Stockout
Running out of a sellable item, causing lost sales and -- on marketplaces -- ranking and account damage.
A stockout is zero available inventory when a customer wants to buy. Beyond the immediate lost sale, stockouts erode marketplace search ranking, trigger Amazon/Walmart penalties, and push customers to competitors. The whole point of reorder points and safety stock is to avoid them.
Skuwell minimizes stockouts with per-SKU forecasting, lead-time-aware reorder points, and replenishment recommendations that flag at-risk items before they hit zero -- while keeping a live, accurate count so you're not blindsided.
Keep going.
Buffer inventory held to absorb variability in demand and supply so normal swings don't cause a stockout.
