Why This Exists
Built by Someone Who Did This Job for a Living.
Skuvelo isn't a growth experiment. It's one inventory operator's answer to a problem he kept watching real businesses pay for.
Why This Product Exists
Andrew Gladue ran inventory and installed planning systems at startups and at large public companies. He kept watching capable owners make six-figure stock decisions in a spreadsheet, because the real tools cost more than the mistake.
Skuvelo is that planning discipline, minus the price tag and the six-month rollout. Same arithmetic. Built for a business that doesn't have a planning department, because it's you.
Running your own numbers for a week next to a spreadsheet is the fastest way to see the difference. The product makes the case better than any credential can.
Run the week twice
Same SKU. Same Supplier. One Decision Made Sooner.
Drag the timeline forward. Both scenarios begin with 126 units, demand of 42 units a week, and a 21-day supplier lead time.

By week 3, the approved order is still in transit. The value is visibility: the gap is planned before it becomes an emergency.
