Stocking out of a best seller is the most expensive mistake you don't see.
Dead stock at least sits there reminding you it's a problem. A stockout is invisible: the sales simply don't happen, the customer buys from someone else, and the only trace is a flat line where a winner used to be. The inventory-health tool finds the stock you bought too much of. This one is the other side of the shelf — a weekly cockpit for the styles you actively reorder, telling you what, and how much, to buy before it's gone.
A watchlist, rolled up by style
You don't reorder your whole catalog — you reorder the styles you carry on purpose. So the cockpit works from a watchlist, and it groups each style's sizes into a single card: total stock, 30-day units sold, and one number that matters most — the suggested buy. Expand the card and the sizes tell you which sizes to order, each with its own stock, sell-through, average selling price, and status. Sort the whole board worst-first, or flip to the priority view to see your best sellers ranked by units sold. It's the difference between scrolling a thousand SKUs and looking at the twenty decisions that actually move the week — the same short list a sharp buyer keeps in their head, made explicit and re-costed every time the data refreshes.
Target stock, not a guess
The buy math is deliberately simple, because simple is what gets used every week. Take a size's 30-day sales, multiply by a target-cover multiplier, and that's your target stock. The gap between that target and what's on hand is the quantity to order — never below zero. A days-of-supply threshold flags anything that will runLow before you'd normally reorder, and anything at zero as Out. Turn the multiplier and the threshold in the demo below and the whole plan re-costs instantly — no refetch, no spreadsheet.
One gate keeps the plan honest: the minimum margin. If a size's realized price minus its cost falls under your floor, it's flagged "Low $" and dropped from every buy total — because restocking a size you barely make money on is how a catalog quietly bloats. It's an opinionated default, and it's the difference between a reorder list and a reorder list worth acting on.
About the data below: this demo is branded West Coast Deals because that's the operation it was built for, but every figure in it is invented — a fixed sample catalogue, not live or historical trading data. The logic is the real thing; the numbers are not.

Know where a style actually sells
Units sold is only half the picture — where they sold decides what you actually kept. Tap a style's sales and the channel breakdown splits its units across every marketplace with the real take-rate applied, so you see gross next to true payout. A size that looks like a strong reorder on volume can look very different once you notice most of it moves on the channel that keeps the least. Replenishment and channel economics are the same decision.
And stop reordering the dead
The flip side of buying winners is not buying corpses. The Review queue surfaces every style with no stock and no sales — the ones that don't belong on any purchase order no matter how empty the shelf — so a weekly buy also becomes a weekly prune. Overstock and stockout are the same problem measured from opposite ends, and a cockpit that shows both turns "what do I buy this week" from a spreadsheet guessing game into a ranked, costed list you can act on in minutes.
Build your buy plan
This demo is one build for one business. A replenishment tool for you would use your lead times, your target cover, and your margin rules — and would work just as well for parts, ingredients, or raw materials as it does for sizes.
