Days of stock, stock value and dead stock

Everything NorthProfit calculates for your stock today, per variant and with a source.

  • Days of stock and “runs out on” date

    Per variant: how many days the stock lasts and when it runs out. A bar with a marker shows your lead time. Returned goods do not count as sold.

  • Stock value, estimated

    Stock value at purchase and retail price, plus the value of dead stock and the revenue at risk: the revenue that would be missing over the next 30 days if a variant runs out before then, calculated with your past sales per day (based on the last 30, 60 and 90 days). All estimated; if a purchase price is missing, the value is marked provisional.

  • Status and filters

    Filters for critical, low, healthy, overstock, dead stock and negative stock. You set the lead time, the safety factor and the thresholds yourself.

  • ABC classes

    A are the variants behind the first 80 percent of your revenue, B the next 15 percent, C the last 5 percent. So you see where an empty shelf costs the most.

  • Stock correction with a log

    If your count differs from what the shop reports, you correct the stock in NorthProfit with a note. Every change appears in the movement log.

  • Goods received and restocking

    You book goods received from purchase documents as a stock movement. If goods are put back into stock after a Shopify refund, NorthProfit picks that up automatically.

What the inventory view does today and what it does not

NorthProfit reads stock from Shopify, one number per variant, as Shopify reports it. There is no stock sync for WooCommerce, Shopware, eBay and TikTok Shop. NorthProfit does not write purchase orders to suppliers and does not manage batches, serial numbers or stocktakes.

Questions about inventory

Short, with the calculation.

How does NorthProfit calculate days of stock?
NorthProfit takes your sales per day from the last 30, 60 and 90 days and weights the most recent period most (default: 50, 30 and 20 percent). Returned goods do not count as sold. Stock divided by these daily sales gives the days of stock, and from that the “runs out on” date.
When does a variant count as dead stock?
When it has stock but has not sold in the last 90 days. NorthProfit shows the value of dead stock so you can see how much money sits on the shelf.
When is stock critical or low?
By default critical at 7 days of stock or less, low up to 21 days and overstock from 180 days. You set the lead time (1 to 365 days) and these thresholds yourself under Profit › Costs › Inventory.
Which channels count for stock?
NorthProfit reads stock from Shopify today. There is no stock sync for WooCommerce, Shopware, eBay and TikTok Shop.
How accurate is the stock value?
It is estimated: stock times your stored purchase price, next to the value at retail price. If a purchase price is missing, the value is marked provisional. It is not meant for accounting.
