Upload one Shopify sales report. In 10 minutes, get back a 15-page inventory strategy built from your actual data — SKU rankings, dead stock recovery estimates, category analysis, and a 90-day action plan. Not a template. Not a generic checklist. A real analysis with real numbers. It's free.
What Is This?
It's an AI that analyzes your inventory management the way a CFO would — trained on 11 years of eCommerce finance, $500M+ in private equity deals, and real playbooks from 60+ brands doing $260M+ in combined revenue.
Built by Matt Putra and the EightX team, powered by Claude AI.
What the AI Builds for You
- SKU Rankings (ABC Classification) — Every product ranked by how much money it actually makes you. You'll see exactly which SKUs drive your business and which ones are draining cash.
- Dead Stock & Cash Recovery — A dollar estimate of how much cash is trapped in inventory you don't need, and a plan to free it up.
- Category-Level Analysis — Performance breakdowns by product category with specific commentary on what's working, what's not, and why.
- 90-Day Action Plan — Not just "what to fix" but when and how. Prioritized by impact so you know what to do this week, this month, and this quarter.
The full report is 12–15 pages. It's the same analysis our firm charges thousands to produce.
Why This Is Different
A spreadsheet can sort your SKUs by revenue. This AI does what a seasoned CFO does: it reads your data, benchmarks it against industry standards, identifies the problems, and tells you exactly how to fix them — in plain language, with dollar amounts attached.
We built this skill from years of real client work. It follows the exact same methodology our team runs for brands doing $5M–$150M in revenue. Claude is the engine. The skill is the expertise.
What's a "Skill"?
A skill is a set of instructions that tells Claude AI exactly how to analyze your data — what benchmarks to use, what frameworks to apply, and how to format the final report. Without the skill, Claude is guessing. With it installed, Claude follows the same playbook our team uses with paying clients.
You install it once. Then every time you upload sales data, it knows what to do.
What You Need to Get Started
- A Claude account at claude.ai (Opus 4.6 recommended)
- A Shopify sales export — go to Reports → Total Sales by Product Variant → export as CSV (365 days recommended)
- Three numbers about your business:
- Your average COGS as a % of sales (not sure where yours stands? See our guide to COGS variance)
- Your current inventory balance (at cost)
- The date of that inventory balance
That's it. Upload. Run. Get your strategy.
How to Install
