AI Agents Designed for Inventory and Marketing
Conative's AI agents are purpose-built for operators running DTC brands. No generic chatbot, no GPT wrapper bolted onto Shopify. Every agent handles real work across forecasting, replenishment, planning, and marketing analysis, so the hours lost to spreadsheets come back and catalog decisions land with more confidence.

Forecasts With Their Work Shown
Most forecasting tools hand over a number and expect faith. Conative's AI agents show the reasoning behind every prediction. Each forecast is trained on the brand's own data: SKU-level sales history, seasonality, channel performance, PO cadence. That transparency is part of what earned recognition for Best Predictive Analytics at the 2025 AI Awards, and it translates into accuracy that lands 30 to 50 percent better on overstock and 15 to 20 percent better on understock versus rule-based spreadsheets. Every recommendation stays decision-support. The agent does the math. The operator gives the green light.
Replenishment That Pays for Itself
Every stockout is lost revenue. Every overstock is a markdown waiting to happen. Conative's Replenishment agent watches the catalog continuously, flags SKUs heading for zero, surfaces excess coverage before it turns into clearance, and drafts the PO that used to eat a Tuesday in Excel. Budget constraints, lead times, MOQs, and supplier payment terms are already baked in. The plan arrives ready for review.
- Flag SKUs that will hit zero before the next replenishment lands, with days-of-cover and lost-revenue-at-risk attached.
- Surface excess-coverage SKUs before markdowns become inevitable, so the discount lands at 15% instead of 70%.
- Auto-generate a budget-constrained draft PO that respects lead times, MOQs, and payment terms, ready for approval.
- Keep marketing aligned, so ad spend never drives traffic to a SKU that can't ship.
Plan Down to the Variant, Not the Category
Category-level plans miss where the money lives. The gold hoop sells. The silver hoop sits. Size M moves. Size XL doesn't. Conative's Planning agent builds the sales plan at the SKU and variant level, anchored to a revenue target, with carryover inventory already factored in before a new dollar gets committed.
- Build a sales plan anchored to the revenue target, with carryover inventory priced in from the start.
- Stress-test best case, base case, and worst case at the variant level before the PO goes out.
- Drill into any SKU to see sales, inventory, ad spend, pageviews, and conversion rate side by side.
- Balance the 70/30 split between core replenishable styles and new launches, the ratio that protects revenue while keeping assortments fresh.
What Changed. Why It Matters. What to Do Next.
The Analyst agent delivers a continuous read on movement, momentum, and forecast health. Not another dashboard to interpret, but a weekly brief that names the SKUs behind every spike and drop, and tells merchandising where to act next.
- Spot the biggest sales spikes and drops week over week and month over month, with the SKUs named, not just the categories.
- Flag SKUs with unstable forecasts before the plan goes sideways and a replenishment order is already in flight.
- Surface the merchandising moves worth making: which hero products belong on the homepage, which PDPs deserve the refresh, all based on conversion data.

Spend Where Inventory Can Deliver
The best-performing products aren't always the most-promoted ones. Conative's Marketing agent ties conversion data, inventory levels, and channel performance together to show where the next ad dollar earns the most, and when to pull spend off a SKU that's two weeks from stockout. This combination of inventory and marketing in a single platform is what earned the 2024 Best in SaaS Award for Best Company in AI-Powered Inventory and Marketing Analytics.
- Identify high-converting SKUs that are underexposed and ready for more ad spend.
- Pull ad budget off SKUs about to stock out, so paid traffic never lands on unavailable product.
- Connect marketing and inventory in one view. No second tool, no second dashboard, no reconciliation.
Voices of Success
“We have just one person managing $10M worth of inventory. Using AI for inventory planning is extremely helpful because it takes human error from math and spreadsheets out of the equation, which lowers my anxiety and increases confidence in my planning. It’s great to have Conative AI to support the forecasts and give transparency for management."
