Sales still exist, but the current stock is well beyond the measured demand. Check committed customer orders before adjusting purchasing.
What these figures mean

€23,763 is the purchase-cost value of the reported stock. The 1,470 days of cover expresses how long that stock would last at the sales rate used in the analysis. It is not a guarantee of future demand or an amount of cash already recovered.

Getting started

A few practical
questions.

Do we need to share data for a demo?

No. We can walk you through existing findings. Analysis of your business begins after we agree the scope and data requirements.

Is Sage just a one-off review?

The first review establishes the findings in your data. Ongoing analysis helps your team revisit demand and purchasing priorities as the business changes. We agree the update schedule and service scope with you.

What data does Sage need?

Typically, product-level sales history, current stock, purchase costs and purchasing records. We agree the exact fields and history needed for your analysis. Tell us which exports your team has available.

How is our data handled?

Before you share business data, we agree what is needed, who will have access, how it will be transferred and when it will be deleted. Contact us to discuss your requirements first.

Will Sage change our orders?

Sage provides recommendations for your team to consider. A review does not place or change purchase orders. Any later connection to your systems would be agreed separately.

How is Sage priced?

We agree a price based on the scope, data and frequency of analysis. Your team receives the details before work begins.
