Who this is for
Owner or buyer who has a reorder sheet and finds it goes stale as sales, seasons and supplier lead times change.
Last quarter's reorder sheet no longer fits this quarter's sales, and a best seller ran out again.
The result
Every month you receive a refreshed reorder sheet from your latest orders and stock, with out-of-stock days removed, a list of every SKU whose reorder point changed, and a backtest on the latest eight weeks against a flat-average baseline that says which wins.
What is included
- Up to 300 SKUs, from a monthly export of order lines and stock levels
- Out-of-stock days removed from demand
- A refreshed sheet with reorder point, order quantity and cover days
- A list of SKUs whose reorder point changed since last month
- A backtest on the latest eight weeks, run on a sheet built only from older data, compared with a flat-average baseline

What we need from you first
- How you export order lines and stock monthly
- How many SKUs
- Which suppliers' lead times change most
- No store login
Never send passwords, keys, customer records or confidential code in the first enquiry. Secure handover is agreed after scoping.
How we check it is done
- Each month the sheet states the export date range and the rows read, and any ten SKUs recompute from the formula.
- Each month every SKU whose reorder point changed is listed with its old and new value.
- Each month the backtest builds the sheet from data older than the latest eight weeks, compares it with the flat-average baseline on those eight weeks, and states which won; won means a lower total absolute error between recommended and sold units across all SKUs.
You read each report and tell us whether the rules and thresholds still suit you. A period counts as delivered when you have the report.
When we would stop or decline
- The sheet's formula is not written down
- The monthly exports stop arriving
- You want us to place orders
Questions
Is this a forecast?
It is a reorder sheet from your recent sales, tested each month against a simple average.
Will you order for me?
No. You place every order.
Does a clean report mean nothing is wrong?
No. It means nothing was found in the inputs you sent, by the checks listed here. It is not assurance, and it does not replace your own checking.
