Features
Everything that keeps a shelf full.
Aisle watches the counts, writes the orders, checks in the deliveries and keeps two stores honest with each other. Here is the whole of it.
Reorder rules
A minimum that moves with the season
Every bin gets a number to stay above. Aisle proposes it from 90 days of your own sales, then raises it before the first freeze and drops it again in April.
- Rules you can read out loud
- Below 30, order 12 from Cobb Valley. Over $400, ask first.
- Seasons per item, not per store
- Heat tape climbs in October. Hose menders climb in May.
- Reorder point
- 30
- Oct 1 – Mar 31
- 45
Receiving
Check in a delivery against the order
Open the purchase order on a phone at the back door and count what came off the truck. Shorts and overages post to the board before the pallet is broken down.
- Shorts open a claim
- Aisle emails the rep the same afternoon with the line and the count.
- Costs update themselves
- A changed case price flows into margin without a second entry.

Two stores
Move stock instead of ordering it
When one store is deep and the other is empty, Aisle says so before it writes a purchase order. Print the slip, send it on the Tuesday run, and both counts follow the box.
- One catalog, two shelves
- Same SKUs, separate minimums, because Grand Ave sells differently.
- Transfers beat reorders
- Aisle checks the other store first whenever a bin trips its minimum.
- Heat tape, 24 ft 41 6 Move 18
- Pipe insulation, ¾ in 96 11 Move 40
- Rock salt, 50 lb 62 14 Move 24

The Sunday night you get back
Nothing here is new work. It is the same six jobs, done by the system that already knows the numbers.
- Before Aisle Walk the store Sunday night with a clipboard and a pen. With Aisle Open the board Monday and read the five items that are low.
- Before Aisle Three calls to three reps before the counter gets busy. With Aisle Three purchase orders went out Friday at 4 PM, already approved.
- Before Aisle Guess the minimum on heat tape from memory, every October. With Aisle The minimum climbs on its own, from three winters of your sales.
- Before Aisle Find out a bin is empty when a contractor asks for it. With Aisle Find out at 41 units, two weeks before the shelf can run dry.
- Before Aisle Count the whole store over a long weekend in January. With Aisle Count one aisle each morning before the doors open.
- Before Aisle Call the other store to ask what they have on the shelf. With Aisle See both shelves in one list and print the transfer slip.
