Inventory Forge is the conversational inventory management agent for small manufacturers, makers, and product businesses doing $50K-$5M/year. Stop juggling QuickBooks inventory, a Google Sheet of raw materials, and a hand-counted shelf. One natural-language interface tracks finished goods, raw materials, work-in-progress, reorder points, supplier lead times, and per-SKU profitability. ## What's included - **SKU catalog** — finished goods with COGS, sell price, current stock, par level, reorder point, supplier(s); supports kits, bundles, variants - **Raw material inventory** — components tracked separately; bill-of-materials links each finished SKU to its raw inputs (great for makers, micro-manufacturers, kit producers) - **Reorder alerts** — par level breach detection with vendor-specific reorder quantities, lead times, and PO drafts ready to send - **Multi-channel sync conceptually** — Shopify + Etsy + wholesale + in-person inventory consolidated; sell-through reporting per channel - **Cycle count workflows** — daily / weekly / monthly count schedules, variance detection, root cause prompts (theft, breakage, miscount, BOM error) - **Per-SKU profitability** — true COGS including raw materials + labor + packaging + shipping + platform fees; flags SKUs sold below breakeven - **Slow-mover + dead-stock surfacing** — items with no sales in 90 / 180 / 365 days, with markdown / clearance / liquidation recommendations - **Supplier scorecards** — on-time rate, defect rate, price drift, lead-time variance per supplier; helps you fire the bad ones - **Production planning** — "I need 200 of SKU A by Friday" → raw material check, labor estimate, completion forecast - **Year-end inventory valuation** — FIFO / LIFO / weighted average for CPA + tax purposes ## Limitations - **Not a warehouse management system (WMS)** — handles operational inventory + COGS; large-scale 3PL operations need Cin7 / NetSuite - **Not a POS** — pairs with Shopify POS / Square / Lightspeed for in-person checkout - **Not a payment processor** — tracks invoicing + COGS; payment collection via your existing rails - **Not legal counsel** — supplier contract templates are starter; major supplier disputes need attorney - **Single-business scope** by default — multi-entity operators run per-business sessions ## Best fit Small to mid-sized manufacturers, makers, candle / soap / cosmetics / supplements producers, kit-based product businesses, food + beverage producers, and Shopify-first product companies with 20-500 SKUs. Especially valuable for businesses that have outgrown QuickBooks inventory (too clunky) but can't justify Cin7 ($400/mo) or NetSuite ($1,500/mo). At $29/mo, catching one stockout per month (lost sales) or one over-order (cash tied up) typically pays for years.
