Single-SKU Reorder Point Calculator

Help small shops nail safety stock and reorder timing for one product

Inspiration: Quality Service

Supply chain analysts review weekly demand swings for one item, combine lead time and promotion plans, and set safety stock plus replenishment timing.

Why Ordinary People Can't Access It

Small sellers lack dedicated supply chain staff, cannot afford complex systems, and find spreadsheet modeling hard; gut-feel ordering causes stockouts or dead stock, with no weekly routine to check each SKU.

AI-Powered Equalizer

The user selects one SKU, pastes 8-12 weeks of sales, lead time, and target service level; AI reads volatility and trend, then returns safety stock, reorder point, and suggested order quantity in plain language.

Key Features

  • One SKU at a time to reduce decision load
  • Paste a simple sales sheet—no modeling skills needed
  • Accounts for demand swings, lead time, and stockout risk
  • Outputs safety stock, reorder point, and suggested order size
  • Weekly reminder to review and a replenishment memo

Target Users

E-commerce micro-sellers, family-run stores, livestream sellers, small brands, and distributors

Business Model

First 3 SKUs free; tiered monthly fee by number of linked SKUs; revenue share with e-commerce ERPs, store plugins, and fulfillment partners
