This week, we’ve spoken with several entrepreneurs, and a common issue has come up: understanding product trends and customer behavior. One example stands out— a business owner managing over 2,000 customers each month. His team tracks orders and inventory across 1,500 SKUs, but here’s the challenge: they source products from Asia, requiring orders to be placed 12 to 16 weeks in advance.

The real problem? While the business is growing, the owner has no clear insight into which products or customers are driving that growth, whether there are any seasonal patterns, or how to optimize his inventory. It takes him hours to download and analyze information from his QuickBooks system.

As a wholesaler, he is managing growth purely by reacting to active customer orders one after the other. The sheer volume makes it nearly impossible to track behavior for individual customers or detect trends. Inventory forecasting is based on past equivalent calendar days, meaning it’s a best guess, rather than data-driven. Every morning, there’s the looming fear of running out of stock for a crucial SKU, putting the business in a vulnerable position.

The solution isn’t always an ERP or CRM.

Traditional ERP or CRM platforms may not be the most efficient or cost-effective option for every business. That’s where a specialized, data-driven platform like Grabb.AI comes in— providing a focused, scalable solution without the complexities of larger systems. Within just 14 days, your business can be actively learning from its own data, allowing you to take action rather than endless list-building.
