Free tool · Cratesignal
Plan a reorder without guessing the PO.
Drop in your current stock, daily sell-through rate, supplier lead time, and the safety buffer you want to hold. The tool computes the recommended reorder date and quantity live as you type — no signup, no external service.
Recommended reorder date
Today
Stock would run out before delivery
Recommended reorder qty
480 units
450 lead + 30 buffer
Days of cover
20.0 days
Current stock ÷ daily demand
Lead-time demand
450 units
Sell-through × lead time
In plain English
At 15 units/day with 30-day lead time, reorder by Today for 480 units.
Math: qty = ceiling(daily × lead) + safety, and date = today + (cover − lead) days.
How the math works
Days of cover is currentStock ÷ dailySellThrough. Reorder quantity is the lead-time demand plus the safety buffer: ceil(dailySellThrough × leadTime) + safetyStock. The recommended reorder date is today plus max(0, daysOfCover − leadTime) days — when stock would otherwise run out before the new shipment arrives.
The tool runs entirely in your browser; nothing is sent to a server or stored. If sell-through is zero, cover is treated as infinite and no reorder is recommended. If stock is already zero, the tool says to reorder now.
