Every inventory decision, one engine.
Sixteen modules that share one dataset. Stop tabbing through five spreadsheets to ask one question. Read the data once, get every answer.
Multi-file ingest
Drop one CSV or twelve XLSX files. Auto-cleans empty columns, detects phantom SKUs (zero on-hand AND zero sales), surfaces backorders. Column mapping is auto-suggested and saved for next time.
Demand forecasting
ETS, Holt-Winters, Croston-SBA, auto-selected per SKU. Rolling-origin cross-validation reports out-of-sample MAPE — you see how good the model is on YOUR data, not a vendor benchmark.
Excess + deadstock
Per-SKU excess units and value above target months-of-supply. Deadstock detection. Stockout risk flags with days-to-stockout.
Reorder policy
Safety stock sized to your service-level target. Reorder point. EOQ with MOQ constraints flagged. Suggested order quantity with a reason string.
Multi-location transfers
Suggested transfers that move stock from over-supplied locations to ones at risk. Source-and-destination MOS shown for context.
Markdown plans
Liquidate / Aggressive Clearance / Tactical tiers per SKU. Expected recovery vs. estimated write-down. Tells you when to try a supplier return first.
Assortment
Core / Watch / Rationalize / Discontinue classification using sales share + inventory share + velocity + forecast volatility.
Supplier scorecards
Spend concentration, MOQ exception count, lead-time stats, reorder-now SKU count. Constraints surface so procurement conversations have data.
Capital unlock tracker
Log every action you took (liquidate, reduce-order, transfer) and the cash you recovered. Proof your CFO actually wants to see.
Tasks
Convert any action-plan row into a tracked task with priority and due date. Sync with whatever you use today — no more screenshots in Slack.
Branded PDF reports
Cover page with your workspace name, exec summary, KPI grid, top 12 actions, methodology. Board-ready in three clicks.
AI insights (PRO+)
Our AI reads your run and answers questions in plain language. "Why is supplier X's spend up 30%?" — get a narrative grounded in your actual data.
Fresh inventory (PRO+)
Shelf-life-aware reorder logic for perishables. Suggest write-downs before expiry.
Production / BOM (PRO+)
Bill-of-materials-aware planning. Convert finished-goods forecast into component buy lists.
Multi-user (PRO+)
OWNER / ADMIN / PLANNER / VIEWER roles. Every action audit-logged. Comments and assignments on tasks.
Billing + plan controls
Stripe-native. Plan switching, prorated upgrades, 7-day grace period on downgrades so you can export everything before access locks.
What you actually get back.
Not a dashboard to admire — a ranked list of what to do, a board-ready report, and a tally of the cash you freed up.

Honesty section.
The fastest way to lose your trust is to claim something we're not. Here's what Tropix doesn't do.
- We're not a WMS or ERP. We read your data, we don't run your warehouse.
- We're not a black-box ML platform — every recommendation has an explainable reason string.
- We don't replace your buyer or planner. We give them the prioritized list, faster.
- We don't train models on customer inventory.
Built like infrastructure.
We're an engineering team that ships, not a deck.
Classical statistics: ETS, Holt-Winters, Croston-SBA for forecasting; Wilson EOQ; sigma × √L safety stock. Nothing exotic; everything explainable.
Next.js + Supabase + Postgres + Stripe. Hosted on Vercel + Supabase US-East. EU region on the compliance roadmap.
Row-level security per workspace. TLS in transit, encrypted at rest. Audit log on every plan (not just Enterprise). SOC 2 Type I audit prep in Q3 2026.
Operator questions, answered.
The things buyers actually ask before they upload a file.
What systems does it integrate with? Do I need an API?
Tropix reads CSV and XLSX exports from any system — Shopify, NetSuite, SAP, Cin7, Fishbowl, an in-house ERP, or a spreadsheet your warehouse manager keeps. No API project or IT ticket to start: export a file, drop it in, and the column mapping is auto-suggested and saved for next time. Direct connectors are on the roadmap.
Can it handle multiple warehouses or locations?
Yes. Add a location column and Tropix computes excess, deadstock, and stockout risk per location, then suggests transfers that move stock from over-supplied sites to ones at risk — with source and destination months-of-supply shown for context.
How many SKUs can it handle? We have tens of thousands.
It's built for large catalogs — tens of thousands of SKUs per run, including 50K+. Bigger files take a little longer to crunch, but the action plan still ranks the few hundred SKUs that actually need attention this week, so you're never staring at 50,000 rows.
What CSV format and columns do I need?
Minimum: SKU, quantity on hand, and unit cost. Add monthly sales (or a 12-month total), lead time, MOQ, supplier, category, and location to unlock forecasting, reorder policy, supplier scorecards, and transfers. We map your column names to ours automatically and flag anything missing before a run.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No. Your inventory data is never used to train any model. The Pro AI insights send only aggregated run summaries — never per-SKU rows — to the AI provider, which does not train on data sent through its API.
How long does a run take?
Under five minutes for most catalogs, from upload to a prioritized SKU action plan. Larger files take a little longer, but you'll have the diagnostic before your coffee's gone.
How is my data stored and isolated?
In a Postgres database hosted in Supabase's US-East region, encrypted at rest and in transit, scoped to your workspace with row-level security so no other tenant can see it. EU residency is on the roadmap.
