At a glance
Stock is fixed. The demand it is measured against is not.
Made for
Manufacturers shipping to a network of distributors every day, deciding each morning what goes on which truck.
What goes in
Daily sale-to-trade and opening stock per distributor per SKU, typed in or uploaded from Excel.
What comes out
A shipment plan by distributor and SKU, suggested inter-godown transfers, and the ledger behind both.
How it decides
Four allocation methods, each built around a different business constraint, returning a complete plan in one click.
Metrics & coverage policy
Three terms carry the whole product.
One fixed policy turns the last of them into colour. The bands are not tunable: a system where the definition of “critical” moves is one nobody can read at a glance.
STT
Sale to trade
Units a distributor sold on a given day. After day one, the only figure you have to supply.
ADS
Average daily sales
Recent sales, averaged over a window you choose. The figure every other number on the screen depends on.
SCR
Stock coverage ratio
How many days of sales the stock on hand will cover. The single number that drives every colour on the screen.

Twelve areas, and you never leave the page.
The header, the tiles, the map and the controls are the context everything else hangs off, so they stay put. The four long panels (plan, transfers, grid, ledger) share one tabbed slot below.

Position
The network, as one picture.
Every node is the same size, because size would be a second encoding competing with the first. Colour and the number inside are coverage, and that is the only thing the map says.
Screen 01
Radial network map
The manufacturer at the hub, distributors on a ring, joined by straight equal-weight spokes. Hover a house and everything else drops back; once a plan exists the same circles switch to units to ship.
- Drawn as a network rather than a map: what matters is the lane, not the geography.
- Lanes are still; only the hub breathes, and dots run the spokes once per plan.
- Clicking a node opens its drawer: one card per SKU with a 30-day sparkline.

Comparisons that are real
Every tile compares against the same window one period earlier: a genuine business comparison rather than an artefact of when the page happened to load.

Allocation
Four methods, because four things are scarce.
Coverage, a pot, a budget or a launch. Each method exists because something different is the binding constraint, and each rounds in whatever way protects that constraint, so a plan is always shippable in whole units.
Four methods, four constraints
Each method exists because a different thing is scarce. Target coverage protects nothing, a pot protects the pot, a budget protects the money, and a launch protects the pack size.
Target SCRPot BasedValue BasedNPI Launch
Rounding that protects the constraint
Every method rounds in the way that protects its own constraint, so a pot is never overspent, a budget is never exceeded, a line total always matches its row, and a plan is always shippable in whole units.

Transfers before purchases
Distributors sitting on surplus can supply the ones running short before anything new leaves the factory, so stock already in the network is used first.
Surplus RebalancingSuggested MovesPer-SKUBefore Purchases
A stale result never sits under a live heading
Changing the method clears the plan. Changing the sales window recomputes the map, the tiles and the grid in the same frame. What is on screen is always what the current inputs produce.
Method Clears PlanSame-Frame RecomputeSeeded InputsOne-Click Plans
Planning
Read the grid, set the method, get a plan.
The grid answers what the position is, SKU by SKU. The control panel decides how to close it. Then the plan has to answer three questions at a glance: how much is moving, where it lands, and whether coverage actually reached target.
Screen 02
Distributor × SKU grid
Distributors down, SKUs across. One segmented toggle switches the whole grid between demand, on-hand and coverage (and shipment once a plan exists), so the same layout answers four questions.
- Critical and watch cells keep a faint tint in every mode, even while reading demand.
- The header states which stock figure is showing, because “on-hand” is read two ways.
- Any column sorts; names go A→Z first, figures high→low. CSV exports whichever metric is on.

Allocation control panel
Two dropdowns at the top (the sales window and the method), then only the inputs that method needs. Every option carries a one-line hint, so the method list explains itself as it opens.
- Inputs are seeded from the data, so the very first click returns a real plan.
- Changing the window recomputes the map, the tiles and the grid in the same frame.
- Changing the method clears the plan, so a stale result never sits under a live heading.

What was skipped is as clear as what was sent
Any row opens into its SKU lines, and skipped SKUs stay listed but dimmed. A plan that quietly omits something is a plan that gets argued about on the loading dock.

Judged on what it left behind
For the budget method, the headline number is the budget left unused, because that is the figure the method is actually judged on, not the units it managed to move.
