Track your bundles performance within Prediko by syncing your bundles.app or uploading your Shopify bundles via CSV.
Use ABC analysis to pair slow-moving C-items with bestselling A-items for stronger BFCM bundles.
Discover exactly how much of each underlying SKU you need to order for your Bundles, including pack-size scaling if you're ordering or shipping bundles in cases.
Capitalise by Clearing Excess Stock
Use preset views like “Over Days of Cover or Deep Overstock” within the Buy Table to see overstocked products that need your attention.
Analyse the historical sales and profitability of excess SKUs to determine a course of action (e.g. the level of discounting needed to clear stock).
Your AI-powered demand plan will help you adjust expectations of revenue from those excess SKUs.
Real-Time Sync, Reports, & Alerts To Stay On BFCM Target
Prediko automatically syncs inventory and sales levels from Shopify as sales happen, so BFCM decisions are never based on stale stock data.

Set alerts at your preferred frequency, or ask Pia to schedule key reports to Slack, WhatsApp, or email.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I start prepping inventory for Black Friday?
Start 8-12 weeks out. That gives you time to review last year's BFCM data, place POs with enough lead time, and still adjust if a supplier slips.
How much extra stock should I order for BFCM?
Most brands plan for 20-30% above their forecast on bestsellers to cover demand spikes, but the right number depends on your own sell-through history, which is exactly what Prediko's demand plan calculates for you instead of guessing.
How do I decide which products to stock up on?
Use an ABC analysis: your top ~20% of SKUs by revenue typically drive ~80% of sales. Prioritize restocking those first, and stock up on slower movers.
What happens if I run out of stock during Black Friday?
Stockouts don't just cost the sale, most shoppers who hit an out-of-stock item buy elsewhere. Prediko's Buy Table flags at-risk SKUs before they hit zero, not after.
What do I do with leftover stock after BFCM?
Use your Excess view to spot slow-moving inventory, then bundle it with bestsellers or run a targeted discount instead of letting it sit as dead stock into the new year.
