Token compression for inventory AI

AI inventory systems process product catalogs, supplier data, historical sales, and demand forecasts. These datasets are large and repetitive — perfect for compression.

Inventory data is compressible

Inventory datasets contain thousands of SKU records. Each record has: SKU ID, product name, category, supplier, quantity on hand, reorder point, lead time, and unit cost. When asking about a specific supplier or category, most SKUs are irrelevant. SuperCompress keeps only the records matching your query.

Example

from supercompress import Compressor
comp = Compressor()

inventory_data = """SKU-001: Widget A, Electronics, Qty: 50
SKU-002: Widget B, Electronics, Qty: 200
SKU-003: Gadget X, Home Goods, Qty: 5"""

query = "Which electronics products need reordering?"
result = comp.compress(inventory_data, query)
# Keeps: SKU-001 and SKU-002 (electronics), drops SKU-003 (home goods)

Frequently asked questions

Does compression handle numeric inventory data?

Yes. Numeric fields like quantity, price, and lead time are preserved when they match the query condition.

Can I compress supplier contracts?

Yes. Contract text compresses well — boilerplate terms are removed, negotiated clauses are kept.
