artificial intelligence for SMBs

AI for small businesses: practical uses in sales and inventory

AI is useful in an SMB when it works on organized data: orders, inventory, customers and payments. These are the uses you can apply today and what you need first.

Short answer: in an SMB, AI is mostly useful to ask about the operation in plain language (how much did I sell, what is running out, which orders are late), write sales copy and flag orders that need attention. To answer well it needs data organized in a system, not scattered across chats and Excel sheets.

Data first

An AI can't tell you which product will run out if your inventory lives in three Excel sheets. The first step is to have orders, inventory, customers and payments in one system. Then AI can read the operation and answer with your business's real numbers.

How to start without wasting money

  1. Pick a concrete problem: late orders, stockouts or time spent answering sales questions.
  2. Organize the data for that problem in a system.
  3. Test the AI with real questions and check the answers against your data.
  4. Define who can see what: not every user should query sales or receivables.

What AI does not replace

AI helps find and summarize information, but pricing, purchasing and credit decisions remain your team's. Always check the numbers before acting.

Pricing

You can start free with 15 orders per month, no credit card. Paid Katuq Platform plans start at US$27 per month, scale with the sales you process and do not charge per user or per warehouse. Prices are published at katuq.com/en/precios.
