Use average daily or weekly sales, supplier lead time, and a small safety quantity to set the point at which a new order should be considered. Review the number for fast-moving products separately from slow-moving items. A product with irregular demand needs a different approach from a daily essential.
Update the reorder point when sales change, a supplier delays delivery, or the business begins serving a new area. Do not reorder only because a shelf looks empty if the item is not producing enough margin.
KobStore can help a Kenyan seller see which offers receive attention and orders. Use that information with stock records to decide what deserves an earlier reorder and what should be bought cautiously.
