Inventory intelligence
AI inventory management built on connected stock and sales data
See on-hand, committed, and inbound stock beside orders and sales. Permute reconciles SKUs across storefront, ERP, and spreadsheet data (including pack-size differences), then powers dashboards and AI analysis with traceable figures.

The working view
See the gap between stock and demand
Planners compare stock by SKU and location with open orders, inbound receipts, and recent sales. Late feeds and SKU mismatches appear as exceptions before replenishment decisions.

What makes it work
Unify SKU identity
Permute maps product IDs, pack sizes, and channel names so the same item is counted once across sources.
Show freshness and exceptions
Each view shows source freshness and flags delayed warehouse or sales feeds beside the affected figures.
Ask better inventory questions
Ask about stockouts, excess inventory, and sell-through by item or channel, then inspect the records behind the answer.
How it works
From stock records to inventory decisions
- 01
Connect the records
Permute brings stock, sales, open orders, and inbound purchase data into one view.
- 02
Apply inventory definitions
Shared rules distinguish available, reserved, and inbound units across channels and pack sizes.
- 03
Review the exceptions
Dashboards flag low stock and conflicting balances with the source records planners need to investigate.
Why build on Permute
Build on a foundation each new tool can reuse.
Permute connects systems, reconciles records, and keeps business definitions and source evidence in one place. Each application reuses that foundation (including its data access rules) instead of rebuilding the same integrations and logic.
Build with your own team through Permute Factory's API and SDK, or work with our engineers to build and maintain the application. Permute-hosted apps use Permute sign-in and app access checks. Each app checks which business data a person may see before returning it.
Built for this workflow
Inventory intelligence for your planning process
Bring stock, orders, sales, and supplier updates into one current view. Planners can see the item, location, source records, and next decision behind every exception.
Questions teams ask
Can we use data from our warehouse system?
Yes. Permute combines warehouse records with orders, sales, and finance for planning and analysis.
How does AI help inventory planning?
Ask where stock is at risk and why. Answers use reconciled inventory data and show the source records behind the result.
How are stale inventory feeds handled?
The view shows the last successful update by source, so planners can see when a warehouse or sales feed is behind.
