™HOW VANTELOQ WORKS
Connect inventory decisions to cash
Inventory represents both a customer promise and committed cash. Review observed demand, current stock and supplier constraints before deciding what to order.
Which stock needs attention before the next order?

Check the stock evidence
Use a dated stock snapshot, reviewed sales and known product costs. Record or import supported opening stock, receipts, inventory valuation and expiry inputs when the source does not supply them.

Look at movement and time
Compare sell-through, turnover and days of stock cover. A slow-moving item may tie up cash, while short stock cover may create a shortage before the next supplier delivery. Seasonal demand and promotions need explicit consideration.

Review expiry and reorder constraints
Use lot dates and quantities to prioritize stock at risk. Check lead time, case packs, minimum orders and product demand. A suggested quantity is a review input, not an automatically approved purchase.

Test the cash impact
Add the proposed purchase to a BookLoQ cash scenario. Compare confirmed commitments with expected receipts and a cash floor. Keep forecast assumptions separate from the bank balance and posted accounting records.
How the calculation works
Days of cover = on-hand units ÷ observed units sold per day. Sell-through = units sold ÷ units available for sale. Turnover needs a compatible cost-of-sales period and reviewed average inventory value.
What the result needs
Zero observed demand does not imply infinite certainty about cover. Missing valuation, unknown supplier timing, incomplete imports and unreliable expiry quantities limit the recommendation. Bank-based measures require a verified production connection; Plaid production activation is still pending.
