MEGA · the embedded AI partner for Gulf mid-market companies

Full warehouse. Empty shelf.

Check the buying rules behind both.

Kayl, our free buying health check, asks about forty questions on how you buy, move and clear stock. Your report shows where your own numbers disagree and where to look first.

A lit sneaker wall in a mall store after closing: every shelf is full except one empty bay in the middle.
From a sample report · consistency check Your stock turn of 6 times a year means about 2.0 months of stock on average. That is more than your target cover of 1.5 months allows. Target cover 1.5 Held on average 2.0 Worth checking Sample answers. Illustrative. Not a real submission.

Stock goes wrong in four places.

The check asks about each one. These are four of the five areas your report scores from 0 to 4, using only your answers.

  1. Plain product samples laid out for a buying review under a pendant lamp; a hand in an abaya sleeve points at a sneaker.
    From a sample report · consistency check Your PO cover ceiling of 1.5 months is below your target cover once both are measured the same way. Buyers cannot reach the target without going over the ceiling. PO ceiling 1.5 Target, just after a delivery 2.0 Worth checking Sample answers. Illustrative. Not a real submission.

    1 of 4

    How you buy

    The PO size is a feel, not a number.

    The check asks

    • Do you set a target cover, the months of stock you aim to hold?
    • Do you cap how many months of cover a new PO may bring in?
  2. One delivery of plain cartons split across a row of store cages in a warehouse at night, each cage filled to a different height.

    2 of 4

    How stock flows

    Nobody knows which stores are out until a customer asks.

    The check asks

    • Do you measure whether items are in stock in each store?
    • What share of the time are your key items in stock?
  3. A footwear stockroom where the top shelves hold dusty, untouched shoeboxes above neat, recently handled ones.

    3 of 4

    How stock leaves

    Dead stock gets noticed at the year-end count.

    The check asks

    • Do you track dead stock, the items that stopped selling?
    • What is your stock turn, the number of times your stock sells through in a year?
  4. Two hands during a stock count: one aims a handheld scanner at a plain shoebox, the other steadies a stack of boxes.

    Your data

    The numbers live in exports nobody fully trusts.

    The check asks

    • How detailed is the sales data you can export?

Each area gets a level from 0 to 4 in your report. This is self-reported practice. It is not a benchmark.

Try it with sample numbers.

Four questions from the real check. Change an answer and the sample report changes, word for word as the Kayl engine writes it.

What frustrates you most about buying today?
Do you set a target cover, the months of stock you aim to hold?
What is your stock turn, the number of times your stock sells through in a year?
Do you cap how many months of cover a new PO may bring in?

Everything else is one fixed sample retailer: 24 stores and a website, a 30-day order cycle and a 45-day supplier lead time.

Buying health check

Level one, built from your answers only. Numbers here are yours, worked out from yours, or fixed settings of this report.

Consistency checks

These checks compare your own numbers with each other. A flag means worth checking, not wrong.

Your stock turn of 6 times a year means about 2.0 months of stock on average. That is more than your target cover of 1.5 months allows. Worth checking.

Your PO cover ceiling of 1.5 months is below your target cover once both are measured the same way. Worth checking: buyers cannot reach the target without going over the ceiling.

Your buying policy, as you told us

These are the numbers you gave us, shown rounded.

  • Biggest buying frustration: we buy too much, and stock piles up
  • The one number you want to fix: value of excess stock
  • Stores: 24
  • Active SKUs: 3,500
  • Styles: 900
  • Sales history you can export: 30 months
  • Target cover: 1.5 months
  • Target cover is measured on average stock on hand
  • Cover is valued at cost
  • Display minimum: 2 units per item per store
  • The display minimum works as a floor: a store gets whichever is larger, its cover need or the minimum
  • PO cover ceiling: 1.5 months
  • PO approval threshold: AED 50,000
  • Supplier lead time: 45 days
  • Order cycle: every 30 days
  • There is no set way to split new deliveries between stores
  • Stock turn: 6 times a year, measured at cost
  • In-stock rate on key items: 88.0%

Control gaps by area

These levels come from your own answers. This is self-reported practice. It is not a benchmark, and it does not compare you with anyone.

Each area gets a level from 0 to 4. A higher level means more of the practice is in place, with a number behind it.

Buy: level 3 (self-reported practice)

  • What your answers point to:
  • There is no set way to split new deliveries between stores
  • You also told us:
  • The buyer splits new deliveries

Flow: level 3 (self-reported practice)

  • What your answers point to:
  • Whether items are in stock is measured only now and then
  • You also told us:
  • Only best sellers are checked for stockouts

Exit: level 3 (self-reported practice)

  • What your answers point to:
  • Dead stock is tracked only now and then
  • You also told us:
  • Items that stopped selling stay where they are

Data: level 3 (self-reported practice)

  • What your answers point to:
  • Sales can be exported only by month, which hides short stockouts
  • Unit cost is missing for some SKUs
  • Only current stock is kept, so past stockouts cannot be seen
  • You also told us:
  • The system cannot export sales by SKU and store
  • Unit costs are missing most on new items
  • The system could save a weekly stock snapshot with some work

Governance: not assessed, because your answers did not call for governance questions

Where to look first

You told us you buy too much and stock piles up. Start with how buy quantities are set: target cover, the display minimum and the PO cover ceiling.
