When days of inventory should worry you

Above 90 days for fast-moving categories is a red flag, you are holding cash in stock that should be in the bank.

Veira segments stock by DOH, so dead stock surfaces automatically for clearance or return-to-supplier.

Worked examples

Stock 1.5m, daily COGS 33k
  • Days ≈ 45 → healthy retail
