MOQ (Minimum order quantity)
The smallest quantity a supplier will accept on an order, often forcing you to buy more than pure demand suggests.
A Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is the floor a vendor sets per order or per SKU. MOQs push your order sizes up, which can conflict with lean inventory goals -- sometimes you buy six months of a slow mover because the supplier won't sell less.
Skuwell accounts for supplier MOQs when generating purchase orders, so recommendations respect real constraints and you can see the trade-off between MOQ-driven overstock and the cost of not ordering at all.
