Enable Strategy Lab
Inventory & Reorder Lab
Know exactly what to reorder, and how much cash is sitting on your shelves.
Stock that runs out costs you the sale. Stock that sits unsold costs you cash. The Inventory & Reorder Lab tracks every item you hold - unit cost, current stock, how fast it moves, how long a reorder takes to arrive, and the safety buffer you want - and calculates, per item, the reorder point, days of stock left, and the cash currently tied up in it. A dashboard rolls it all up: total inventory value, how many items need reordering right now, and a reorder-urgency ranking so you know what to action first.
Included in All Access, or unlock it on its own.
