Expected Outcomes

Measurable results our retail & e-commerce clients achieve with stock reorder automation.

Down 70%

Stockout Rate

Demand-driven reordering has dramatically reduced the lost sales from out-of-stock items, particularly for steady sellers that previously fell through the cracks.

Down 40%

Overstock Reduction

Better demand forecasting and seasonal adjustment has reduced the clearance markdowns required to move excess seasonal inventory.

Improved by 20%

Cash Flow Efficiency

Optimised order quantities and timing mean less working capital is tied up in excess inventory at any given time.

The Challenge

Common stock reorder automation challenges facing retail & e-commerce businesses.

Best-selling items going out of stock online while physical stores have excess inventory because channels are not managed as a unified pool

Seasonal items ordered too late because the purchasing manager relies on memory rather than data to anticipate seasonal demand shifts

Quantity discount temptation leading to overordering of slow-moving items that ultimately require deep markdowns to clear

No landed cost visibility when ordering from international suppliers, leading to margin erosion when exchange rates and freight costs are not factored into reorder decisions

Implementation

How we implement stock reorder automation for your retail & e-commerce business.

SKU-Level Inventory Monitoring

Stock levels are tracked at the SKU level across all sales channels including physical stores, Shopify, marketplace listings, and warehouse locations, with real-time updates from POS transactions and online orders.

✓ Tools: Shopify, Square, Make

Demand Forecasting and Reorder Calculation

Reorder requirements are calculated using sales velocity data, seasonal trends, promotional calendar events, and supplier lead times, with the system distinguishing between steady sellers and seasonal items.

✓ Tools: Make, Google Sheets, Shopify

Purchase Order Generation and Margin Protection

Purchase orders are generated at optimal quantities that balance supplier minimum orders, quantity discounts, carrying costs, and cash flow constraints, with landed cost calculations that protect target margins.

✓ Tools: Make, Xero, Gmail

Receiving, Allocation, and Channel Distribution

Received stock is allocated across sales channels based on demand patterns, with high-velocity items prioritised for replenishment at locations or channels where sell-through is fastest.

✓ Tools: Shopify, Make, Google Sheets

Why Choose Clever Ops

What makes our stock reorder automation solution different.

Omnichannel Inventory Visibility

Stock levels across all physical and online sales channels are visible in a single view, enabling reorder decisions based on total business demand rather than individual channel views.

Velocity-Based Reordering

Reorder points and quantities are calculated from actual sales velocity data, ensuring fast sellers are replenished promptly while slow movers are not over-ordered.

Seasonal Demand Adjustment

The system applies seasonal factors based on historical sales patterns, adjusting reorder timing and quantities to anticipate demand shifts rather than react to them.

Landed Cost Calculation

For imported goods, reorder decisions factor in exchange rates, freight costs, and import duties to calculate true landed cost and protect target margins.

Retail & E-commerce Compliance

Includes Australian Consumer Law (ACL) compliance features, GST calculations, and product safety record management.
