PLANNING TOOLS
Better inputs. Better decisions.
What will this order cost? How much margin is left? Which SKUs should you restock? Use these preparation checklists to gather the numbers for each decision. Live calculators are not available yet.
AT A GLANCE
01
Prepare a comparable fulfillment brief
02
Separate revenue from all relevant costs
03
Review demand and replenishment assumptions
PLAN BEFORE YOU COMMIT
A calculator is only as useful as its assumptions.
A freight estimate needs parcel and route data. A stock recommendation needs demand and lead time. Collect those inputs first, then review a quote or plan that fits your business.
Fulfillment brief
SKU, quantity, packed weight, dimensions and destination.
Inventory brief
Recent demand, current stock, lead time and planned promotions.
HOW IT WORKS
Three planning checklists
01
Fulfillment cost
Collect product, preparation, freight and applicable tax or duty assumptions. A live rate calculator is not yet available.
02
Margin & advertising
Collect selling price, product and delivery costs, payment fees, returns and ad spend. Do not treat an estimate as guaranteed profit.
03
Safety stock
Collect SKU demand, replenishment lead time, available stock and planned events. Review the quantity before purchasing.
THE DETAILS
Turn your inputs into a useful brief
COST QUESTIONS
Avoid hidden assumptions
State the currency, product variant and destination.
Separate confirmed charges from estimates and exclusions.
STOCK QUESTIONS
Keep ownership visible
Identify customer-dedicated stock versus shared inventory.
Confirm who approves and pays for a replenishment order.
Why is there no live shipping calculator yet?
Rate data, service rules and update responsibilities must be confirmed before a result can be useful. Request a product-specific quote in the meantime.
Can a planning estimate be used as a final quote?
No. Estimates rely on assumptions; the accepted quotation determines commercial scope.
Can I use my existing spreadsheet?
Yes. Prepare the product, quantities and relevant assumptions. Agree the supported file format when sharing it with the team.
