Changelog
Written for the people who use RestockIQ rather than the people who build it. Newest first.
The market price column distinguishes a confirmed buy box from “no buy box right now” and from “lowest offer only”. A clean number means one thing and one thing only, so you never have to wonder which you are looking at.
When the cheapest supplier cannot cover a suggested order, RestockIQ walks up the supplier ladder in landed cost and tells you what the overflow units really cost — in red if those units would lose money, with a suggestion to order only what the cheap supplier can supply.
The pre-filled quantity respects the stricter of your standing minimum-ROI rule and any filter you have applied, judged at the conservative price. Rows that narrowly miss stay visible and explain why no quantity was suggested.
The reorder table no longer scrolls sideways on a normal screen. Related figures were merged, and columns that repeated something already on the row were removed.
The stock column gives the total available across all your suppliers, then names the cheapest supplier alongside that supplier’s own quantity — so a pooled total can no longer be mistaken for one supplier’s holding.
Discover and Replenish now render in a couple of seconds on large catalogues, where before they could take the best part of a minute.
Order data is processed without buyer names, addresses or contact details. There is now no field anywhere in the system for them to land in.
The optimiser now prices in your cost of capital and the cost of holding slow-moving stock, instead of maximising gross margin alone. It will no longer recommend tying up capital in inventory that takes months to sell.
Every sale is matched back to what that unit actually cost, using a six-tier time-aware cost cascade and the exchange rate that applied on the sale date. Each figure tells you which tier it came from, so you know how firm it is.
Stock that has not reached Amazon is now counted only when you declare it — by uploading a stocktake, marking a purchase order as outstanding, or uploading an inbound consignment. Nothing pre-Amazon is ever inferred.
Recurring seasonal curves per category and marketplace now shape both the demand forecast and the safety stock, with the seasonal effect removed from the variance so the season is never counted twice.
Products selling a couple of units a week are now covered using discrete count models — Poisson, or negative binomial when sales are lumpy — rather than the textbook approximation that gets slow sellers badly wrong.
Each line’s supplier title is checked against the matched Amazon listing title before a purchase order can leave draft. Anything that does not plausibly describe the same product is flagged for a human to confirm or remove — catching reused barcodes before they become a pallet of the wrong thing.
Profitability is now judged on the lower of today’s price and its longer-run average. Spikes are flagged in amber, and one click re-runs the row at the average price so you can see the deal you would actually be getting.
Request access and we’ll walk you through RestockIQ on a real supplier file — yours, if you like.
