Frequently asked questions

How can I determine the right reorder point for my retail products?

Analyze your historical sales data and supplier lead times to calculate reorder points. For each product, consider average daily sales, lead time variability, and desired safety stock levels. The template’s reorder point field supports you in documenting these thresholds. You can then place new orders at the optimal time to maintain stock without overstocking.

How do I calculate inventory turnover rate for the template?

Calculate inventory turnover by dividing your cost of goods sold by your average inventory value for a specific period. For example, if you sold $500,000 in goods and maintained an average inventory of $100,000, your turnover rate would be 5. Higher rates generally indicate efficient inventory management. Record this metric in the template to track improvements over time.

What’s a good way to share inventory reports with my executive team?

You can use Lumiform to generate consistent, data-rich reports focusing on key metrics that matter to executives: inventory turnover, shrinkage rates, and total inventory value. Keep presentations concise with visual elements highlighting trends and anomalies. The template’s reporting section ensures you maintain regular communication about inventory performance.
