Reorder quantities you can check — from sales rate, lead time and fill rate.
You came in because reordering is guesswork on a spreadsheet — you carry dead stock you can’t move and run out of the thing that actually sells — and ‘smart ordering’ from your POS is a reorder point that ignores how a vendor actually performs.
Every suggested quantity is arithmetic your purchaser can follow. Cover days are the vendor’s lead time plus your safety days, widened when that vendor’s deliveries vary. Multiply by the 30-day sales rate, subtract what is sellable on the shelf, then pad for the vendor’s fill rate across your resolved POs with them. Your purchaser queues the number in one click or changes it on the draft.
Our purchaser queues suggested quantities instead of building POs from a blank sheet. Fill rate is in the math because a vendor’s promise and a vendor’s fill rate are two different numbers — and only one of them should drive a reorder.
See where the number comes from.
The demo walks a reorder suggestion from sales rate, lead time and fill rate, plus the phase-out list, walked live by our team, on the working product.
