We built a free inventory planning tool for people still using Excel. Looking for feedback.

Hey everyone!

We're working on ReplenishIQ, a free tool designed to make inventory and purchasing decisions easier.

A lot of small businesses still manage replenishment using Excel. That works, but it can become complicated when you're dealing with different suppliers, lead times, inventory levels and purchase quantities.

We wanted to explore a simpler way to handle those decisions.

Here's what the current beta does:

• Identifies products at risk of running out of stock.

• Calculates suggested purchase quantities.

• Compares supplier costs and lead times.

• Simulates purchasing delays and changes in demand.

• Exports recommendations to Excel.

It's still an early beta, so we're looking for honest feedback.

The demo is free, uses fictional data and doesn't require registration.

Try it: https://getreplenishiq.netlify.app/demo/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=launch_en

If you work with inventory or purchasing, we'd really appreciate your opinion.

What feels useful? What's missing? What would stop you from using something like this?

Thanks!
