On this webinar we chatted with Rick Bashkoff from Lit Alerts. His team checks retail menus multiple times a day across 18 states, so he can tell you when a competitor down the street drops a price or runs out of a brand you both carry. He's also watched Lit Alerts customers build their own dashboards and alerts on that data (some they won't even show him).

Rick from Lit Alerts sees what's moving on retail menus across 18 states, which made him the right person to show us what's possible when you put market signals next to your own store's demand data. Danny Gold, COO of Happy Cabbage, connected both to Claude and ran it live: market checks on pack sizes, a pricing prompt an attendee dropped in the chat, and a full order drafted by Claude, then finished from the live Apex Marketplace inside Happy Buyers.
‍

What we covered:

• Why AI pointed at raw POS data drags buyers back to math that left retailers about 30% overstocked, and the strain-rotation problem behind it
• The four market signals Rick tells buyers to watch, including what to do the day a competitor sells out
• Why brand and pack size matter more than strain names, and how to find the formats you're over- or under-indexed on compared with 15 nearby competitors
• A live pricing check that found a pre-roll at $10 in a $7 market, and how Happy Buyers tells you when not to discount
• A $47k draft order that skipped product lines not selling locally, finished from the live Apex Marketplace in a few minutes instead of five hours
