Get an alert when stockreaches its reorder point.
Set a reorder point and safety stock for each SKU, by location. When on-hand stock falls to the reorder point, Klovio sends an alert in the app and by email with a suggested quantity to order, calculated from demand, supplier lead time and safety stock.
Without a set threshold, reorders come too late or too large.
When reordering depends on someone noticing that stock looks low, the order often goes out after the bin is empty, or a larger order is placed to be safe. A reorder point turns that judgment into a rule for each item, and the rule raises an alert when stock reaches that level rather than when the bin runs out.
Stockouts noticed too late
Demand rises or a supplier's lead time slips while nobody is watching that item. By the time someone notices the empty bin, the replacement order is already late.
Cash tied up in extra stock
Ordering extra "just to be safe" across many SKUs ties up working capital in stock that can sit for months. A reorder point with a suggested quantity sizes each order to demand and lead time.
Thresholds that don't change with demand
A reorder point set on last year's demand may not fit this season. With demand forecasting, Klovio can suggest reorder points and safety stock that reflect seasonal patterns.
How reorder alerts work.
You set the rule for each item. Klovio checks stock movements against it and suggests when and how much to reorder; your buyer decides what to order.
Set the reorder point
Choose a reorder point and safety stock for each SKU, with different values per location if you need them. Safety stock is a separate buffer for demand spikes and supplier delays. Enter the values yourself or use the ones suggested by demand forecasting.
Stock is checked as it moves
Scans, picks and transfers are checked against the reorder point as they're recorded, not in a nightly batch. When on-hand stock reaches the reorder point, an alert is created.
Review the alert and quantity
The alert, in the app and by email, shows the SKU, location, current count and a suggested quantity to bring stock back to target cover. The buyer can adjust the quantity and raise a purchase order.
An alert is raised when stock reaches the reorder point.
You don't have to run a report to find low stock. When a scan brings on-hand stock to or below the reorder point, Klovio raises an alert: in the app for the floor team and by email for the buyer. Each alert includes the SKU, location, current count and a suggested quantity.
- In-app and email alerts, routed to the people you choose
- Each alert includes a suggested reorder quantity
- One alert per SKU per location, not one per scan
- Acknowledge or snooze alerts to keep the open list current
The alert says how much to order, not only that stock is low.
Klovio calculates a suggested quantity from the reorder point, safety stock, average daily demand and supplier lead time, so the buyer starts from a number instead of working it out for each item.
The suggestion is sized to cover demand during the supplier's lead time plus your safety stock, rather than a fixed or rounded-up amount.
- Based on current average daily demand
- Respects supplier minimums and case or pack sizes
- Buyers can change any suggested quantity before ordering
