03 / Built for retail

Built around
the shelf.

Reorder points, case packs, shelf price, margin, deposits. The words you already use, with the numbers behind them.

Reorder points

Restock before the shelf is empty.

Set a reorder point and case pack for each item. Anything below it lands in a draft order at the best cost.

Whole milk · on hand 6 · reorder at 12 · order 2 cases
Margin

See what every cost change takes.

Shelf price sits next to the best cost per unit, so a price increase shows up as lost margin before you reorder.

Vodka 750 mL · cost $11.90 · shelf $17.99 · 33.9%
Case packs

A case isn’t always a case.

Pack sizes are normalized, so a 24-pack and four 6-packs compare per can.

24 × 12 oz at $29.75 = $1.24 / can
4 × 6 × 12 oz at $31.20 = $1.30 / can
Deposits & licenses

Deposits and excise, kept apart.

Bottle deposits, excise and credits are tracked apart from the product price, and each distributor keeps your license and territory on file.
