The operational problem
A stock count needs a demand rate
One hundred units can represent months of supply for one product and only days for another. Sales velocity provides the rate needed to interpret stock.
Supremo uses the rate as an input, not as a claim that future demand is certain.
The workflow
From orders to a daily rate
- 1Read product quantities from recent Shopify orders.
- 2Aggregate units sold during the lookback period.
- 3Divide by the number of days to calculate average daily sales.
- 4Use the rate in stock-cover, safety-stock, and reorder-point calculations.
What Supremo provides
Specific capabilities for this job
- Shopify order-based input.
- Thirty-day automatic calculation window.
- SKU-level daily rate.
- Use in reorder points.
- Use in safety-stock conversion.
- Use in stock-cover reporting.
Fit boundary: Average sales velocity does not automatically predict promotions, seasonal peaks, or future changes in customer demand.
Worked example
If a product sells 240 units during a 30-day window, average daily sales are eight units.
