What it does

Eight things your spreadsheet can't.

Cadence reads your sales history, vendor terms, and fabric commitments — and turns them into orders you can place today, with the dollar numbers your CFO actually asks for.

A weekly sales prediction for every size + color

Predicts what you'll sell each week — every product, every color, every size, including brand-new launches with no past sales. Updates every night.

↑ 23% more accurate than rough estimates

Orders the engine actually wrote

Every suggested order respects your vendor's minimum, their lead time, and the units you already have on the way. Each one ships with a written reason for the quantity.

Cuts your buying cycle ~40%

Hit vendor minimums without buying junk

Cadence pools orders across colors and sizes so you clear the minimum in one buy — and warns you before you over-commit on fabric you can't sell through.

~18% less leftover stock

Know which vendors deliver on time

Tracks how each vendor actually performs against the date they promised. Tells you when to place an order early, when to split a shipment, and when to switch suppliers.

94% on-time delivery

Ask anything, in plain English

Ask "why did parka sales jump?" or "what is at risk for next fall?" — Cadence answers in language your CFO understands, citing the actual numbers.

In-app chat, powered by CADE

Every order comes with the math

Click any suggested order and the engine walks you through how it picked the quantity: forecast covered, safety floor, vendor minimum, lead time. No more guessing why a number is what it is.

How it works

A planning loop that closes itself.

Three steps — every day, every week, every season. Cadence does the math; your team makes the calls.

01 · Predict

A sales prediction that knows what you sell.

Upload your sales history, current stock, and vendor terms by spreadsheet (or hook up an API). Cadence trains a model on your own numbers — it knows the difference between a spring parka and a swim short, so each prediction is shaped right for the season. It leans on a product's own track record once it has enough of one, and until then it borrows from the products most like it — so nothing is ever a blind guess.

  • Every product, color, and size — refreshed every night
  • New launches forecast from day one: they borrow the sales curve of your most similar proven style (pick the comparable, or let Cadence match it), then hand off to their own numbers as real sales come in — no manual re-forecasting
  • Gives you a high / low range, not just one number
  • Spots promos, weather effects, and seasonal patterns automatically

02 · Recommend

Orders that already account for the real-world rules.

The moment you open the buying page, Cadence has already worked out which orders to place, with which vendor, by when — respecting every vendor minimum, every lead time, every budget cap, and the margin you want to hit. No knobs to turn before it works.

  • Pools sizes and colors so you clear the vendor minimum in one order
  • Splits a buy across mills when the same fabric is shared
  • Coordinates every color in a style — slower colors get fewer units, faster colors get more — so every color sells through together with no leftovers
  • Tells you when to place an order early or push one back
  • Every suggested order ships with a confidence score and a written reason

03 · Explain

Ask anything, in plain English.

The built-in assistant has read every line of your data. Ask why a sales prediction moved, what's at risk for next season, or how to cover a sudden fabric shortage — and get a straight answer with the actual numbers.

  • Ask about one order, one vendor, or the whole business
  • Cites the exact products, orders, and dates from your data
  • Keeps the conversation with each record so context doesn't get lost
  • AI usage is included in your plan, capped per month so you can budget for it
▸ Why is parka demand up 18% vs last FW?
Three drivers: earlier cold snap (NOAA forecast pulled in 11 days), +22% organic search for "shacket" since Sept, and FW25 stock-out on size M from week 6 — pent-up demand carrying into FW26.
▸ What's at risk for SS26?
Linen-32 may not hit the minimum at Vorona — you're at 31% of the minimum with 60 days left. Pull your shorts orders forward or switch to another fabric. Drafted an email to Renu.
▸ Should I send PO-2415 to the vendor?
Yes — 92% confident. Predicted sales 4,820 units, suggested order 4,820, vendor minimum 4,500. Your margin holds at 62%. Itoko shipped on time for the last 8 orders (96%).
Vendor portal

Your factories on the same page.

One invite link gives each vendor a private view of their orders with you — where each one is in the process, how they're doing on on-time delivery, and a place to upload shipping documents. No more chasing confirmations or PDFs over email.

Where every order is, in real time

Sent → confirmed → in production → shipped → received. Your vendor moves the status forward as work happens; you see it live.

No more 'where is it?'

Vendors confirm orders. Big changes need your sign-off.

Every new order needs a vendor confirmation. If they want to change a date by more than a week or a quantity by more than 10%, they pick a reason and you have to approve it. Small tweaks apply automatically.

A clean trail for every change

Shipping docs in 7 days, read automatically

Invoice, packing list, and bill-of-lading must arrive within a week of shipping. The assistant reads each one and flags any line where the quantity or price doesn't match what you ordered.

Mismatches caught for you

A scorecard both sides can see

On-time delivery, how often orders ship without changes, document turnaround. Vendors watch their own 90-day score; you get a ranked list of which vendors need attention this week.

Changes you asked for don't count against the vendor

Works for the spreadsheet vendor and the ERP one

Every order downloads as a spreadsheet for vendors who live in Excel. Bigger vendors can plug their own systems straight in with a secure API key. Both work side by side.

Bring your own tools

Automatic nudges so nothing falls through

Vendors get a message when there's a new order to confirm, when a change request needs their attention, and when a document is overdue. You stop remembering to follow up — the system does it.

Most of the payback lands on the balance sheet. Cadence turns slow, early, and mis-assorted stock back into cash — then keeps it there with fewer markdowns and tighter buys. Illustrative on a $30M inventory book; we rebuild the numbers from your own ledger in a paid pilot.

Common questions

Everything you'd ask on a demo.

How does pricing work, and what do I get?

Every plan ships the same engine — the full planning loop: daily sales predictions, the engine's suggested orders, one-click sending to your vendors, and a daily sold-out / back-in-stock email. Higher tiers raise the limits (planning groups, seats) and add the vendor portal, scorecards, coordinated multi-colour buys, the REST API, integrations, and hands-on support. Pricing is tailored to your revenue and catalog — tell us about your business and we'll follow up with the right fit.

How long until we see real results?

Most teams send their first Cadence-suggested order within 30 days, and see measurable impact (better margin, less leftover stock, more on-time deliveries) by the second buying cycle.

Do we need clean historical data?

No. Cadence works with what you have — including teams running on spreadsheets. Our onboarding team handles the import. Even one season of past sales is enough to start.

What systems do you integrate with?

Spreadsheet upload (sales history, current stock, past orders) covers most teams on day one. There's also a REST API and outbound webhooks for two-way sync with any custom ERP. Pre-built Shopify and NetSuite connectors are on the roadmap.

Is the AI making decisions for us?

No — Cadence suggests. Your team approves. Every suggestion shows the math, lets you change the number, and saves the change. You're always in the loop.

What about new product launches?

For a brand-new product with no past sales, Cadence finds similar products you've sold before (same silhouette, fabric, price tier, season) and uses their pattern. Accuracy improves every season you ship.

How does Cadence handle vendor minimums across multiple colors?

Your vendor doesn't care which colors you order — they just want the total to hit their minimum. Cadence treats every color of one style as one coordinated buy. When stock is about to dip too low, it places a single order and divides the units by how fast each color is actually selling. Fast-selling Navy gets more; slow Sage gets less. Every color runs out at the same time, you hit the minimum in one order instead of many, and you don't end up with a rack of one color nobody wants.

Is our data secure?

Yes. Your org’s data is isolated by row-level database policies and scoped to your organization on every request, encrypted in transit (TLS/HSTS) and at rest, with hashed, revocable API keys and HMAC-signed webhooks for any outbound traffic. AI spend has a monthly cap you control. We’re not yet SOC 2 certified — that audit is on our roadmap — but we run the controls on our security page (least-privilege access, managed secret storage with scheduled rotation, SSRF protection, and an audit log of privileged actions).
