**Module:** Inventory

Configurable minimum stock rules and forecasted demand reports tell you precisely when to reorder before you run short.

## Copy

Stockouts happen from timing misjudgments, not from demand surprises. The business knew demand was coming but misjudged when inventory would run out. Lead times weren't accounted for. Buffer stock calculations were based on hope rather than data. Each stockout costs sales, disrupts production, and creates emergency procurement that costs more than planned purchasing. The problem isn't that demand was unexpected—it's that timing wasn't managed.

This module makes timing precise. Configurable minimum stock rules define reorder points based on lead times and demand patterns. Forecasted demand reports predict when stock will reach minimums, accounting for seasonal patterns and growth trends. Reordering happens with precision, not guesswork. The result is stock levels that stay adequate because timing gets managed systematically.

For copywriters: Focus on the timing problem—how stockouts come from timing misjudgments, not demand surprises. Position rules and forecasting as the mechanism that makes timing precise. The audience should recognize their own stockouts and how better timing could have prevented them.

## Ideas

- **Angle:** Time restocking with precision—rules and forecasts that ensure stock arrives before it runs out
- **Audience:** Inventory managers, purchasing managers, operations directors, production planners
- **Pain points:** Stockouts, timing misjudgments, emergency ordering, production delays, buffer stock miscalculations
- **Outcomes:** Timely restocking, reduced stockouts, controlled inventory, precise timing, supply chain reliability
- **Vertical spins:** Manufacturing (component supply), food service (ingredient availability), distribution (stock replenishment), retail (shelf availability)
