I love the inventory diagram that shows every movement, including the suggested ones. You’ve taken something very complex and presented it in a way that’s very clear.

had the stock, but not where buyers were looking. We built a watch that says every Monday what to ship to Amazon and what to buy, before the shelf runs empty.
The first figure is measured. The other two are rules the watch runs on.
The company’s Amazon shelf kept running out. Amazon’s own records showed the warehouse had stock through almost every recent stockout.
An illustration of the pattern in Amazon’s records. The cells are drawn, not the company’s figures.
Day 1 is the day Amazon’s records showed the problem. Every day after it counts, weekends too.
Two more problems sat in the company’s own files, so the watch reads the source systems instead.
The company’s plan expected supplier orders at Amazon within six weeks. They take 8–12 weeks just to reach the warehouse.
The watch counts only stock that is really on its way, so the plan never leans on stock that isn’t coming.
The company’s stock export showed products at zero that the warehouse had in stock.
The watch reads stock straight from the warehouse, so nothing shows as out when it’s on the shelf.
The watch steps through every location one day at a time. It keeps the stores stocked first, then sizes each shipment to Amazon.
Warehouse stock, Amazon stock and open transfers, read fresh each time.
Day by day: sales out, each dated arrival in.
The warehouse keeps 6 weeks for stores and wholesale. Each shipment refills Amazon to 6 weeks.
What to ship and what to buy, on the watch’s page and as a file per route.

We count sales only on days a product was in stock, so a stockout never looks like low demand.
Small shipments from the warehouse keep Amazon selling until a slow supplier order lands.
