How much cash is frozen in idle inventory? And when do you reorder?

Units in stock nowYour unit cost (SAR)Units sold per monthSupplier lead time (days)

Dead stock is frozen cash that isn't working: every idle unit could be cash or fast-moving goods. Rule: under a month of cover = risky shortage, 1–3 months healthy, over 3 dead overstock. And the reorder point protects you from running out during the supplier's lead time.

Frozen cash

12,000 SAR

Stock cover

5 months

Reorder point

42 units

Your stock is dead overstock: 12,000 SAR frozen, enough for 5 months at your sales rate. That's cash asleep — move it with an offer, a bundle, or a measured discount, and don't reorder this item until it drops. Check your margin in Price It Right before any discount.

What does this number mean?

Dead stock is frozen cash that isn't working: every idle unit could be cash or fast-moving goods. Rule: under a month of cover = risky shortage (running out = lost sales), 1–3 months healthy, over 3 dead overstock you must move. The tool also gives you a reorder point — where to reorder from your supplier so the shipment arrives before you sell out, computed from your sales rate and lead time.
