Who it is for
Chandleries, boatyard stores, and marine distributors that already run Flash Speed and want a clearer read on stock before they change mins, maxes, or buying habits.
Why marine supply is a poor fit for a single average.
A marine shop is not a supermarket. Thousands of SKUs sit next to each other: weekly runners, seasonal commissioning stock, odd fittings that move twice a year, and the occasional project buy that empties a bin. Treat all of that as one number and you either run out of the wrong thing or bury cash in the back room.
We start by classifying demand. Forecasting, if it happens at all, follows the behaviour of the item — not a generic model dropped on the whole catalog.
