Inventory planning for health & wellness brands.
Supplements sell in subscription cycles, then a podcast triples demand overnight. Forstock forecasts replenishment demand per SKU, right-sizes every reorder, and keeps best-sellers in stock when a press hit sends demand vertical.
Recurring and repeat demand reflected in every SKU's forecast
Every SKU graded Out / Low / Healthy / Overstock on forward coverage
Best-seller stockouts during a press or podcast spike — the goal
Most of your revenue reorders on a cadence — until a podcast breaks the pattern.
A meaningful share of supplement demand is recurring: customers reorder their Magnesium and Omega-3 month after month. That steady base is forecastable. The wild card is attention — a single study or podcast mention can triple demand for a SKU overnight. Plan it manually and you either over-buy and park cash on the shelf or stock out of your hero formula at the worst moment. Forstock forecasts replenishment demand per SKU from your real sales history, grades every SKU by days of cover, and recalibrates daily so a velocity jump flags your hero as running low early. Best-sellers stay in stock and capital isn't buried in over-ordered formulas.
Subscription-driven forecasting plus days-of-cover health keeps best-sellers in stock without over-buying.
What you get with Forstock
Inventory intelligence tuned for health & wellness.
Replenishment forecasting
Recurring and repeat-purchase demand is your most predictable signal. Forstock reads it from your sales history and projects each SKU's velocity forward so steady demand is always covered.
Days-of-cover health
Every SKU is graded by forward coverage — Out of stock, Running low, Healthy, or Overstock — so you see which formulas need a PO and which are already over-held.
Fast recalibration
A study or podcast can triple demand overnight. Forstock recalibrates daily as new sales land and counts down days of cover, flagging your hero as running low early so you reorder before the stockout.
ABC prioritization
Forstock grades SKUs A/B/C by revenue, so flagship formulas surface first in the reorder queue and get flagged most urgently when stock runs low.
PO audit trail
Every purchase order change is logged — who changed what, and when — so the history of every order is there when you need to check it.
Cash-aware buying
Forstock flags overstock and shows the working capital tied up per SKU, steering spend toward formulas that actually sell through and freeing cash from over-ordered stock.
Common challenges
Problems health & wellness brands face, solved.
Over-buying a formula parks capital you can't recover until it sells. Forstock grades every SKU by days of cover, flags overstock, and steers spend toward formulas that sell through — so cash stops piling up on the shelf.
Static reorder points lag a podcast mention or study. Forstock recalibrates daily as new sales land and counts down days of cover per SKU, flagging your best-seller as running low early so you reorder before it goes dark.
Manual reordering uses the supplier's optimistic quote. Forstock reorders against each supplier's actual lead-time history, so restocks for in-demand formulas land while attention is still high.
