Overview

What it looks at, what it flags, what comes back, what you can change.

What it looks at
Unit sales over two windows, and what is on hand
  • Unit sales over your short window
  • Unit sales over your long window
  • Current inventory quantity, every product in the catalog
What it flags
Six tiers, from out of stock to overstock
  • Zero inventory with recent sales, checked first
  • Critical, Scarce and Low, against the cutoffs you set
  • Healthy up to your ceiling, Overstock above it
What comes back
A ranked table, not a stock report
  • Days on hand at each velocity window
  • A tier on every product
  • Sorted most at-risk first
What you can change
Six settings, per run, without editing the skill
  • Short and long sales windows
  • Critical, Scarce, Low and Healthy cutoffs
  • Changed on a run, not in the template

Run Settings
The six things this skill asks you to set.
Lookback days short
How many days the short-term sales window covers. Shorten it to react faster to a demand spike.
Lookback days long
How many days the long-term sales window covers. Lengthen it on products that sell in bursts.
Doh critical threshold
Below how many days on hand a product is flagged Critical. Raise it if your restock lead time is long.
Doh scarce threshold
Below how many days on hand a product is flagged Scarce. The tier between Critical and Low.
Doh low threshold
Below how many days on hand a product is flagged Low. Your early warning band.
Doh healthy threshold
The upper edge of Healthy. Anything past it is tagged Overstock.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is some text inside of a div block.

The skill divides current inventory by daily sales velocity, taken from both a short and a long window. Every product in the catalog gets a days-on-hand figure at each rate, rounded to one decimal place.

Why use both a 7-day and a 30-day sales window?

A short window reacts to recent demand; a longer one smooths out noise. The skill reports days on hand at both, so you can see where the two disagree before you commit to a purchase order.

How do I find products about to go out of stock on Amazon?

The table is sorted by short-window days on hand ascending, so the most at-risk products sit at the top. Products with zero inventory and recent sales are tagged Out of Stock before any other tier is applied.

Does this skill change anything in my account?

Does this skill change anything in my account?

Can I set my own days-on-hand thresholds?

Yes. The Critical, Scarce, Low and Healthy cutoffs are all settings on the run, so a product line that turns in days and one that turns in months can be judged on the same page.

How do I find overstocked products?

Anything above your Healthy ceiling is tagged Overstock. That list is where working capital is sitting, and it is the starting point for a promotion or price review.

Keep spend in line with stock

Ads keep spending while a product runs out, then keep paying after it is gone. This keeps spend and stock in step.
