How it works
We calculate a reorder-urgency score
Days of stock remaining is compared against supplier lead time; being below threshold or high criticality adds urgency.
Get a reorder recommendation
High-urgency items get an immediate reorder recommendation; healthy stock needs no action yet.

Frequently asked questions
Does Stock Pulse Health place orders automatically?
No. It calculates urgency from the numbers you enter so staff can decide when to reorder — it doesn't place orders or integrate with suppliers.
Why does supplier lead time matter more than the reorder threshold alone?
A fixed reorder threshold doesn't account for how long it takes to receive new stock. Comparing days of stock remaining to lead time shows whether you'll actually run out before a reorder arrives.
What if I don't know the exact average daily usage?
Use your best estimate from recent consumption records — the score will still give a useful directional signal, though accuracy improves with better usage data.
Why does item criticality affect the score?
A stockout of a critical-care or safety item has more severe consequences than a stockout of a low-criticality general item, so criticality adds a small urgency boost.
