Founding Partner program

Get a data-backed view of what SKUPilot would have recommended—and why.

SKUPilot is selecting 10 importers, distributors, and wholesalers for a 90-day historical engagement. For $1,000, we connect the agreed ERP data, replay past planning decisions, and deliver a comprehensive opportunity report by Day 90.

You receive milestones and AI assistant access as soon as the data is ready. If the historical work establishes enough confidence, optional live use is $500/month—including an agreed Founding Partner AI allowance—with regular feedback to our team.

Data and decision control

Connect SKUPilot without replacing your ERP.

We agree on scope and access before onboarding. Your team stays in control.

  • SKUPilot works from a read-only connection or an approved data export.
  • Your ERP remains the system of record.
  • SKUPilot does not create purchase orders or modify your ERP records.
  • Your team remains responsible for every planning and purchasing decision.

Direct Acumatica connection

Using Acumatica? Connect SKUPilot directly with read-only access for the 90-day historical engagement.

Using another ERP? We can work with most systems that provide suitable API access or begin with an approved data export.

How we handle your operational data

Your operational data stays private to your company.

SKUPilot processes your data in a controlled cloud environment—not through public consumer AI tools. It is never made available to other customers or used to train general-purpose AI models.

  • Used only to run your engagement and operate SKUPilot for your company.
  • Access is limited to authorized SKUPilot personnel and necessary service providers.
  • We do not sell your operational data or provide it to third parties for their own use.
  • If you do not continue, we delete the operational data you provided.

Phase 1 · Historical validation

From first call to opportunity report in 90 days.

  1. 1

    Book a free 20-minute call

    We learn how your operation works, answer your questions, and determine whether the program makes sense. No data is required to book.

  2. 2

    Confirm selection and begin the engagement

    If selected, we confirm the $1,000 engagement, historical period, minimum dataset, ERP access method, and onboarding schedule.

  3. 3

    Run the 90-day historical engagement

    We prepare the agreed data and deliver milestones as the work progresses. AI assistant access begins when the data is ready; the opportunity report and executive review are delivered by Day 90.

Phase 2 · Live Founding Partnership

Continue with SKUPilot in live operations.

Phase 2 is optional and can begin before Day 90 once the historical work has established enough confidence. You use SKUPilot alongside live operations and provide regular feedback as we work closely with your team.

Live use with your team

Work together on live operations.

Use SKUPilot beside your existing process for purchase recommendations, projected inventory risks, planning alerts, and AI-assisted analysis. We work closely with your team to review results and improve how the platform supports your operation. SKUPilot remains advisory and does not place orders.
