Inventory planningBuy the right amount, at the right time
Too little stock loses sales and Amazon rank. Too much ties up cash and risks expiry. We build an inventory plan that balances both.
Inventory planning answers three questions for every SKU: how much should we keep, when should we reorder, and how much should we order? The answers depend on sales velocity, supplier lead times, transit times, seasonality and how much cash you have.
Logi-Vault builds and maintains your inventory plan using real data from your channels and our warehouse: daily sales, stock on hand, inbound shipments and actual lead times. We set reorder points and safety stock per SKU and turn them into a purchasing calendar.
For products with best-by dates we plan around remaining shelf life too, so you don't buy more than you can sell before it expires.

Frequently asked questions
What is inventory planning?
Inventory planning is deciding how much stock to hold and when and how much to reorder for each product, so you meet demand without overstocking.
How is it different from demand planning?
Demand planning forecasts how much you'll sell. Inventory planning uses that forecast to decide stock levels and purchase orders.
Do you place orders with my suppliers?
We prepare the purchase plan; you or we place orders, depending on what you prefer.
Do I need to use your warehouse?
No, but using it means the plan runs on live stock and receiving data.
