Why Skuwell

Forecasting tools guess from sales. Skuwell sees the whole operation.

Most purchasing tools only see your sales history. Skuwell's forecasts also know your real on-hand by bin, incoming POs, channel velocity, and what just walked out the door in a short pick — because it's all one system. Recommendations come from the same record of truth your warehouse runs on.

FAQ

Purchasing & Forecasting, answered.

How does Skuwell forecast demand?

Forecasts run per SKU across all your channels, with models that handle seasonal, trending, and intermittent demand. You see the forecast, the assumptions, and the recommended buy — and you can override any of it.

Can Skuwell create purchase orders automatically?

Yes. Replenishment recommendations become draft POs in one click, and scheduled auto-draft runs can prepare POs for your review on a cadence you choose. Nothing sends without your approval unless you decide it should.

Does Skuwell handle vendor invoices?

Yes. Invoices are captured — including from email attachments — and reconciled against POs and receipts, so quantity shortfalls, price changes, and surprise fees get caught before they're paid.

Can Skuwell calculate landed costs?

Yes. Freight, duties, and other costs are allocated down to the unit, so your margins reflect what inventory actually cost to get on the shelf.
