Global Insights & KPIs

The Global Insights dashboard shows shop-level KPIs that aggregate across your entire catalogue. Unlike the inventory table — which shows per-variant metrics — Global Insights answers questions about the overall health and financial position of your inventory.

Snapshots are captured automatically at 01:00 UTC every day and stored in the KPI history, so you can track trends over time.

Inventory value metrics​

Total Inventory Value​

The total cost value of all on-hand stock across all locations and variants — the sum of (on-hand quantity × unit cost) for every included inventory level.

This is the primary measure of working capital tied up in inventory. It does not include the value of stock in transit or confirmed inbound purchase orders.

Dead Stock Value​

The cost value of on-hand stock at inventory levels currently assessed as dead-stock (no sales in the last defaultDeadStockDays, default 90 days). A rising dead stock value indicates capital is accumulating in non-moving inventory.

Overstock Value​

The cost value of on-hand stock at inventory levels currently assessed as overstock (daysUntilReorder ≥ defaultOverstockDays, default 120 days). This quantifies how much capital is tied up in inventory that the simulation does not expect to need replenishing for at least 120 days.

Low Stock Value​

The cost value of on-hand stock at inventory levels currently assessed as low-stock. Useful for understanding the financial exposure of inventory that is approaching the reorder point.

Stock assessment counts​

MetricWhat it counts
OOS Inventory LevelsNumber of inventory levels (variant × location) currently assessed as out-of-stock
OOS VariantsNumber of distinct variants with at least one out-of-stock inventory level
Low Stock CountNumber of inventory levels assessed as low-stock
Dead Stock CountNumber of inventory levels assessed as dead-stock
Overstock CountNumber of inventory levels assessed as overstock
Counts reflect the most recent nightly metric run. They are not updated in real time as
sales happen.

Revenue and cash flow metrics​

Lost Revenue​

An estimate of revenue lost due to out-of-stock periods. Computed as the number of days a variant was out of stock multiplied by its historical daily sales rate and sale price, aggregated across all variants.

This is a directional estimate — it assumes demand continued at the historical rate during the stockout period.

Average OOS Days​

The average number of days variants have been continuously out of stock, across all currently out-of-stock variants. A rising average indicates that stockouts are not being resolved quickly.

COGS (90-day)​

Cost of goods sold over the trailing 90 days, summed across all variants. Calculated from fulfilled order line items × unit cost.

Cash Inflow (90-day)​

Total revenue received from fulfilled orders over the trailing 90 days.

Cash Outflow (90-day)​

Total cost of purchase orders confirmed or received over the trailing 90 days.

ABC summary​

The ABC summary shows, for each grade (A, B, C):

FieldMeaning
Variant countNumber of variants in this grade
Stock costTotal cost value of on-hand stock for variants in this grade
RevenueTotal net revenue generated by variants in this grade over the lookback period
Daily velocityAverage combined daily sales rate across all variants in this grade
Use the ABC summary to see how revenue and stock cost are distributed across grades. A
healthy spread has Grade A variants generating the largest share of revenue while holding
a proportionate share of stock cost. A warning sign is Grade C variants holding a
disproportionately large share of stock cost relative to their revenue contribution.

Stock assessment summary​

For each stock assessment value (healthy-stock, low-stock, out-of-stock, overstock, dead-stock), the snapshot records:

FieldMeaning
CountNumber of inventory levels with this assessment
Available unitsTotal on-hand units across those levels
Available stock costTotal cost value of on-hand stock at those levels
Avg sell-through rateAverage sell-through rate across those levels
Avg coverage daysAverage days of coverage remaining at those levels
The stock assessment summary is the primary tool for understanding the shape of your
inventory health — what proportion of your stock (by count, units, and value) sits in
each health category.

When the snapshot runs​

The KPI snapshot runs automatically at 01:00 UTC daily. It can also be triggered manually via the API if you need an out-of-schedule snapshot after a large data change.

The snapshot reflects the stock assessments, inventory values, and computed fields as they stood at the time it ran — it does not retroactively update if metrics are refreshed later in the day.
