Useful replenishment planning looks ahead through supplier lead time, accounts for inbound stock and ordering constraints, and makes tradeoffs when cash cannot fund everything at once.
Start with the products that need attention, ranked by business impact.
Plan far enough ahead for stock to arrive before demand consumes what remains.
Apply minimum quantities and case packs before creating the order.
Fund higher-priority inventory first when the buying budget is limited.
How ReOrder turns data into action

Replenishment is a portfolio decision, not a list of isolated alerts.
When every SKU competes for the same cash, urgency alone is not enough. ReOrder helps compare risk, service and spend so the plan reflects the business constraint.

- Include current stock and reliable inbound inventory
- Apply lead times, service levels, MOQs and case packs
- Keep deferred products visible for the next review
Questions merchants ask
What is Shopify replenishment planning?
It is the process of converting expected demand, current stock, inbound inventory and supplier constraints into a decision about what to reorder and when.
Can I set an inventory budget?
Yes. ReOrder can constrain the buy plan to an optional cash limit and keep unfunded recommendations visible.
Does ReOrder send orders automatically?
No. The current release prepares supplier-grouped purchase-order drafts, but the merchant reviews and approves the decision.
Does it support multiple Shopify locations?
The first release aggregates inventory across the locations returned for one connected Shopify store.
Make the next inventory decision easier.
Start with one Shopify store. ReOrder will help turn the planning data you already have into recommendations you can inspect and control.
