering (2 minutes)

Mike reviewed the recommendation, clicked "Approve Order," and U2xAI generated the PO and sent it to the supplier. Total time: 2 minutes vs. 30 minutes manually.

Step 6: Continuous Monitoring (24/7)

U2xAI synced daily with POS, tracked actual vs. forecast, and improved predictions:

Week 1: Predicted 68, Sold 71 (4% variance)
Week 2: Predicted 70, Sold 69 (1% variance)
Week 3: Predicted 72, Sold 72 (0% variance)

Step 7: Event Detection (2-4 Weeks Ahead)

Three weeks before July 4th:

UPCOMING EVENT: July 4th Weekend

Historical Analysis:
- Beer: +80% vs. normal weekend
- Seltzer: +120%
- Snacks: +65%

Recommended Action (Order by June 20):
- Beer: +80 cases
- Seltzer: +45 cases
- Snacks: +30 cases

Revenue Opportunity: $15,200
Expected Profit: $6,800

Last Year: Ran out of 12 products
Lost Revenue: $9,500

Mike ordered 3 weeks ahead, got better pricing, captured all holiday sales while competitors ran out.
