How Ornot Saves 2 Hours On Weekly Inventory Management With Genie

“If you don’t have sufficient inventory, you can’t drive sales. Genie’s detailed inventory and sales insights have helped us effortlessly eliminate stockouts.” – Matt Quann, Founder and Creative Director of Ornot

About

Ornot is an environmentally conscious clothing brand offering well-designed, affordable apparel for cyclists who prefer minimally branded products. Running its production in the U.S. with recycled fibers, merino wool, and deadstock fabric, Ornot is a Climate Neutral-certified business on the way to redefine the standard for sustainable manufacturing.

Challenge

Ornot needed an intuitive solution with actionable data to prevent stockouts

Ornot offers more than stylish clothing – it promises highly sustainable apparel made to last. To uphold this benefit across hundreds of items in multiple sizes, Ornot needs two to eight months to produce its eco-friendly designs.

While these long manufacturing cycles ensure high-quality pieces, they also make it challenging for Matt Quann, Founder and Creative Director of Ornot, to replenish inventory on time. As a result, popular items often run out of stock, leading to lost revenue.

To consistently meet demand and drive company growth, Matt and JP G, Ornot’s Production Manager, began searching for a tool that could help them:

1. Easily gauge the number of days left before running out of stock for each product
2. Create timely purchase orders based on lead times and SKU popularity

Matt test-drove a few Shopify solutions, but none offered accessible inventory insights at an affordable price. Only one met Ornot’s inventory needs with its granular, real-time data and intuitive sales rankings — and that standout was Genie.

“We wanted to know what styles and sizes were most likely to run out of stock and how much time we had before this happened. This data could help us better plan upcoming purchase orders to increase revenue.” – Matt Quann, Founder and Creative Director of Ornot

Solution

Ornot seamlessly meets customer demand with Genie’s granular inventory insights

Genie seamlessly integrated all of Ornot’s sales and inventory data, providing actionable stock insights in just a few hours. When Matt opens Genie’s dashboard, he can easily evaluate the inventory health of each product in every size — from the items on hand to the number of days left to replenish before running out of stock. This allows him to get ahead of inventory shortages without adjusting Ornot’s manufacturing processes or compromising its sustainability practices.

Even more, Genie analyzes the sales for every SKU with a grade from A to C, helping JP prioritize best-sellers running low on stock during high-demand seasons. Using Genie’s granular data and intuitive sales rankings, he can create purchase orders directly within the platform and export them in a single click. This functionality not only eliminates the risk of inaccuracies but also saves valuable time switching between different tools.

“Genie has helped us streamline our inventory management process with centralized data and one-click purchase order creation directly from our inventory table.” – JP G., Production Manager at Ornot
