Sales Velocity and Inventory Forecasting

Where to Find It

Navigate to Financial → Sales Velocity from the main menu.

Understanding the Columns

The report shows each product alongside several rolling sales periods and a forward-looking stock estimate.

Sales Velocity Columns

• Last 7 Days — Units sold in the past week
• Last 30 Days — Units sold in the past month
• Last 60 Days — Units sold in the past two months
• Last 90 Days — Units sold in the past quarter
• Last 360 Days — Units sold over the past year

Reading across these columns tells you whether sales are trending up, down, or holding steady. For example: if a product sold 143 units over the past year but only 3 in the last 30 days, its recent velocity has slowed significantly.

Stock and Forecast Columns

Scroll right to see the inventory and forecast data:

• On Hand / FBA Available — Current stock in your warehouse or FBA
• Estimated Days Until Out of Stock — How many days of stock remain at the current sales pace

The Estimated Days Until Out of Stock column is the key output of this report. It calculates your remaining runway based on recent sales velocity, so you know exactly which products need attention.

How to Read the Forecast

• A product showing 366 days has over a year of stock — no action needed
• A product showing 47 days will run out in about six weeks — worth monitoring
• A product showing 5 days or 20 days is a critical reorder alert — action needed now

Pro tip: Sort by Estimated Days Until Out of Stock (ascending) to immediately surface your most urgent reorder candidates at the top of the list.

Using This for Replenishment

The Sales Velocity Report is designed to feed into your reorder and production planning workflow:

1. Identify products with fewer than 30–60 days of stock remaining
2. Cross-reference with recent sales trend (is velocity increasing or decreasing?)
3. Place a purchase order or production order for the required quantity
4. Target your desired stock buffer (e.g., 60 days, 90 days) and order the difference

For example:

• Product has 20 days of stock remaining
• You want a 60-day buffer
• At current velocity of 3 units/week → order approximately 18 units to reach 60 days

Combining With FBA Data

If you use Amazon FBA, the report also shows your FBA Available units alongside your warehouse stock. This lets you see your total inventory position across both locations in one view.

A Note on Customization

The Sales Velocity Report was originally built at the request of a specific customer and reflects their preferred way of viewing velocity data. If your business needs different time windows, additional calculations, or a different layout, Analision's team can customize reports to fit your workflow. Reach out to discuss your requirements.
