Saddl OS + experienced marketplace people
Marketplace inventory management.
Plan the next replenishment.
What should you reorder, when, and for which marketplace? Saddl reads active sales velocity and historical trends across your warehouse and channels, allocates stock by demand and follows the order through to delivery.
What is marketplace inventory management?
Marketplace inventory management is deciding what to reorder, when and for which marketplace, so stock follows demand without tying up cash. Saddl reads sales velocity, stock across Amazon, Noon and your warehouse, open purchase orders and lead times in Saddl OS, then sorts every product that needs attention into move, track, buy or hold. Your team keeps purchasing authority.
Warehouse and channels
Allocate by demand. Reorder with lead time in view.
- Warehouse. Stock on hand, ready to allocate.
- Channels. Where demand is, marketplace by marketplace.
- Supplier. Inbound supply, lead time and order constraints.
- Amber channel. Demand running ahead of its stock.
From demand to delivery
How the replenishment plan is built.
Stock cover is a planning signal, not a delivery promise.
The decision for each product
A low-stock alert is not a purchase order.
Every product with a stock signal gets one of four decisions. Move is checked first because it needs no new capital or supplier lead time; Buy is the last answer, not the first.
| Decision | When the evidence shows | What happens next |
|---|---|---|
| Move | Enough stock elsewhere in the network (Amazon FBA, Noon FBN, Minutes or your warehouse) to cover the next 30 days | Allocate existing stock to the marketplace that is short. No supplier order. |
| Track | Marketplace stock is low, but an existing purchase order already covers the shortfall | Follow the inbound order and confirm it lands before stock runs out. Don’t order again. |
| Buy | No spare network stock and no open purchase order; a real requirement remains | Place the supplier order. This is where new capital is needed. |
| Hold | The product is overstocked elsewhere, or the requirement no longer justifies a reorder | Don’t buy. Review why the excess exists before adding another layer. |

Should a low-stock product keep ad support?
It depends on stock position, expected supply and objective. Low cover is a reason to review advertising pressure, not to stop every campaign. Saddl coordinates the decision with the replenishment plan so campaigns don’t ignore availability.
Your team controls purchasing and fulfilment.
Saddl reviews risk, recommends priorities and coordinates agreed actions. You keep purchasing authority, supplier commitments, warehouse operations and decisions outside delegated authority. Forecasts can’t guarantee that shortages or excess stock will be avoided.

Marketplace stock management, answered.
How do you decide whether a product needs reordering?
By checking three things before any purchase: whether enough stock sits elsewhere in the network to move, whether an open purchase order already covers the gap, and what the next 30 days of sales need. Only when the first two fall short does the answer become Buy.
Can an account be overstocked and out of stock at the same time?
Yes, on different products. In one UAE portfolio of 122 products, 33 were overstocked and 35 were at stock-out risk in the same snapshot. An account-level total hides both, which is why decisions are made product by product. Read the case study
Should a low-stock product keep its advertising?
It depends on stock position, expected supply and the campaign’s objective. Low cover is a reason to review advertising pressure, not to stop every campaign, and the decision is made alongside the replenishment plan.
Do you plan stock for Noon and Noon Minutes?
Yes. Amazon planning draws on Amazon’s stock data in every market. For Noon, Noon Minutes and other marketplaces, we set up the stock sources and update routine with you before you rely on a plan.
Who places the purchase orders?
Your team. Saddl reviews risk, recommends what to move, track or buy, and coordinates agreed actions. Purchasing authority, supplier commitments and warehouse operations stay with you.
Is Saddl OS an inventory management system we can buy on its own?
No. Saddl OS is the system our team works in, and it comes as part of the managed service rather than as a standalone subscription.
What needs to arrive next?
Bring the stock concern, your lead times and the teams involved. The account audit shows where replenishment decisions need help. It takes 48 hours, starting once your account is connected and the data backfill is complete.
