Cogsy, Demand Forecasting & Purchase Order Automation

Cogsy Paid Intermediate

The category-defining tool for founder-led DTC brands who are still running inventory off spreadsheets, it predicts stockouts, recommends PO quantities against supplier lead times, and quantifies revenue lost to being out of stock, which is the number that actually gets budget approved.

  • Built specifically for founders/ops generalists without a dedicated supply-chain hire
  • Quantifies revenue lost to stockouts, not just stock-level alerts
  • Needs roughly six months of sales history to reach strong forecast accuracy
