Why it matters

Why your revenue report hides the cost of empty shelves

When a product is out of stock, the lost sales simply don't appear in your revenue dashboard, they're invisible. You see what sold; you never see what would have sold if stock had been available. Over time, those invisible losses compound quietly into a significant gap in your annual revenue.

WISEPIM tracks every out-of-stock event per SKU and applies the product's historical daily sales rate to estimate exactly how much revenue you missed while it was unavailable. The result is a ranked list of your biggest stockout losses, absolute revenue missed, number of events and average loss per event, so you can prioritise your reorder and inventory decisions.

Paired with your sales velocity and seasonal demand data, the stockout loss report also flags products approaching risk and estimates their recovery potential if you restock now, turning reactive firefighting into proactive inventory planning.

How it works

How to analyse lost sales from stockouts in WISEPIM

From inventory log to a prioritised restock plan in four steps.

1

Connect your inventory source

Sync stock levels from Shopify, WooCommerce, Lightspeed, Magento or your warehouse system. WISEPIM logs every time a product's available stock hits zero.

2

Review the stockout event log

See every out-of-stock event per SKU, start date, duration, estimated revenue missed and how many times the product went out of stock in your selected period.

3

Rank by recovery potential

Sort products by total lost revenue, event frequency or average loss per event. High-velocity products with repeat stockouts rise to the top of your reorder list.

4

Act on the trend

Use the stockout trend view to spot seasonal patterns, identify supply chain weak points and set reorder points that stop the losses before they happen.
