Love the idea! Would gladly pay for it if it supported physical product sales. i.e., ability to add COGS, have a gross margin, etc. Correct me if I am wrong but your current iteration is more geared towards SaaS startups.

we started with SaaS, so we currently have the most functionality there. However, we are rapidly building out that kind of support. We already support linking expenses for each sale you make to support basic COGS and will have much more soon.

Can second labaraka - the inventory-holding startup world needs a product like this desperately! To the developers: I included my contact information and a writeup about our fashion brand's pain points in the signup page, and I'd be happy to give feedback about the product at some point - just send me a ping!

thanks! we already have a couple of fashion startups using us that have both seasonal (fixed amount) and ongoing (based on sales) inventory purchasing and replenishment expenses to model. We support a number of basic scenarios like that, but inventory-related modeling is definitely something we're focused on improving. I'll keep an eye our for your message, and also feel free to write me any time at [email protected].

Thanks for the response. Will keep an eye out for that functionality. Fyi, would be willing to pay $100-150/month to give my sales team the ability to run scenarios.

Would love to hear more about specific scenarios you're looking to run. You can email me [email protected] if you'd like to talk more!
