Stock what sells. Free up your cash.
Empty shelves lose sales, and slow stock locks up cash. Aptic compares what sells with what sits, and tells you what to reorder, what to mark down, and when.

Where Aptic helps
Three questions worth answering.
Our consultants and AI agents answer them from your own records, then act on the answer within the limits you set.
Which best sellers keep running out?
See how often top items were out of stock and what that likely cost in sales.
How much cash is sitting in slow stock?
Find items that have not sold in months and what they are worth.
When should we reorder?
Set reorder points from real sales, not guesswork.
An example
Shelves full. Best sellers missing.
What these numbers suggest when read together.
-
Point of sale
Top 20 items out of stock for an average of 9 days last month
-
Inventory
38% of stock value in items with no sale in 90 days
-
Accounting
Cash on hand down 25% after the seasonal order
Recommended next step
Cash is tied up in slow items while best sellers run out. Set reorder points for the top 20 items, mark down the slowest stock, and review sales and cash after four weeks.
Confidence: Medium-high. Stock and sales records show both problems; the sales lost to empty shelves are estimated. A full stockroom is not the same as the right stock.
What connects
What Aptic reads in a shop.
You choose what Aptic can see. Reading a source does not authorize changes.
- Point of sale: what sold, when, and at what price
- Inventory: stock levels, reorders, and how long items sit
- Suppliers and purchasing: order sizes, costs, and delivery times
- Accounting: cash, margins, and seasonal spending

Straight answers
Common questions.
Do I need an inventory system?
It helps, but it is not required. Aptic can start from point-of-sale exports and spreadsheets, and flags what is missing.
Can Aptic order stock from suppliers?
Aptic never moves money, so purchases stay with your team. Aptic suggests reorder points and quantities for you to act on.
Does it account for seasons?
Where you have the history, Aptic compares sales with past seasons and keeps estimates separate from facts.
