Inventory Reporting and Forecasting, From Sales to Stock to Reorder

Inventory reporting and forecasting built from the orders, receipts and stock movements your team already records. See what you hold and what it is worth, what is running low, what has stopped moving and what actually makes money, then act from the report.

Sea salt sells the most units and earns the least on each one, while olive oil sells fewer than half as many and brings in more.

Reports that answer the question, then let you act on it

Every figure comes from the documents that created it, so nobody keeps a second set of numbers for reporting. Filter, group and sort any report, and on the ones that find a problem, fix it without leaving the screen.

01Value

Know what your stock is worth, and what has stopped moving

Stock on Hand gives the quantity and value of every product at its moving average cost, with each location side by side. Inventory Aging splits the same stock by how long it has been sitting, in quantity and in value. Tick the slow lines and set a new retail price on them from the report, or correct a cost that was entered wrong.

  • Stock value at moving average cost
  • Each location in its own columns
  • Age bands from 0-30 days to over a year
  • New retail prices set from the report
  • A wrong cost corrected, and the stock revalued

02Reorder

See what is running low beside what is selling

Reorder Inventory sets each product’s available and incoming stock against its minimum, with what it sold over the dates you choose on the same row, so a low figure comes with its rate of sale. Filter to what is short now, or short even once the incoming orders land, then raise purchase orders or a transfer from the rows you selected.

  • Short now, or short with incoming counted
  • Sold quantity over the dates you set
  • Allocated, buffer and back orders on the same row
  • Purchase orders or a transfer from the selected rows
  • Lines added to an open purchase order instead

03Forecast

Know the week a product runs out, and when to order

Forecasting projects each product’s weekly demand from its own sales, by average, by the same week last year, or by trend, and takes it away from the stock you hold and the stock on order. The first week that falls below zero is the shortage, and Qoblex dates the order back through the supplier’s lead time and drafts it. Forecasting comes with Business and above.

  • Average, seasonal or trend, chosen per product
  • Open purchase orders counted as they arrive
  • Out-of-stock days left out of the run rate
  • Raw materials forecast through your bills of material
  • Draft purchase orders, grouped by supplier
How forecasting works

Built for the questions you ask

  • Distributors

    Customer aging before the chase, supplier aging before the payment run, and margin by customer.

    Inventory for distributors
  • Makers and manufacturers

    Raw materials forecast from the bills of material of the products that use them.

    Manufacturing
  • Online stores

    Sales grouped by channel and by store, so each store’s margin is a figure rather than a guess.

When a spreadsheet or your accounting software is enough

If you sell a handful of products from one place, an export into a spreadsheet, or the reports in Xero or QuickBooks, will answer most questions. Qoblex earns its place when the answer needs stock, orders and costs read together.

Reporting and forecasting questions

The reports, where the numbers come from, forecasting and exporting.

What is inventory reporting software?

Inventory reporting software turns the records your team already keeps, orders, receipts, shipments and stock movements, into answers: what you hold and what it is worth, what is running low, what has stopped selling and what makes money. Because the figures come from the documents themselves, nobody rebuilds them in a spreadsheet at month end.

Where do the numbers come from?

From your own documents: sales orders, shipments, invoices, refunds, purchase orders, goods receipts, bills, transfers and adjustments. Nothing is entered twice for reporting, which is why a report cannot disagree with the screen the data came from.

Can I act on a report, or only read it?

Some reports act. From Reorder Inventory you raise purchase orders or a stock transfer for the rows you selected. From Inventory Aging you set a new retail price on slow lines or correct a moving average cost. Forecasting drafts the purchase orders its plan recommends.

How does forecasting work?

Forecasting reads what each product sold over a window you choose, the last three months unless you change it, and projects that demand forward week by week. It takes the projection away from the stock you hold and the purchase orders on their way, and shows the first week the product is projected to run short. Turn on Plan purchases and Qoblex proposes a receipt that covers the gap plus the weeks of cover you set, dated back through the supplier’s lead time, then drafts the purchase orders. Forecasting comes with Business and above.

Does it handle seasonality?

Yes, per product. Set a product’s forecast method to Seasonal and each projected week reads what it sold in the same week a year earlier, so a summer peak is planned from last summer rather than from the last three months. A product with less than a year of history is better on Historical Average or Trend.

Can Qoblex tell me my best sellers?

Yes, and it will separate best selling from most profitable, which are often different products. The sales by product report gives sold quantity, net sales, cost of goods sold and margin for any date range, and grouped by product or customer it counts the orders behind each line. It can be grouped, saved and exported.

Can I save a report I use regularly?

Yes, on the Business and Scale plans. Save the filters, grouping, sorting and columns as a custom report and it comes back as its own tab on Sales, Purchases or Inventory, rerun on current data each time you open it. Rename, update or delete it later.

Can I export reports?

Yes. Any report exports as a CSV with the filters, grouping, sorting and hidden columns you have on screen, so the file matches what you saw. The export runs in the background and Qoblex emails you a download link. A date range on an export must be less than a year.

Is reporting available on every plan?

The Sales, Purchases and Inventory reports are. Saving custom reports needs Business or Scale, and forecasting comes with Business and above. See pricing for what each plan includes.
