Stock Reorder Point Calculator

Reorder point = (average daily sales × lead time) + safety stock. Below it, you order. Above it, you wait.

Why reorder point matters for SMEs

Stockouts kill sales. Overstock kills cash. Reorder points balance both.

Veira sends a WhatsApp alert the moment any SKU drops below its reorder point.

Worked examples

25/day, 4-day lead, 20 safety
  • Reorder at 120 units. Order ≈ every 5 days.

Frequently asked questions

How do I set safety stock?
Start at 25% of lead-time demand. Increase if supplier reliability is poor.
Does seasonality affect it?
Yes. Recompute daily sales for the season.
What if lead time varies?
Use the higher (worst-case) lead time when setting reorder point.
Does Veira automate this?
Yes. Veira sets per-SKU reorder points from 90 days of POS history.
Is this the same as EOQ?
No. EOQ tells you how much to order. ROP tells you when.

Exactly what I needed. Calculated costs before ordering and saved a fortune on import duties.
