I help founders decide what to reorder, when to pay, and how to avoid stockouts and cash dips.
Weekly buy plan & cash plan. Clear decisions. No chaos.
Delivered weekly via Loom. Built for long lead times.
Best fit: Amazon / Shopify brands with a long lead times and a small SKU count.
Working with: United States / Australia / New Zealand / Canada
Start here: Book a 15-min call → Tell me what’s happening → Get a concrete buy plan
Prefer async? Send me a message and I’ll reply with next steps.
This is for founders who
- sell on Amazon / Shopify (or both)
- have 1-20 SKUs (or a small catalog where a few SKUs drive most revenue)
- buy from China / Asia or any setup with 45–150+ days lead time
- spend on ads and lose momentum when they go out of stock
- don’t have a senior Supply Chain / Procurement lead in-house (and don’t want to hire yet)
If that sounds familiar, you’re likely making purchase decisions based on instinct, and paying for it later.
The problem
Most founders work hard. They just lack a decision system.
You’re trying to connect four moving parts: sales velocity, inventory, lead time, and cash.
When these don’t talk to each other:
- you reorder too late → stockouts and lost revenue
- you reorder too early → cash freezes in inventory
- forecasts feel unreliable → decisions become reactive
- growth increases complexity → control gets worse
In most brands, one wrong PO decision costs $10k–$100k in lost margin, ad waste, or frozen cash.
Example: weekly buy plan (sanitized)
This is the exact type of weekly summary you receive. No formulas shared, just clear decisions.
What you’ll see here (typical):
- current stock and weeks of cover by SKU
- forecasted demand and risk flags
- recommended order quantities
- timing: when to place PO and expected arrival window
- short notes explaining changes vs last week
Key takeaway: you see what to order, when to place the PO, and which SKUs are at risk.
Example: rolling cash flow (sanitized)
This is the exact type of cash planning summary you receive. No formulas shared — just clear visibility into what needs to be paid, and when.
What you’ll see here (typical):
- planned order spend by month (based on the current forecast and purchase plan)
- cash timing: deposits, balance payments, and logistics-related costs (where applicable)
- breakdown by region / supplier group (e.g., CN vs EU)
- cash call view: which months require the highest cash outflow
- short notes on what’s included / excluded (so nothing is ambiguous)
- update cadence: refreshed regularly as forecasts and confirmed orders change
Key takeaway: you see upcoming cash calls by month (deposit/balance/logistics), no surprise dips.
Why me?
I’m not coming from theory. I’m coming from real e-commerce operations where one wrong PO can cost you stockouts, dead cash, and months of recovery.
Scale: Worked with supply chains across brands in the ~$5M to $70M+ revenue range.
Focus: China → US/EU/UK logistics, long lead times, and multi-channel inventory (Amazon + Shopify).
System mindset: I build a weekly decision system - demand, inventory, lead time, and cash in one place, so ordering stops being guesswork.
Direct style: I’m straightforward and data-driven. If your data is messy or your assumptions don’t make sense, I’ll tell you early and fix it with you.
Capacity: I’m currently running SCM for a multi-million dollar brand and take only 3 private clients at a time to protect weekly decision quality.

The outcome
Within 2–4 weeks, you will have:
- a repeatable weekly cadence for purchase decisions
- early warnings for stockouts and cash dips
- clear reorder triggers and buffers (not guesswork)
Within 60–90 days, you will have:
- stable ordering logic tied to cashflow timing
- fewer fire drills and expensive last-minute shipping
- documented rules that someone can follow internally
What you receive every week
Each week you get a short written summary + a Loom explanation.
1) Buy Plan (what to order)
- what SKUs to reorder
- quantities
- PO timing (when to place)
- expected arrival window
- current and projected weeks of stock (WOS)
2) Cash Plan (when money leaves the business)
- deposit and balance schedule (based on your payment terms)
- “cash call” view: how much cash you need and when
3) Risk Map (top 3 risks)
- stockout risk: which SKUs and when
- overstock risk: where cash is getting stuck
- exceptions: promos, supplier delays, unusual demand spikes
4) Founder Action List
- 1–3 decisions for you (max)
- what I need confirmed to execute
Delivery format: Notion summary + Loom video (5–10 minutes).
Optional: async support during the week for urgent questions.
How it works
Step 1: Setup
You share the exports. I clean the SKU mapping and set the baseline planning logic.
Step 2: Weekly cadence
- update sales + inventory + inbound shipments
- review deviations vs forecast
- adjust purchase decisions
- send the weekly plan + Loom
Step 3: Systemize
We document ordering rules, buffers, and decision criteria, so decisions don’t depend on guesswork.
I’m not a fit if:
- you want a spreadsheet to copy and run without accountability
- you can’t provide basic sales and inventory exports
- you want daily micromanagement instead of weekly decisions
- your lead time is short and you can reorder anytime
- you mainly want to debate forecasts instead of making decisions

Emergency mode. Only if you need decisions fast and you can provide clean data immediately.
What I need from you (inputs)
- last 12 months sales export (weekly is enough)
- current inventory on hand by SKU
- inbound shipments / open POs (ETA and quantities)
- lead time and MOQ per SKU (even approximate is fine)
- payment terms (deposit %, balance timing)
Don’t have everything? We start with what you have and build the missing parts as we go.
Transparency and trust + Exit package
I don’t sell spreadsheets. I sell decisions and accountability.
You will always get:
- clear weekly recommendations
- a short explanation of what changed and why
- a visible history of decisions (so nothing is magic)
Data ownership: your raw data is yours.
Model ownership: my model is my intellectual property.
Exit package
If we stop working together, you can request an exit pack:
- last 90 days of buy plans and cash plans
- documented reorder rules and buffers
- weekly operating checklist (so an assistant or junior can run it)
This removes dependency risk while protecting my IP.
FAQ
How much time do I need weekly?
Usually 20-30 minutes. You confirm decisions, I run the system.
Do you place POs for us?
You keep control. I can support execution if you want, but the default is decision support + planning.
Do you work with Amazon + Shopify together?
Yes. Multi-channel is common and usually the root cause of planning chaos.
What if we run promotions?
We plan for it. Promotions without inventory planning are where most brands lose money.
What if my catalog is bigger than 30 SKUs?
We can still do it if revenue is concentrated in a smaller set of hero SKUs.
