We delivered an AI Inventory Prophet for a Craft Brewery

A craft brewery with a taproom, two distribution accounts, and a festival calendar now has an AI Inventory Prophet ensuring they never run dry on a flagship or waste money over-ordering a seasonal. The system ingests point-of-sale velocity from the taproom, distributor depletion reports, historical seasonal curves, and the upcoming event schedule to forecast demand for each SKU three weeks out. It knows that hazy IPA pours triple during college football weekends and that the sour program slows when temperatures drop. It maps those forecasts against current grain, hop, and yeast inventory, accounts for supplier lead times and minimum order quantities, and auto-generates purchase orders timed so ingredients arrive the day before brew day — not a week early consuming cold storage, not a day late pushing the schedule. The head brewer went from gut-feel ordering and occasional emergency supplier runs to a clean weekly PO queue that just needs a signature.
