Stackwise's AI now forecasts demand per SKU per brand, suggesting reorders with confidence scores. Brands have freed an average £283k of trapped capital — without a single stockout in the first quarter.
The challenge
D2C brands live or die on cash flow. Stackwise's customers were either over-ordering (cash trapped) or under-ordering (lost sales). Spreadsheets weren't cutting it.
They needed forecasting that worked across very different brands without requiring a data scientist per client.
"Cash flow is the single biggest constraint on a D2C brand. Stackwise plus FWS just gave us a quarter of cash back."
What we did
- Multi-tenant models — each brand gets its own model, trained automatically on its own history.
- Reorder recommendations — quantity, timing and confidence, ready to push to suppliers.
- Cash dashboards — shows trapped capital, stockout risk and reorder cost in one place.
- Supplier integration — approved reorders fire directly into supplier portals.
The outcome
Across lead brands, an average £283k of trapped capital was freed. Stockouts dropped to near-zero. Stackwise is now scaling the AI offering to its full client book.
