Excel and QuickBooks gaps
Exports show data, but not what action a buyer should take next.
AI-native supply planning for inventory-heavy SMB distributors
Turn demand into confident inventory, sourcing, and purchasing decisions.
SMBrion helps inventory-heavy SMB distributors automate the flow from demand to inventory to supplier intelligence, sourcing, and purchasing. Built for teams managing many SKUs across multiple suppliers — starting with food, beverage, packaging, electrical, and industrial supply.
Demand-to-inventory planning
Supplier intelligence
Buyer-ready purchasing actions
The problem
Distributor teams lose margin when purchasing decisions depend on scattered data.
Inventory, supplier updates, demand changes, prices, and open POs often live across Excel, QuickBooks, inboxes, and memory. That makes reorder quantity, supplier choice, and PO timing harder than they should be.
Stockouts and overstock
Teams miss fast-moving SKUs or buy too much because demand and cover are unclear.
Supplier delays
Late POs, missing ETAs, and backorders are buried in emails and calls.
Price uncertainty
Buyers do not always see last paid price, unit cost changes, or purchase impact before generating POs.
Manual PO decisions
Quantity, supplier, price, and timing decisions still depend on buyer memory and spreadsheet checks.
The solution
A supply planning decision layer first. Purchasing execution second.
SMBrion reads inventory exports, demand signals, supplier history, RFQs, price references, and open POs, then turns inventory risk into replenishment and sourcing decisions before preparing buyer-ready purchasing actions.
Messy distributor data → Supply planning intelligence → Replenishment and sourcing decisions → Automated supplier follow-ups and buyer-ready PO drafts
Data Intake
Excel, QuickBooks, supplier notes, PO records, demand history, and inventory counts.
Inventory Intelligence
Calculate stock cover, reorder urgency, demand spikes, slow movers, and open PO coverage.
Quantity Recommendations
Estimate how much to buy using current stock, demand, lead time, target cover, reorder point, and open POs.
Supplier and Price Support
Surface preferred suppliers, last paid price, lead time, delivery risk, and estimated purchase value.
AI-Assisted PO Drafts
Group recommended items by supplier with quantity, reason, price reference, and estimated value to create buyer-ready drafts for buyer review.
From planning to action
What SMBrion Helps Automate
One AI-assisted decision layer connects inventory exposure, supplier risk, sourcing choices, and the actions a distributor buyer needs to take.
Demand-to-inventory planning
Turn POS demand, sales history, current stock, and open PO data into daily replenishment decisions.
Inventory risk and replenishment
Flag stockout-risk SKUs, overstock watchlist items, forecasted cover issues, and reorder needs.
Supplier intelligence and sourcing
Compare suppliers using lead times, price references, RFQ and sourcing signals, MOQ, pack size, and open PO coverage.
Automated supplier follow-ups
Identify suppliers that need action and prepare automated follow-up workflows when delays or open POs create inventory risk.
Buyer-ready PO drafts
Use AI to group recommended items by supplier, estimate PO value, and generate PO drafts for buyer review.
Full action plan export
Show top priorities on the dashboard and export the broader High / Medium / Watch action list for buyers to work from.
Who it is for
Designed around inventory-heavy SMB distributors.
Starting with food, beverage, restaurant supply, packaging, electrical components, and industrial supply — not generic sourcing for every industry.
Restaurant supply distributors
Track high-turn kitchen, janitorial, and disposable items with recommended reorder quantities and supplier follow-ups.
Electrical component distributors
Plan across large SKU catalogs where supplier lead time, alternates, price, pack size, and availability shape replenishment.
Industrial supply distributors
Connect demand and stock exposure to supplier evaluation, sourcing support, and timely purchasing decisions.
Specialty food distributors
Manage shelf-stable, refrigerated, seasonal, and imported items where lead times and demand shifts matter.
Beverage distributors
Spot fast-moving cases, promo-driven demand changes, delayed replenishment, and supplier timing issues.
Packaging distributors
Monitor cartons, sleeves, containers, and custom items where MOQ, pack size, and supplier timing affect purchase decisions.
Future platform
Start with the files you have. Grow into an always-on decision layer.
Today, the MVP works with file uploads. Long term, SMBrion works without manual uploads and supports distributors with or without existing systems — becoming the lightweight supply planning platform for teams with no operating system, and the AI decision layer on top of POS, QuickBooks, inventory tools, and ERPs for teams that already have one.
