What is stock forecasting vs stock monitoring?

Stock monitoring tells you where you are today. Stock forecasting models where you will be in 30, 60 or 90 days based on historical sales patterns. Seegea covers monitoring. For advanced forecasting, tools like Inventory Planner or Cogsy integrate alongside Seegea.

How can I identify which products need reordering in Seegea?

Sort the catalog grid by stock divided by 30-day velocity. Products near zero bubble up. Set a reorder threshold per product — any SKU below it is flagged in the grid with a visual alert.

Can I add supplier lead time data to Seegea?

Yes, via custom columns. You can add a lead time field (in days) per product and use it alongside the velocity view to calculate when to trigger a purchase order.

What size catalog benefits most from Seegea for replenishment planning?

Catalogs of 500 to 10,000 SKUs benefit the most. Below 500, a spreadsheet suffices. Above 10,000, you probably need a dedicated forecasting tool. In the middle range, Seegea velocity views and threshold alerts cover 90% of replenishment decisions.

Stock forecasting: prep replenishment without a heavy forecast tool

Stock forecasting tools are powerful — and often overkill for a 2,000-SKU catalog. Before investing in a full forecasting engine, most teams need something simpler: velocity data, threshold alerts, and a fast way to act on what they see. That is exactly what Seegea adds to your Shopify or PrestaShop catalog.

Seegea is honest about its boundary: it does not run statistical demand models. What it does is give your team the catalog visibility to make smart replenishment calls without a separate tool, a weekly spreadsheet ritual, or a dedicated analyst.

Replenishment visibility on

What most teams actually need (and do not have)

Current stock vs recent velocity

If a SKU has 40 units left and sold 30 in the last 30 days, it will hit zero in roughly 40 days. That is not a statistical model — it is a ratio any team can act on today.

Low-stock alerts per SKU

A threshold of 15 units on a fast-moving SKU triggers earlier than a threshold of 5 units on a slow-mover. Seegea lets you set thresholds per product and surfaces them as a filtered view.

Lead time awareness

If your supplier needs 21 days, you need to reorder when stock drops below 21 days of demand — not when it hits zero. Seegea supports a custom lead-time column next to your velocity data.

Capability	ERP forecasting	Dedicated tool (Inventory Planner)	Seegea
Statistical demand model	Yes (complex)	Yes (ML-based)	No
Velocity view in catalog grid	No	Separate UI	Yes, inline
Threshold alerts per SKU	Yes (ERP-side)	Yes	Yes, in grid
Inline stock correction	No	No	Yes, instant push
Setup time	Weeks	Days	Hours

Seegea is not a replacement for Inventory Planner or Cogsy. If you need true demand forecasting with seasonality models, use a dedicated tool. Seegea handles the catalog layer: monitoring, correcting and publishing — while your forecast tool handles the math.

The Seegea replenishment workflow

Open Seegea and switch to the low-stock saved view.
Sort by stock / 30-day velocity ratio (ascending).
Top rows are the SKUs that will hit zero soonest.
Add a reorder note or update the expected restock date inline.
Share the filtered view URL with your purchasing team — no export needed.

Saved views for replenishment

Create a "Reorder Now" saved view with filters for stock below threshold. Open it daily in 30 seconds instead of running a weekly report.

Bulk threshold updates

Adjust low-stock thresholds across a category or supplier inline. Select rows, fill the threshold column, push. Done in 2 minutes.

Rollback protection

Updated stock after receiving a delivery and made an error? Ctrl+Z restores the previous version and re-pushes. No irreversible bulk mistakes.

FAQ

No. Seegea does not run statistical forecast models. It shows you current stock, 30-day sales velocity and low-stock thresholds in the catalog grid — enough for most teams to make smart reorder decisions without a dedicated forecasting tool.
