DAYS OF COVER · INVENTORY & MARGIN ANALYTICS
PERTH, WA

You find out you're out of stock the day a customer tells you.

For Shopify merchants carrying imported stock with long supplier lead times. I build the model that tells you sixteen days earlier — and where the working capital sitting dead on your shelves actually is.

Days of cover — the number of days your stock lasts before you run out. Everything here is built around getting an honest one.

0 10 20 30 40 50 DAYS SINCE LAST DELIVERY REORDER TRIGGER DAY 25 SHELF EMPTY

By day 41 the shelf is empty. The reorder trigger fires on day 25 — the last day a supplier's 16-day lead time still gets stock back before you run dry.

3.2%
of revenue lost to overstock, on average — capital tied up in stock that isn't moving, discounted or written off to clear it.
4.1%
of revenue lost to stockouts, on average — sales walking to a competitor while the reorder is still in transit.
20–30%
carrying cost per year on capital trapped in excess inventory — before the stock has even sold at a discount.
