What merchants use Velocity Pulse for
Shopify merchants use Velocity Pulse to catch declining product sales early and decide what to do about slow-moving inventory, before it turns into dead stock.
AI suggests. Deterministic maths decides.
AI only suggests ways to recover a slowing product and helps explain what changed. Whether a product is slowing, and whether an idea is safe to launch, is decided by deterministic, quantitative mathematics, tested against your margin floor and discount limits.
- AI only suggests recovery possibilities. AI never sets a discount
- Deterministic, quantitative mathematics decides what is safe to launch
- You approve each action, and it rolls back if you cancel
A product's sales are slowing and you are not sure it is real
The problem. A bestseller has had a quiet fortnight. It might be noise, a seasonal dip, or the start of a decline, and a discount on a product that is merely resting costs margin for nothing.
With Velocity Pulse. Velocity Pulse tests the product's recent daily sales against its own baseline. If the slowdown is not yet statistically credible, it says so and nothing is recommended; if it is real, the product's Pulse Score and risk band show it.
Too many products to watch by eye
The problem. In a catalogue of hundreds or thousands of products, the ones that slow down quietly are the ones nobody looks at until they have become dead stock.
With Velocity Pulse. Every product is scored after each catalogue sync and every night, and slowing products are ranked worst risk first with the capital tied up in their stock, on the dashboard and in a weekly digest email.
Deciding when to promote, mark down or clear
The problem. Knowing a product is slowing is half the answer. The other half is whether a markdown, a short flash sale or clearance would actually earn more than doing nothing.
With Velocity Pulse. AI suggests the possibilities; our quantitative models test each one for demand, price response, expected value and confidence against your margin floor. Only validated recommendations can be approved, and ideas that fail are explained in plain words.
When a bundle is the better answer
The problem. Sometimes a slowing product sells better alongside another than at a lower price on its own.
With Velocity Pulse. Velocity Pulse does not build bundles itself. It refers the opportunity to Bundle Optimizer, which evaluates it, and shows you the referral's status.
When to leave a product alone
The problem. Not every dip needs a response, and acting too often trains customers to wait for discounts.
With Velocity Pulse. A recommendation must be expected to earn more than doing nothing, and it respects a cooling-off period after a recent intervention. A product that is only resting is left alone.
Checking why a product stopped converting
The problem. Sales can fall because of price, season, a weak product page or low stock, and each needs a different response.
With Velocity Pulse. Each slowdown comes with an explanation of what changed and the possible causes worth checking. They are presented as possibilities for you to review, because the analysis measures the slowdown, not its cause.
Stock that has already stopped selling needs recovery rather than early action: InventoryIntel is Sparande's app for distressed inventory.
