Stock planning on Uzum: a formula so you never run out
Mistakes come in two kinds: the product runs out (sales leave) or too much piles up (money is frozen and storage becomes paid). Stock planning protects from both.
1. How many days the stock will last
Stock (days) = stock ÷ average daily sales
Take daily sales over the last 14–30 days: rely on the average, not on one record day. With 300 pieces in stock and 10 sold per day, that is 30 days of stock.
2. Reorder point
It shows when to order a new batch:
Point = daily sales × (delivery days + days until handing over to the Uzum warehouse) + safety stock
Example: 10 pieces a day; 12 days from the supplier, 6 days for preparation and warehouse acceptance; reserve is 7 days of sales (70 pieces). Point = 10 × 18 + 70 = 250 pieces. When stock falls to 250 — time to order.
3. Safety stock
- Sales are stable, the supplier is reliable: 5–7 days.
- Sales fluctuate or the supplier is late: 10–14 days.
- Seasonal product: allow double the supply time.
4. Upper limit: do not order too much
On Uzum, storage is paid when turnover is above 60 days (rules). So choose the batch size so that stock does not pile up for longer than 60 days: at 10 pieces a day the warehouse should hold no more than 600.
5. Split your SKUs
Not every product needs the same attention. Check the SKUs that earn the most once a week, the rest once a month. ABC analysis helps here.
The cost of a sold-out product
When a product runs out, you lose not only sales but also the listing's position in search: after restocking it has to be pushed up again with time and ads. So stock of fast-moving SKUs must not run low.
The MARGN store dashboard shows how many days the stock will last, plus SKUs that are running out and surplus SKUs — Warehouse and waybills. For delivery rules — Delivery to the Uzum warehouse.
