The holiday season is the most challenging period of the year for merchants. Demand is unpredictable, sales spike overnight, and stockouts can happen long before teams notice them.

To help sellers stay in control during this high-pressure period, MyFulfillment offers one essential feature designed specifically for Q4 seasonality: Supply Needs Replenishment an how easy it is to work with.

This feature makes sure you always know which products need to be reordered, when to reorder them, and how much stock to secure before you run into shortages that could cost visibility, sales, and margin.

The Seasonal Challenge: Merchants Can’t Rely on Manual Checks During Q4

Merchants typically face these challenges:

  • Best-sellers run out faster than expected
  • Suppliers take longer to deliver
  • Sales fluctuate daily, not weekly
  • Manual stock checks become impossible
  • Spreadsheets fail to reflect real-time demand

This is exactly the problem Supply Needs Replenishment solves.

What Is Supply Needs Replenishment?

It’s a smart, automated system inside MyFulfillment that tells you:

  • which products are falling below ideal stock
  • which items need reordering immediately
  • how much to restock based on sales and trends
  • which suppliers to place orders with

Instead of relying on guesswork or opening multiple tools, sellers get one central, real-time dashboard showing all SKUs that require attention.

How MyFulfillment’s Supply Needs Replenishment Works

The feature continuously analyses your stock, sales, and supplier information to warn you before you face a stockout.

Here’s how merchants use it:

See What’s Running Out in Real Time

On the Procurement screen, MyFulfillment gives you a live summary of:

  • products below ideal stock levels
  • items with fast-decreasing stock
  • SKUs that are close to backorder
  • missing inventory for upcoming sales

This real-time visibility eliminates the need for manual stock checks or external spreadsheets.

Receive Automatic Replenishment Recommendations

MyFulfillment proactively suggests which products need restocking. It analyses your:

  • current stock
  • ideal stock level
  • safety stock
  • sales history
  • supplier lead time

Then it generates automated recommendations directly in the procurement screen.

If you have 20 products across 5 suppliers, the system instantly identifies the exact SKUs requiring reorders without manual calculation.

Filter Needs by Supplier for Faster PO Creation

The system lets you filter supply needs by supplier so you can:

  • group all needed items from the same supplier
  • review recommended quantities
  • generate a single consolidated purchase order
  • avoid multiple back-and-forth emails

This is especially useful in Q4, when supplier communication needs to be fast and clear.

Use Stock Helper Tools to Make Smarter Decisions

For every product in the replenishment list, the Stock Helper tools show:

  • recent and historical sales
  • purchase prices from different suppliers
  • stock cover projections
  • calculated “low stock” alerts
  • seasonality trends (when relevant)

This gives merchants everything they need to make confident purchasing decisions — without switching tabs or exporting data.

Create Draft Purchase Orders in One Click

This is where the feature becomes extremely efficient:

MyFulfillment can automatically create a ready-to-review purchase order draft based on:

  • recommended quantities
  • chosen supplier
  • pack sizes / MOQ
  • current prices
  • lead times

Merchants only need to check the details and send it.
