The Restock Inventory Report gives users an overview of their inventory levels, recent sales data, and restock recommendations. We obtain the inventory data from Amazon's restock report and calculate restock needs based on recent sales data and user settings.

What criteria does ConnectBooks use to suggest reordering?

ConnectBooks generates this report using recent sales data and the information you entered in the inventory settings on the product page.


User Input:

  • Reorder Days: The number of days' worth of stock you aim to have before placing a new order.

  • Safety Stock: The additional amount of stock you want to keep on hand as a buffer to prevent stockouts.

  • Lead Time: The time it takes for you to receive new stock from your supplier.

Sales Calculation:

Additionally, ConnectBooks analyzes your sales data to calculate your average daily sales, excluding any days when you were out of stock. By combining these inventory settings and sales metrics, ConnectBooks can provide an accurate and comprehensive inventory report.
