Stock Reorder
Plan Your Restocking Before Items Run Out — Never Lose a Sale to Empty Shelves
The Stock Reorder section is your restocking planner. It helps you decide what to buy, how much to buy, and how much it will cost — before you go to the wholesaler. No more panic-buying, no more overspending, and no more running out of fast-selling items.
In many Ugandan businesses, restocking happens randomly. A shop owner notices something is missing and rushes to buy it — often at a higher price, in wrong quantities, or at the wrong time. The Stock Reorder section helps you move from reactive buying to planned buying.
What You Record
-
Date — When you plan to restock
-
Item Name — What product needs restocking
-
Quantity Needed — How many units you need to order
-
Estimated Unit Cost — How much you expect to pay per item
-
Estimated Total — Quantity × Estimated Unit Cost
-
Weekly Restock Estimate — How much you expect to spend on restocking per week
How to Use It
Look at your Stock Tracker to see which items are running low or completely sold out. List those items in the Stock Reorder table. Estimate how much each item costs from your supplier and calculate the total you'll need.
Use the Weekly Restock Estimate row to plan how much cash you need to set aside each week for buying stock. This prevents you from spending all your earnings and running out of capital for restocking.
