Connect with me for daily eCommerce insights. 

As ex-Head of Growth at Turo ($20M ad spend managed), now CEO of Polar, I share actionable tips from my work with the 3,051+ brands we support like Polène, the Frankie Shop, Albion Fit, and Soko Glam.

$87,000 in sales lost last quarter… because 3 SKUs went out of stock. 

That’s the cost of running inventory from exports and instinct. 

So a few weeks ago, I asked our team: “What if Polar didn’t just show data, but acted on it?” 
We didn’t want another dashboard. 

We wanted real AI agents solving high-stakes, specific problems for Shopify brands. 

📦 Meet Polar’s AI Inventory Planner

It works like this: 
→ Flags SKUs before they stock out, with lead-time buffers built in 
→ Spots slow movers before they trap cash in your warehouse 
→ Generates reorder suggestions from live demand + vendor timelines 

Early testers have cut stockouts by 35% and freed up 20% more working capital. 

Comment STOCK to access the beta.
