# CoreCaptain

> CoreCaptain is an AI-powered inventory intelligence platform for Shopify merchants. It detects phantom stock, inventory anomalies, and sync discrepancies before they cause refunds, oversells, or lost customers.

## What CoreCaptain Does

CoreCaptain connects to your Shopify store and uses machine learning to monitor inventory health in real time. It finds the gap between what your system says you have and what is actually available — phantom stock — and alerts you before a customer tries to buy something you cannot fulfill.

Key capabilities:
- Phantom stock detection across all SKUs
- AI anomaly detection for unusual inventory movements
- Demand forecasting and reorder point recommendations
- Purchase order management and supplier tracking
- Multi-store and multi-location inventory synchronization
- Inventory health scoring (grades A through D)
- ABC analysis (Pareto classification of SKUs by revenue contribution)
- Safety stock and lead time calculations

## Who Uses CoreCaptain

Shopify merchants with 50+ SKUs, especially those selling across multiple channels (Shopify + Amazon, Etsy, wholesale). Most valuable for brands that have experienced oversells, phantom stock refunds, or silent sync failures between platforms.
