Copy-paste prompt
Help me plan an in-house inventory planning tool before we build anything. Stock locations: [3PLs] plus Amazon FBA in [marketplaces]. Demand sources: [website, Amazon, retail]. 1. List the data feeds we need from each location and how often to pull them. 2. Propose ABC grouping rules and two forecast methods I can switch per product and channel. 3. Define red/amber/green alert rules from days of cover and lead time. 4. Design the reorder suggestion: respect MOQ and pallet quantities, and suggest 3PL-to-Amazon transfers separately from supplier orders. 5. POs are drafts only, for my approval in [accounting system]. Ask me for anything you need before you start.

What they did
The CEO of a plant-protein brand built an in-house inventory planning tool with Claude Code and Grok Bot on top of the company's existing accounting system. It tracks stock across UK and US 3PLs plus Amazon UK, EU and US, groups SKUs ABC-style (or by region, product or category), takes demand from website, Amazon and retail sales, forecasts with methods you can adjust per product and channel, and shows red, amber and green alerts per product.
How it went
He says it suggests supplier orders based on MOQs and pallet quantities, plus 3PL-to-Amazon transfers, and drafts POs straight into Xero for the team to approve. He calls it 'a big project' but 'very doable', and says the biggest win is being able to make small changes so it works the way their planner likes.
