Inventory planning software for retailers, wholesalers & distributors

Order like you've got a team of demand planners.

OptimusX runs AI demand forecasting across every product and hands you carefully calculated orders — the right stock, in the right place, at the right time — so you protect your sales and free up the cash trapped in the rest. It's how the big chains plan inventory — without the large planning teams, expensive systems and tangled integrations that usually come with it.

The problem

You're losing sales and stocking the wrong products.

You already order every week — off a spreadsheet, a rep's suggestion, or gut feel. That's exactly where the money leaks: too much of what isn't selling, too little of what is. Cash freezes in dead and excess stock while stockouts quietly cost you sales. Enterprise planning software could fix it, but it was built for big corporates with big budgets and specialist teams. OptimusX gives you that firepower without them.

What OptimusX does

Two jobs, done for you: what to buy, and what to watch.

OptimusX is an intelligent ordering system — AI demand forecasting and Optimus Intelligence working together — that lets businesses buried in spreadsheets and data manage inventory like a large corporate.

1

Tells you exactly what to order

AI demand forecasting learns how each product really sells, then sizes every order for you — the right quantity, at the right time, with safety stock matched to your supplier lead times. No more overbuying slow stock or running out of your best sellers.

  • Demand forecasting for every product
  • Reorder points & replenishment suggestions
  • Statistical safety stock, not flat rules of thumb
  • Inter-branch transfers — move stock instead of re-buying
2

Shows what matters — and what to do next

One dashboard turns your data into the numbers that move the business — trapped cash, stockout risk, service levels and supplier performance — and Optimus Intelligence writes it up as a plain-English briefing: what's urgent this week, why, and the first move to make.

  • Key-insights dashboard: trapped cash, stockout risk, service levels
  • Dead & slow-moving stock alerts
  • Supplier scorecards — who's late, who's costing you
  • Optimus Intelligence: AI guidance in plain English
