Stop managing spreadsheets. Start growing your brand.

If you’re already on Fiddle, Filo has access to your data immediately — there’s nothing to import or configure. You can start asking questions and getting recommendations on day one. Most teams spend the first week adjusting how much autonomy Filo has, and by week two it’s part of the daily routine.

That’s the right concern. Filo is designed to meet people where they already work — it shows up inside Fiddle with relevant actions for each person’s role. There’s no separate app to check, no new login, and no training required. If your team uses Fiddle, they’ll see Filo working for them automatically.

Filo is designed to ask first, act second. For anything important — closing a production run, depleting inventory, issuing a PO — Filo shows you exactly what it plans to do and waits for your approval. Every action is logged with a full audit trail. You configure exactly how much autonomy Filo has, and you can tighten or loosen the reins at any time.

Filo doesn’t guess. Every recommendation is grounded in your actual data — real stock levels, real lead times, real production schedules. When Filo isn’t confident, it tells you and explains why. There are no black-box decisions. You can see the data behind every suggestion, and Filo improves over time as it learns your operation’s patterns.

Filo runs entirely within Fiddle’s infrastructure. Your data is never shared with other customers or used to train models for other companies. All communication is encrypted, and Filo respects the same role-based permissions your team already has — if someone can’t see a customer’s pricing in Fiddle, they can’t see it through Filo either.

No. Filo shows up when something needs your attention — a stockout risk, a production record ready to close, a shipment that needs a carrier booked. The rest of the time, it works quietly in the background. Most teams check in once in the morning and then respond to Filo’s prompts as they come up throughout the day.

Alerts tell you something happened. Reports tell you what already went wrong. Filo tells you what’s about to happen and gives you a way to fix it in one click. A low stock alert says "Oats are below reorder point." Filo says "Oats will run out in 9 days based on your production schedule. Here’s a drafted PO for 2,000 lb from your preferred supplier. Approve?"

Yes. Filo learns your operation’s patterns — your typical reorder quantities, your production cadence, which suppliers deliver on time and which don’t. The more your team uses it, the more accurate and useful its recommendations become. It’s not just pattern matching — it’s building an understanding of how your specific business runs.

That’s actually where Filo shines. Take a photo of your production record or upload a scan. Filo reads it, checks that all the required fields and signatures are there, verifies the lots match what was actually used, and closes out the run — with a complete audit trail. No more re-keying data into a spreadsheet at the end of the day.

Filo was built for compliance-heavy operations. Every action is logged with full traceability — who approved it, when, what data it used, and why. For production record closeouts, Filo validates lot numbers, checks required signatures, and flags any discrepancies before anything is finalized. When your auditor asks for documentation, the trail is already there.

Yes. Filo sees inventory across all your Fiddle locations and factors that into every recommendation. If you’re low on an ingredient at your production facility but have excess at a distribution center, Filo will suggest a transfer before recommending a new purchase order. Each team member sees the locations relevant to their role.

Filo works across everything in Fiddle — inventory, production, purchasing, sales, and fulfillment. If you’re connected to Shopify, QuickBooks, Amazon, Faire, or other platforms through Fiddle, Filo sees that data too. When a Shopify order comes in, Filo factors it into demand forecasting and stock recommendations automatically.

Filo is included with Fiddle’s Professional and Enterprise plans. There are no per-query fees or usage limits — your team can use it as much as they need. We’d rather have Filo become indispensable to your daily operations than have you worry about cost every time you ask a question.

Absolutely. Every demo includes a live walkthrough with your actual data, so you can see exactly how Filo would work for your operation. We’ll show you how it handles your specific workflows — batch closeouts, reorder recommendations, shipment prep — not a generic slide deck.
