Our Story

After spending many years leading operations teams, advising CEOs and creating operational tools at Deloitte and Goodfood (TSX:FOOD), Maxime Lavoie realized that many e-commerce companies had the same urgent need. These companies aren't proactively planning their operations, which results in lost sales and profitability.

Many e-commerce companies are losing sales due to stock-outs and lack of operational planning. These companies can lose up to 5% of their sales. Fortunately, with better sales and operations planning, these companies can reduce out-of-stocks and increase sales.
