Multi-branch specialty retail

Specialty retail: overnight risk → morning PO queue

A multi-branch specialty retailer with 3,000+ SKUs replaced aisle-walk triage with a ranked overnight stock-risk queue that drafts POs for morning approval.

Problem

What was breaking

Cover days lived in side sheets. By the time buyers opened the day, the “hot list” was already stale — and nobody could see why a SKU was flagged.

Workflow

What they run now

Overnight agents rank stock risk with lead time and demand context. Buyers open a morning queue, review reasoning, approve draft POs, and keep a 60-second undo window.

Operator note

We did not need another dashboard. We needed a morning list that already knew what to buy — and let us say no.
