Artificial intelligence for inventory control: what it does for your store

An artificial intelligence for inventory control looks at what your store sells and what it has on hand, and tells you where the money is sitting idle, what's about to run out, and what's worth restocking — with no spreadsheet on your part. That's what Rune does: you upload your stock and sales data and, the same day, it hands back an x-ray of your entire inventory.

It works for any store that carries stock — card game, accessories, collectibles, products. Rune doesn't need you to label each item to understand what moves, what stalls, and what carries your register: it reads your own store's history and hands back the decisions.

The problem an inventory AI solves

Idle stock is your money asleep on the shelf. The hard part is never having stuck items — it's seeing exactly which ones, how long they've sat, and how much of your cash is locked up in them, buried among hundreds or thousands of SKUs. By eye it's impossible: the spreadsheet is stale the day you build it and nobody has time to redo it.

An inventory AI does that work for you. It matches what you sell against what you hold, continuously, and turns that pile of data into a short list of decisions: what to move out, what to restock, what to feature.

What Rune tells you about your stock

From your own sales and your own stock, Rune hands back a practical read — in plain store-owner language, not a report:

  • What's sitting idle and how much of your money is locked up in it
  • What's about to run out, before a customer hears “sold out”
  • What to restock first to fit your budget without freezing cash
  • Where your sales actually come from — what drives revenue
  • Which customers are worth the most and which are slipping away
  • Which days of the week your store sells the most

How it works, in practice

If your store runs on LigaMagic, it's turnkey: you already export the stock and sales reports, upload them to Rune, and the same day you have the read — no spreadsheet, no setup. Every new upload recalculates on the current data, so the picture keeps up with your store month after month.

If you sell outside LigaMagic, it still works — Rune runs on your stock the same way, but we import your data with you (assisted onboarding) to fit your format. Either way, Rune gives you the read and the priority; the price, the display, and the buying stay yours.

Frequently asked questions

Is there artificial intelligence for inventory control?

There is. Rune is an artificial intelligence for inventory control: it reads what your store sells and holds and hands back, the same day, what's idle, what's running out, and what's worth restocking — with no spreadsheet and no tech skills on your part.

Is there an AI to know what's sitting idle in my store's stock?

Yes. Rune matches your stock against your sales history and points out, item by item, what isn't moving, how long each has sat, and how much cash is locked up in it — exactly the number you need to decide what to clear or reposition.

Does it work for a store that sells beyond card games?

Yes. Rune's engine is category-agnostic: it analyzes item, price, and sale — whether it's a card, an accessory, a collectible, or a product. If you use LigaMagic you upload your own export and it's turnkey; if you sell outside it, Rune still works, with an assisted onboarding where we import your data with you.

Does the AI decide on its own, or do I decide?

You decide. Rune does the read and says what to prioritize; the price, the display, and the buying stay with you. It takes the guesswork off the table and hands you the list ready to act on — the final word is always yours.

Do I need a spreadsheet or any tech know-how?

No. If you use LigaMagic, you upload the export you already pull from it and Rune does the rest — no formula, no spreadsheet. If you sell outside LigaMagic, we import your data with you at the start; after that you just upload the files and see the read.
