(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nMacy's has rolled out an AI inventory replenishment tool, per Retail Dive, automating the process of restocking across its store base.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): when a retailer deploys AI inventory, your replenishment forecast becomes algorithmic, not relational. That means you can't rely on relationships with a buyer to pull extra inventory—the system will pull exactly what it predicts. The move is to feed that system clean, historical data on your product: velocity, seasonality, any promotional plans. Better data in = more accurate forecasts = steadier orders. Start auditing your sell-through data now before the AI locks in your patterns.\nWhat that means for you: Macy's automation is a wake-up call: retail is moving from relationship-driven ordering to algorithm-driven ordering. If you're selling into big-box, you need to know your velocity data inside and out because the buyer is no longer the decision-maker—the AI is. Your job is to feed the AI good data so it orders more of you, not less.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Retail Dive: https://www.retaildive.com/news/macys-rolls-out-ai-inventory-replenishment-tool/830751/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
