Your audit findings, turned into a system that keeps working after we leave.
- Override triggers built around your categories, suppliers and risk
- Automated alerts, so a breached threshold always reaches a person
- Hands-on setup, handover on a call, and 30 days of support
Scoped and set up on your call.
Illustrative. Your thresholds are set from your own categories, suppliers and risk profile.
What this actually is
An audit tells you what went wrong. It does not stop it happening again. The distance between knowing and not repeating is a documented, repeatable answer to one question: when do we trust the number, and when do we override it?
The Intelligence Engine builds that answer for your business specifically. Where you already run your own forecasting, we build the oversight layer around it: named thresholds for tariff movement, competitor stockout signals, trend velocity shifts and supplier lead time changes, with escalation rules setting out who on your team makes which call. Where you run no forecasting of your own and have no appetite to start, we produce the forecast for you instead, applying the same judgement internally rather than handing you a framework to run yourself.
Either way the point is the same. The judgement stops living in one person's head, and stops disappearing when that person is on holiday.
What's included
- A decision on delivery mode, taken from what your Audit found
- An override trigger checklist built around your own business
- Named thresholds for lead times, trend shifts and tariff moves
- Competitor stockout signals watched on your shared lines
- Escalation rules setting out who on your team makes which call
- Your forecast produced on cadence, where you run none of your own
- A supplier lead time calculator built into the system
- Custom alerts so triggers fire without anyone remembering to look
- 30 days of coaching for your team once it is handed over
- Set up and handed over on a call, ready to run from day one
How it runs, start to finish
Call
We scope the build against your audit findings and agree which delivery mode fits your business.
Build
Your thresholds, escalation rules and calculators are built around your own categories and suppliers, not a template.
Alerts
Automated alerts are wired up so a breached threshold reaches a person rather than sitting in a file.
Handover
Set up and handed over on a call, so your team knows how to use it from day one.
30 days
Coaching and support while it beds into how you actually work.
Is this right for you?
- You have had the Audit and now want the findings turned into something that runs.
- You already forecast and need the discipline around it, rather than another tool that produces a number.
- You run no forecasting at all and would rather we produced it than buy software you then have to operate.
Practical questions
Why is there no Buy Now on this tier?
Because the build is scoped to your business, and which of the two delivery modes fits depends on what your Audit actually found. Selling it as a fixed self-serve product would mean guessing at that, and a wrong guess wastes your money as well as our time. A short call settles it properly before anyone commits to anything.
Do I need the Audit first?
It is strongly preferred, and in practice it is almost always the right order. The Engine is built directly from audit findings, so without them your thresholds would be set on assumption rather than evidence, which defeats the entire point of the tier. If you have equivalent analysis of your own, bring it to the call and we will tell you straight whether it is enough to build on.
What data do you need?
The same intake as the Audit: sales history by SKU, current stock, and supplier lead times. On top of that we want any thresholds you already work to, even the informal ones that only live in someone's head. Those existing rules are usually half right, and knowing them stops us rebuilding something your team already trusts.
How long does setup take?
Scoped on the call, because it depends on how many categories and suppliers are in play. Typically it is built and handed over within weeks rather than months. You leave that call with a date rather than a vague promise, and if anything changes you hear about it before the date passes, not after.
What happens after the 30 days?
Nothing expires and nothing switches off. What we built is yours: the thresholds, the escalation rules and the calculators all stay in your business whether you continue with us or not. Many clients move on to The Intelligence Partner to keep it current as suppliers and conditions change, but that is a choice you make with a working system already in place, not a condition of it working at all.
