Sales, stock and purchasing from System Five, turned into answers you can act on today: dashboards ready at sign-in, changes found for you, and questions answered in plain English.
The 30-second pitch
System Five holds every sale, item and purchase order, but getting an answer out of it means exporting and rebuilding the picture in Excel. Windward Intelligence puts the answer on screen. It tells you what changed and why, says what to reorder and which store can send it, and answers follow-up questions in plain English, using only your own figures.
The use case · illustrative
Dana owns three stores. She signs in and opens What changed: last week's upholstery sales fell $2,400 at the North store, rated Critical. Under What drove it, one supplier's recliners account for most of the drop, and the likely cause is that they've been out of stock.
She opens the Reorder advisor. The recliner is marked Overdue, with a sentence saying why. Suggested transfers shows the South store has four to spare, so she moves them today instead of waiting on the supplier.
Then she types into Ask your data: "Which suppliers shipped late this quarter?" The chart comes back in seconds. She uses Email this to send it to her buyers, and each of them sees only their own stores.
Why it matters: she went from a number to a cause to an action in ten minutes, without an export, a pivot table or a call to IT.

Company dashboards · Daily recap · Comparative salesAfter each refresh, What changed surfaces up to five changes big enough to matter, rated Warning or Critical. It names the stores, categories, customers, salespeople, suppliers or items that drove each one.
✨ What changedType a question and get a short answer and a chart in seconds. It answers only from your own figures, and when something isn't in your data it says so instead of guessing.
✨ Ask your data · Build a report · ✨ Connected assistantsThe Reorder advisor lists every item that's due, the most urgent first, with a sentence saying why. Suggested transfers use stock you already own first, and Inventory accuracy flags counts that don't add up before you promise them.

Ship what you can today, chase what's late, and call the customers drifting away.
