Stock Expiry Prevention

Sell first-in, first-out (FIFO)

Always sell the oldest stock first. Put new stock at the back. This reduces expiry waste.

Know when to reorder

Reorder before you run out. If your supplier takes 3 days and you sell 10 units/day, reorder when stock hits 30 units (or a bit more for safety).

Calculate your reorder point

Use the calculator below. Lead time × daily sales + safety stock = when to order.

Discount before expiry

If items are close to expiry, offer a small discount. Better to sell at a lower margin than lose everything.

Track expiry dates

Note expiry on batches. Get alerts before items expire so you can push them or discount.
