Each line shows the math: forecasted demand, current stock, supplier lead time, MOQ, and a verdict, order, skip, or monitor. Built for apparel brands working with multi-size, multi-color SKUs, where supplier MOQs and lead times decide whether a season sells through or sits in the warehouse.
Some products are about to sell out, others are dead money, and telling which — and how much to buy — means a spreadsheet every week.
