Analyzing stock levels and triggering reorders with Pickware AI

Which products are running low? Where is capital tied up in goods that barely sell? And what needs to be reordered urgently? With Pickware AI, you get answers to these questions in seconds — without exports, pivot tables, or manual filtering.

Finding products below the reorder point

The most common starting point for stock analysis:

Welche Produkte sind unter dem Meldebestand und müssen nachbestellt werden?

Pickware AI lists all products whose available stock is below the stored reorder point. This lets you see at a glance where action is needed. You can also ask the question with specific thresholds:

Welche Produkte haben weniger als 5 Stück auf Lager?

Identifying out-of-stock products

To see immediately what's completely sold out:

Welche Produkte haben aktuell Bestand 0?

Combined with open orders, this becomes especially valuable:

Welche Produkte mit Bestand 0 tauchen in offenen Bestellungen auf, und wie hoch ist die offene Menge pro Produkt?

This way, you not only see what's missing but also how many customers are affected.

Analyzing stock coverage and sell-through rate

Beyond the raw stock figure, Pickware AI helps you estimate how long your stock will last:

Wie lange reicht unser Bestand vom Produkt XY noch, basierend auf den Verkäufen der letzten 30 Tage?

Based on the sales velocity, Pickware AI calculates how many days the current stock is expected to last. For products with variants, you can also request the analysis per variant:

Zeig mir die Reichweite pro Größe für das Oversize Tee Washed Black.

Identifying slow-moving products and tied-up capital

It's not just missing goods that are a problem — goods that don't move also tie up capital. Ask Pickware AI about slow-moving products:

Welche Produkte haben hohen Bestand aber kaum Verkäufe in den letzten 90 Tagen?

Or ask specifically about tied-up capital:

In welchen Produktgruppen steckt am meisten Kapital bei gleichzeitig wenig Verkauf?

This helps you identify products where a price adjustment, a promotion, or a return to the supplier might make sense.

Preparing a reorder

Once you know what's missing, you can trigger a reorder directly:

Erstelle eine Lieferantenbestellung für alle Produkte unter dem Meldebestand beim jeweiligen Lieferanten.

Pickware AI assigns the products to their stored suppliers and creates the orders. Review the created supplier orders in the admin afterward before sending them.

You can also reorder specifically from a particular supplier:

Was haben wir im letzten Quartal bei Lieferant X bestellt? Bestell das Gleiche nochmal nach.

Tips for stock analysis

  • Specify time periods — "Sales from the last 30 days" provides more meaningful results than "current sales". Depending on seasonality, a longer period may also make sense.

  • Double-check figures — Pickware AI is based on an AI language model. Totals and calculations may be inaccurate. Use the results as a starting point and verify critical figures in the admin.

  • Drill down step by step — Start with a broad question and then narrow it down. For example, first "What's below the reorder point?", then "Of those: What appears in open orders?"
