Stock Up
Shopee
A restock warning that fires when a product's stock position falls to its reorder point, with the working shown.
A Stock Up card says one thing: this product's stock position has fallen to or below its reorder point, and here is what running out will cost you. It is the only Action that creates nothing — no purchase order, no marketplace write. Its whole job is to tell you in time.
It sits in the Optimize category and is generated for Shopee shops.
Deploying is not part of this card's life. Its only transitions are proposed and rejected — there is nothing to stop or roll back, because nothing was pushed anywhere.
What a Stock Up card shows
| Figure | Meaning |
|---|---|
| In stock | The current position — what is on the shelf plus what is already ordered and in transit. |
| Reorder point | The threshold the position crossed. Either your threshold or the model threshold, and the card says which. |
| Days left | Cover at the forecast demand rate. |
| Suggested order | A quantity to order, for reference. |
| Profit lost per day | Per-unit profit × forecast daily units — what a day out of stock costs. |
How urgent is it?
The card grades urgency against the restock lead time:
- Ordering today still leaves you out of stock — the lead time no longer fits.
- Order now — the lead time barely fits.
- Below the reorder point, but there is still headroom.
- No demand forecast for this product yet — the threshold fired, but cover cannot be estimated.
Show the working behind a Stock Up card
How do you know? opens the full audit behind the card:
- What the position is made of — on the shelf vs already ordered and in transit, against the reorder point. In-transit units are called out, because the shelf empties sooner than the cover figure suggests.
- Stock on the shelf, day by day — the burn-down to the projected empty date. The faded tail carries the last forecast week's rate forward and is labelled as an assumption, not a forecast.
- What sold, and what the model expects — realized weekly units as bars against the model's own range, plus the recent-average baseline the forecast has to beat, and how many recent weeks sold nothing.
- What a stockout costs — profit lost per day out, and the total at risk over the projected gap.
- Deliveries in flight, with overdue ones marked.
- How we got here — observed vs required, step by step.
The evidence also states how far to trust it: dense and steady history can be read tightly, while a lumpy or short history means trusting the band's width more than its centre line.
Two things to read carefully on a Stock Up card
- Cross-shop totals. When the product is listed in more than one Shopee shop, the stock and reorder figures are totals across those listings while the per-unit profit comes from one of them. The card discloses this when it applies.
- Risk is not scored. A restock commits real capital, and DataGlass has not judged that risk for you — so unlike other kinds, this card shows no risk rating rather than showing a flattering one.
