The problem it solves

You know some products matter more to your revenue than others, but figuring out which ones, and which have unpredictable demand, means hours spent in a spreadsheet. Without that view, stocking decisions end up based on guesswork.

Who it fits

An inventory manager or supply chain planner who wants to prioritize stocking decisions based on real sales data.

How it works

  1. Reads daily sales records from a spreadsheet
  2. Removes items with zero sales
  3. Totals sales by store and item
  4. Ranks items by their share of total sales and assigns A, B, or C categories
  5. Calculates demand variability and saves the results
What you get

Products correctly prioritized for restocking decisions

You get your inventory sorted into clear priority tiers so you know exactly which products deserve your restocking attention first.

What you get

A spreadsheet report ranking every product by sales importance and demand volatility.

What you need

A Google account with access to Google Sheets.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
