Our pitch at CommerceNext

Hi, I'm Mike Le, founder of Conative AI. 

I started my first company 18 years ago—a performance marketing agency CBI Digital, that work with some of the largest retailers and brands in the space.

And I've seen this problem again and again: Inventory issues can kill the best marketing campaigns. 

Imagine your big beautiful advertising campaigns are driving amazing sales and ROAS, then you got notifications that your bestsellers are out of stock? Your conversion rate goes down, your sales decline, and your ROAS is less beautiful.

Overstock issues are worse! Product overstocks are because customers do not want them. You cannot putting more ad dollars to solve the problem, and markdowns will kill your profits.

One of the reasons for this inefficiency is because these two functions, marketing and inventory, are totally disconnected. Marketing influences demand, but inventory have no idea.

Furthermore, most inventory planning teams use massive spreadsheets for data analysis (many with tens of thousands rows and often crash). And most planners use a rule system and gut feeling to forecast sales, and rules are never good at predicting the future. 

So I built Conative AI to solve that problem.

Forget the massive spreadsheets, Conative gives you a real-time analytics dashboard that connect marketing and inventory, pulling data from your ERP, Ecommerce platform, and marketing channels, —so you know what’s going on, make better decisions, and you’re always one step ahead of the situation instead of constantly catching up.

Conative AI replaces rule systems with AI deep learning models that leverage not only historical sales but also marketing signals at SKU level, to give your sales forecasts with higher accuracy and less risk, and better yet, zero effort.

For those of you who  don't have time to look at the dashboards, our AI assistant can get instant answers for the complex questions that normally takes a lot of time to figure out, and help you work superfast.

Brands using Conative often see 10–20% ROI increase by focusing marketing resources on the right SKUs that actually make money.

It can make 4 hours of work into less than 15 minutes, and reduces overstock and understock up to 30%, and gives you a clean cash flow report your CFO will actually love.

Conative AI won The SaaS award 2024 and AI intelligence award 2025, and help a lot of Ecommerce brands grow sales while improving efficiency.

We’re at booth SU20—come by for a quick demo. We'll give you real $2 bills for 2-minute demo so you can see how this tool can transform your business.

Thank you.
