Why this qty · Fig Leaf Candle 220 g

Sells about 0.7 a day across 6 stores: 51 in three months, counted over the 78 days it could be bought. None in the warehouse, nothing on order. 60 days needs about 39. Rounded up to the pack of 6: 42.

Stokk AI: Raised 42 to 108. Last year it sold 2.6 times its usual rate from November. This order lands around 15 Nov, so it is bought for the season.

01Overnight

You didn’t open a shop to spend Sunday night in a spreadsheet.

So Stokk does the rounds at three in the morning instead, the way your best buyer would if they could hold every number in their head at once.

  1. 03:00

    It reads the day from your ERP.

    Every sale, delivery, transfer and stock movement from every store, straight from the system your accountant already trusts. Nothing to export, nothing to paste.

    It looks at every shelf.

    A shelf is one item at one store where it sells. Stokk knows which are empty this morning, and which will be before an order could land.

    168 selling shelves across six stores. 28 are empty, and Harbour St is having the worst week.
  3. 03:30

    It works out what really sells.

    Days an item sat at zero don’t count as days nobody wanted it. Seasonal lines are read against last year, so the order is sized for the season ahead, not the summer behind.

    2.3 a day1.9 if emptyweeks countout of stock
    Sold 160 in twelve weeks, but it was out of stock for two of them. Stokk reads 2.3 a day, not 1.9, and orders for the shelf it should have had.
  4. 03:40

    Every supplier gets a status, and an order.

    Order today, this week, on the way or covered. Each order is drafted to your stock policy, rounded to the pack and valued at landed cost.

    Your Morning Brief is ready.

    One board, not a spreadsheet with four thousand rows. One line per supplier, the urgent ones on top, each with a sentence that says why.
