FAQs
What is a reorder point, and why does it matter?
A reorder point is the stock level at which you should place a new order to avoid running out. It’s calculated based on your average daily sales, the time it takes for new stock to arrive (lead time), and any safety stock you want as a buffer. Knowing this number is crucial because it helps you maintain a steady supply without over-ordering, saving both time and money.
How do I determine my average daily sales?
To find your average daily sales, look at your sales data over a specific period—say, a month or a quarter—and divide the total units sold by the number of days in that period. If your sales fluctuate a lot, consider using a shorter, more recent timeframe for accuracy. This tool relies on that number to give you precise reorder timing, so try to keep it updated.
What if I don’t have a safety stock level?
No worries at all! Safety stock is just an optional buffer to protect against unexpected demand spikes or delays. If you don’t have one or aren’t sure what to set, leave it at zero. The tool will still calculate your reorder point and timing based on your other inputs, keeping things straightforward.
