✓ Free to start, no credit card required. Free while in early access.


The formula
Sample: 600 units in FBA, 450 units sold in 30 days → 15/day → 40 days of cover.
Thresholds Selario uses
- Under 21 days — critical: “Low stock”.
- Under 60 days — low: “Reorder soon”.
- No sales in 30 days: no estimate.
Pick your own targets from supplier lead time + shipping + FBA check-in time, plus a buffer.
Watch out for TikTok spikes
A video that takes off can lift Amazon sales too, so a 30-day average lags. Keep an eye on Ripple and the TikTok Shop stock side.
