Get total visibility of your most important operational insights in a single snapshot. And take immediate action to unlock better growth.

Our new actionable dashboard gives you a comprehensive overview of your inventory health for the next 30 days. This will allow you to avoid any possible stockouts and take proactive actions to get ahead of your brand’s operational challenges. 

Here’s a quick overview of what the new actionable dashboard includes: 

Let’s walk you through it: 

Replenish Now/ Replenish Soon/ Production Orders:

In this section, you can easily access Cogsy's replenishment recommendations. You’ll know exactly what SKUs you need to order at the right time. 

Take the guesswork out of your inventory planning efforts. With your new dashboard, you’ll easily monitor potential stockouts or overstocks in the future. 

In addition, Cogsy will also surface clear insight into the working capital necessary to streamline your replenishment process. 

In this section, you will find:

• Replenish now: Monitoring what SKUs need replenishment immediately. 
• Replenish soon: Keeps track of SKUs that will need replenishment in the next 30 days.
• Production Orders: Number of active production orders that you might want to convert to purchase orders.

Stock Levels

You will access a heatmap of your stock levels based on your replenishment strategy and inventory plan. This will allow you to monitor how well stocked you’ll be for the next 12 months. 

But that is not it. You will also get a timeline detailing the working capital needed to keep that heatmap on the green. You must keep your SKU's costs updated in your underlying data source for better accuracy.

You can now leave stress aside. With Cogsy, you’ll be prepared for the future. 

Planned Growth 

Want to know if you are on track to hitting goals?

Planned Growth will allow you to keep track of your real-time revenue and compare it to your monthly revenue goal.

With this information, you’ll be able to keep a pulse on where you stand and take appropriate action. 

Upcoming Events

Keeping in mind all events or marketing efforts that could affect your inventory forecast is crucial. 

Here, you’ll get a snapshot of any upcoming marketing events and new product launches that might affect your target revenue in the next 30 days.

👋 - The Cogsy team

Creating your growth plan is not always as simple as calculating the percentage of growth you want to achieve each month or year.

Sometimes, you need to see dollar amounts. Or, in this case, revenue.

Now, you can view the predicted revenue as you edit your growth plan. 

When you drag the growth plan up or down, we’ll show you the predicted revenue in the tooltip in real-time.

So you know exactly what revenue numbers you’re aiming for.

And that's not all...

Something big is coming soon! Watch out for a huge new update to your Cogsy account next week.

If bundles play an important role in your DTC marketing strategy, we’ve got exciting news for you!

Pulling off a successful bundles strategy isn’t easy from an operational standpoint. To do bundles well, you need complete clarity on how much stock you need in order to:

1. sell a SKU individually
2. sell a SKU as part of a bundle

Cogsy now gives you that clarity, so you know the bundle’s future demand and when your reorder points are for SKUs sold as part of a bundle.

Here are some changes you’ll notice within your Cogsy account:

When you’re viewing a bundle parent SKU, the Replenishment widget will redirect you to the individual SKUs within the bundle. You’ll also see a breakdown of the SKUs included within the bundle.

On each SKU’s individual listing, you can also now view breakdowns of bundles within the Replenishment widgets.

The Units target now includes a breakdown of the “SKU target” and the “Bundle target.”

And when it comes to showing how many units you’ve sold, Cogsy now provides a breakdown of the SKU's individual sales and the bundle's sales.

Aside from clarity from a replenishment point of view, you can now easily view historical sales and forecasted future demand, split between the bundle and the single SKU. 

For each SKU that’s part of a bundle, you’ll now see a new graph representing the historical sales and future demand, with the bundle data stacked on top of the single SKU data.

Because better data enables better planning. 

Within Cogsy, view what you’ll need to order for the coming months and prepare accordingly.

We’re working hard to surface more insights, so you can reach your revenue goals with confidence.

More growth, less stockouts.

Stay tuned! More product updates and improvements in the coming weeks.

Now, you'll know how much working capital you'll need available to achieve your growth plans.

Because cash flow is crucial to your growing business.

Cogsy can now help you plan better by telling you how much working capital you’ll need for your inventory for the next 12 months.

When issuing POs, your team needs to know how much working capital is required to order the recommended amount. Now, you can make decisions about whether to order less stock more regularly in order to have more cash on hand.

Product cost is supported by the following integrations:

• Shopify
• Skubana
• Cin7
• Fulfil
• ShipBob

For both Purchase Orders and Production Orders, you’ll get estimated product costs for all the items within your order.

We’ll also estimate how much working capital you’ll need for the inventory you’ll sell for individual months.

There’s more where this came from!

We’ll be pushing new product updates and improvements in just a few days.

You can now archive SKUs to help optimize your future planning!

When it comes to inventory forecasting, what do you do with products you no longer sell? You don’t want them skewing your forecasts and calculations, that’s for sure.

That’s why we’ve just added the ability to archive a SKU.

This new feature will make it easier for you to keep your product catalog organized and tidy, which leads to more accuracy in your forecasts and better planning.

Within Cogsy, you can now flag a SKU for archiving, so that it is excluded from all visualization and calculations.

Here's how it works:

To archive a SKU, simply go to the Products listing page, click Settings, select the SKUs you wish to archive, and click "Archive".

As always, you have complete control over this. You can always unarchive a SKU if you need to, by going to the "Archived" section and clicking the "Unarchive" button.

All archived SKUs are automatically hidden from your list of products, your dashboard, purchase orders, production orders and your replenishment alert emails.

We've made it easy to keep your data squeaky clean and your plans on point.

And there's more where this came from!

Stay tuned for those to be announced in the coming weeks.

If you need any help with your data or archiving a SKU, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to help!

We've just added the ability to assign a label to your marketing events for better planning.

You never want to go out of stock during an important sales event.

Factoring your marketing events into your inventory plan is crucial to making sure you stay in stock during your most important campaigns and promos.

With Cogsy’s marketing events calendar, DTC brands ensure their purchase orders reflect the extra stock they’ll need to support their marketing events and grow their brand's revenue.

Each marketing event includes important inputs like your expected sales increase and which SKUs will be affected, all to help avoid missing out on revenue during unexpected stockouts.

Now, you can add new a label to your marketing events.

The new labels are:

• Email Campaign
• SMS Campaign
• Product Launch
• New Ad Campaign / Creative
• TV Campaign

For each marketing event, you can choose whichever label fits best.

When you fill your marketing calendar with your campaigns and events, this is what it will look like:

Each of the marketing events you include in your calendar will help ensure your purchase orders (POs) and forecasted inventory is optimized to keep you in stock and keep your customers happy!

This is now live within your Cogsy account. Within the Planning section, head to Marketing Events to start adding labels to each of your campaigns.

And there’s more where this came from.

Stay tuned for more product updates and improvements in the coming weeks!

Improve your product data to unlock better insights and take smarter actions!

Today, we’re excited to announce a new feature within Cogsy: product syncing.

This feature will allow you to sync products from different sources and consolidate your data within Cogsy. You can map or merge SKUs to each other, making it easier to keep your product data clean.

Syncing products from multiple sources builds a bigger, clearer profile of each of your products—sales history, metadata, and more—scattered across multiple sources.

Because cleaner data will unlock even better insights for your business.

Sync products from different sources

We know that keeping track of your product data can be a challenge, and we’re always looking for ways to make your team's life easier. With our new product syncing feature, you can now ensure that your data is organized the way you want it, with minimal effort.

You can now sync your data between multiple SKUs, making it easy to keep track of your inventory even if you have different products spread across different platforms, Shopify stores, or systems. 

All while giving you the power to determine which is the default source for product data.

Map and merge SKUs

We've also added support for mapping or merging SKUs due to historic SKU changes or different SKU id on different sources.

To get started, simply go to Settings in the Products section and select the SKUs you want to map or merge. Once you’ve selected the SKUs, you can choose how you want to sync them:

1. map them so they share the same data, or 
2. merge them so they have separate data.

This helps bridge the gap for creating purchase orders (POs) more easily, no matter where your product data lives.

Inventory count

Within this new feature, you can now specify how you want to use the inventory quantities from each product source they sync from. You can either:

1. Sum inventory quantities from all sources
2. Use one of the sources as the source of truth for inventory quantity

You will set that here:

This will help you keep a more accurate count of your inventory, tailored to your brand's specific setup.

Product syncing is now live for you to use within your Cogsy account. 

Stay tuned for two new integrations coming soon!

Achieve long-term granular inventory clarity with our new product views and start making more confident decisions!

With Cogsy's new product views, you'll access detailed forecasts up to 12 months out. 

This will help you better understand future sales, revenue, and even revenue percentage share per SKU—so you can take smarter actions to reach your audacious revenue goals.

Cogsy will surface insights on where the potential pitfalls are, so you can prepare accordingly. 

With our improved product views, you’ll be able to: 

• View your expected sales in granular detail, including sales forecast, revenue forecast, and revenue percentage share 
• Know what role each of your SKUs plays in your revenue
• Optimize allocation of resources
• View a heatmap of future needs (and pitfalls) more easily than ever

Let's walk through each product view now available for you to use within Cogsy.

The current Products page will now have two different views: Replenishment and Planning.

Replenishment View

Replenishment is the view option that you’ve had available up until now, which gives you shorter-term planning options.

A few changes have been made, including data combinations for better information visibility.

Now you can select your preferred view:

1. List view (previously available)
2. Grouped by Category

Here's where you can toggle between the two:

List view

This allows you to view your SKUs in a list format, like this:

Grouped by Category

You can also view your products grouped by category to visualize product data by the stated groups in your inventory (if you have the categories system in place within your inventory.) This is supported by Shopify, Skubana. CIN7, Amazon, and Fulfil.

It looks like this:

Planning View

In our new Planning views, we're redefining the way you can visualize your future inventory needs. You now get a visual indication of your inventory (per SKU) and revenue levels into the coming months displayed as a heat map, so you can be proactive about setting your brand up for success.

Depending on your business needs, you have the flexibility to switch between inventory displays, including units, revenue, and revenue percentage share. On top of that, toggle between viewing them by list or grouped by categories.

Here is what each view looks like within your Cogsy account:

Displaying as units

Displaying as revenue

Displaying as revenue percentage share

All of these product views are now live for you to use within your Cogsy account. 

Our team is hard at work building tools to empower your brand to reach your revenue goals with more confidence.

The countdown is over. Our two newest features are now live in your Cogsy account and ready for you to use!

Read on for a full rundown of what these features include.

Production Orders

With supply chains disrupted and so uncertain, working from one PO to the next may lead to stockouts and hurt your customer’s experience. With our Production Orders feature, gain better visibility into your future inventory needs by estimating your purchase orders for the next 12 months.

Planning into the future gives your team time to plan accordingly. Our heatmap will show you which SKUs have good coverage and which don’t, and we’ll recommend which SKUs need a production order.

You can then leverage that information to give your vendors predictability and improve those key relationships to negotiate better terms. That way, your manufacturer can ensure availability in their production schedule and perhaps offer the option to place smaller production runs more frequently. Quality relationships with suppliers provide a massive advantage over competitors.

A fast-growing DTC brand used our Production Orders feature to reduce down payments to their vendors by 50% and negotiate better terms for the upcoming year. The relationships with vendors improved by having the year planned out ahead of time, giving both parties more accuracy and confidence.

New Product Planning

You work hard creating new products for your brand, but how do you know how much product to order for your launch? With our new feature, you can move beyond guesstimates and estimate demand for new product launches with confidence.

Now, you’ll know how much to order of a product you’ve never sold. Just select products with similar characteristics and Cogsy will take the hassle out of calculating predicted sales data for the first 30, 60, and 90 days—for products with or without variants.

Once you choose products with similar characteristics, Cogsy uses their sales history and applies growth factors to generate predictions around new products’ future sales. We also factor in lead times, so you know you’ll place orders for your new product at the right time.

Estimating demand for new product launches isn’t straightforward. Our new features allow you to create various simulations and see how predicted sales changes in each one.

With Cogsy, execute your new product launches with more confidence and less stress.

Reach your revenue goals with confidence

Both of these features are live for you to use in your Cogsy account.

If you'd like a live demo of how these features can empower your brand, just reach out to us. We're here to help you grow your DTC brand with less stress and in less time.

Stay tuned for more game-changing features soon!
