Next decision: launch viability

Inventory timing needs attention, but you can still check whether the broader launch case is worth funding.

How it works

The reorder point is calculated as your daily sales multiplied by (lead time + safety days). This ensures you have enough stock to cover the period between placing an order and receiving it, plus a buffer for unexpected demand or delays.

The recommended order quantity is calculated to provide approximately 30 days of stock after the lead time and safety buffer are covered. If your supplier has a minimum order quantity (MOQ), the calculator will adjust accordingly.
