Inventory planning is one of the biggest challenges when running a business - especially when incoming RTO stock, restocking timelines, and stock coverage aren’t always easy to predict.
​

This month, we’ve rolled out several improvements designed to give you clearer visibility into your inventory and stronger signals for restocking decisions.
​

From better RTO forecasting to AI-powered stock alerts and a brand new inventory planner, these updates are designed to help you stay ahead of stock shortages, avoid unnecessary overstocking, and plan sourcing with more confidence.
​

Alongside this, we’ve also introduced a refreshed Tracking Page UI to improve the post-purchase experience for your customers.
​

As always, these updates are shaped by real partner feedback and the everyday realities of scaling a COD e-commerce business.

​

We’ve introduced a set of improvements designed to help you understand inventory movement better and make faster restocking decisions.
​

From predicting incoming RTO inventory to planning stock levels directly from the dashboard, these updates give you clearer signals about what’s happening with your inventory and what action may be needed next.
​

We’ve enhanced Inventory Analytics to give you clearer visibility into RTO inventory that is returning back to your stock.
​

You can now track:
​

• RTO In Transit and RTO Inward Pending summaries across warehouses
• Average inward timelines to understand how long returns take to reach inventory
• Incoming RTO forecasts for the next 7 and 15 days
• Product-level RTO split between In Transit and Inward Pending
​

You can also track RTO shipments across all stores within your organization using the Track Shipment option.
​

To make this easier to understand, we’ve also added tooltips across relevant data points to guide you wherever needed.
​

RTO inventory often creates uncertainty when planning stock levels.

With clearer visibility and forecasting, you can now anticipate when inventory will return to stock and make better sourcing decisions.
​

This helps you:
​

• Avoid unnecessary restocking
• Plan product availability more accurately
• Maintain healthier stock levels
​

We’ve introduced a brand new Inventory Planner that allows you to plan restocking directly from your Live Inventory dashboard.
​

Instead of manually estimating stock requirements, you can now plan sourcing in seconds based on real inventory signals.
​

You can now see your true available stock by combining:

• Current Stock
• Incoming Stock
• Projected RTO Returns
​

This gives you a much clearer and more realistic view of available inventory.
​

Instantly understand how many days your inventory will last based on your dispatch velocity.
​

Choose how you want to plan your inventory:

• Maintenance Mode – Maintain stable stock levels
• Scaling Mode – Plan inventory for business growth
​

You can now launch the Inventory Planner directly from the inventory table, allowing you to move from analysis to sourcing instantly.
​

Restocking decisions often require analyzing multiple metrics manually.
​

The Inventory Planner simplifies this process by clearly showing when to reorder and how much to source, helping you maintain the right balance between stock availability and capital efficiency.
​

​

We’ve also introduced AI Smart Recommendations within Inventory Analytics to help you quickly identify critical inventory situations.
​

The system now automatically analyzes your inventory trends and highlights important signals such as:
​

Get notified when products are running out of stock while pending orders still exist, so you can restock before losing potential sales.
​

Identify products that have excess inventory coverage, helping you slow down sourcing or adjust your strategy.
​

These insights surface automatically so you don’t need to manually analyze multiple data points.
​

Inventory decisions usually require constant monitoring and analysis.
​

With AI recommendations, the system now highlights the most important signals automatically, helping you act faster and manage inventory more efficiently.
​

If you’d like to start using these updates immediately, here are a few quick things worth checking:
​

Open Inventory Management and check the 7-day and 15-day RTO forecast.

You may find that some inventory is already returning to stock, which could help you avoid placing an unnecessary restocking request.
​

Open the Inventory Planner from your Live Inventory dashboard and review the days of stock coverage for your top-selling products.

This helps you quickly identify:

• Products that may go out of stock soon
• Products that may already have enough incoming inventory
​

Visit Inventory Analytics to see if any AI Smart Recommendations are highlighting low-stock risks or overstock situations.

These signals can help you take action before inventory issues impact your orders
​

We’ve also rolled out a refreshed UI for the Tracking Page to improve the post-purchase experience for your customers.
​

The update introduces:

• A cleaner layout
• Improved visual structure
• A more intuitive tracking experience

These improvements help make your branded tracking page easier for customers to understand when they check their order status.
​

The tracking page is one of the most frequently visited pages after an order is placed.
​

With a cleaner interface and better visual structure, you can now offer your customers a more professional and easy-to-follow tracking experience, strengthening your brand’s post-purchase journey.

​

We’ve continued expanding the Product Research Tool to help you discover, compare, and sell smarter.
