Uploading Your Sales Data
Navigate to Upload Data. Drag and drop your POS or billing register CSV/Excel file. Use the simple dropdowns to match your file columns (Date, Product Name, Quantity Sold, Price, Stock Left). If you don't have a file ready, click "Load Sample Shop Data" to test immediately!
Reading Demand Forecast Charts
Open Demand Forecast. Select any product from the dropdown. Toggle between 7-Day and 30-Day forecast horizons. Solid green line shows past sales history while dashed purple line shows predicted demand. Read the purple AI box for a 2-sentence plain-English summary.
Managing Restock Alerts
Visit Restock Alerts. Any item marked 🔴 Reorder Urgent means your predicted demand will exceed current stock within 7 days. Click "Copy WhatsApp Order" or "Download CSV Order" to send your purchase list directly to your wholesale supplier.
Asking the AI Assistant
Go to Ask Shop AI. Click any quick question chip or type your own question in plain English (e.g. *"Which item is selling best?"* or *"What should I stop stocking?"*). The AI analyzes your full dataset to give instant answers.
