The Inventory Velocity Report gives you actionable insights into how quickly your products are moving through your fulfillment network. By analyzing sales velocity, days on hand, and top/bottom performers, you can make informed decisions about inventory replenishment, product focus, and distribution strategy.
Report Overview
The Inventory Velocity Report refreshes once daily in the mornings (UTC). The page displays the date and time of the last refresh at the top of the report, ensuring you’re always aware of the data’s currency. This report helps you understand which SKUs are selling quickly, which are moving slowly, and how long your current inventory levels will last based on historical performance.Key Metrics
The report surfaces four critical metrics to help you assess SKU performance:| Metric | What It Measures | How It’s Calculated |
|---|---|---|
| Total Units Sold per SKU | The cumulative units of a particular SKU sold across all fulfillment centers within the selected time range | Excludes kitting, de-kitting, case breakdown, inventory disposal, and donation work orders, as well as restocked units |
| Average Daily Velocity per SKU | The average number of units sold per day for a given SKU | Total Quantity Sold ÷ Number of Days in Date Range Example: 100 units sold over 7 days = 14.29 average daily velocity |
| Estimated Days On Hand | An estimate of how many days your current inventory will last based on average daily velocity | Current Inventory On Hand ÷ Average Daily Velocity |
| Top 5 and Bottom 5 SKUs | Quick insights into your highest and lowest performing SKUs by sales volume | Ranked by Total Units Sold within the selected time range |
