Says which models are easy or hard to sell in your shop, from speed, the share sold, the long tail and markdowns, counting devices still in stock.
- Who can do this:
- Owner, Store Admin, Manager, Supervisor-Approver, Cashier, Appraiser, Technician, Inventory staff, Accountant, Auditor, Viewer, Dealer (role defaults; the owner can change them)
This score tells you which models are easy or hard to sell in your own shop. It is worked out from real sales and from the stock still on the shelf. Every part of the score can be opened, and when there is too little data the system says "not enough data" instead of guessing.
Which devices are used
-
Devices sold in the last 180 days. Only sales that sit in a completed sale document count; a voided or returned sale does not.
-
Every device still in the shop, however long it has been there.
-
A device that has been in the shop for less than 7 days is not yet evidence of speed, and a device in repair or waiting for inspection is not counted as on sale. It still counts as tied-up capital.
Days use the same definition as every report: counted from the day the device went into stock ready to sell. See Days-to-Sell.
The score comes from four parts
The score out of 100 comes from four parts, each with its own weight.
| Part | What it measures | Full points when | Zero points when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed (the largest weight) | days by which half of the devices have sold | faster than a quarter of your slow-moving limit | slower than twice the slow-moving limit |
| Sold share | the share that sold, against those sold plus those unsold for over a week | everything sold | nothing sold |
| Long tail | days by which nine in ten devices have sold | within the slow-moving limit | slower than twice the dead-stock limit |
| Markdowns | the share of devices whose list price had to be lowered | none was lowered | half of the devices were lowered |
A part that cannot be measured, for example when there is no price history yet, is left out of the score and the weights of the others are adjusted. The true profit of the model is shown beside the score for you to read, but it is not part of the score.
Devices not sold yet
A device that has not sold is neither dropped nor counted as sold. The system treats its time to sell as "at least" its age. If so many devices are stuck that the time for half of them cannot be worked out, the figure is shown with "≥", meaning at least that long. This way a model where two devices sold quickly but the rest are stuck is not called easy to sell.
How the groups are decided
-
Easy to sell (want): a score of 70 or more, and at least 3 devices sold.
-
Hard to sell (careful): a score of 35 or less.
-
Normal: everything else.
-
Not enough data: fewer than 5 devices that count as evidence. The system gives no score and no advice.
Every group shows its confidence and the number of devices behind it. Confidence starts moderate when the data just reaches the minimum and rises with more devices, but never passes the ceiling the system sets.
Where to see it
-
The Easy / hard-to-sell models page lists every model with the parts of its score.
-
The Stock risk report report exports the same list. The capital and profit columns are visible only to members with View cost and profit.
-
The easy and hard badges in the stock list, in the wanted list, and under the Safe Buy price when you buy.
Not the same as liquidity on the valuation page
The liquidity score on the valuation page looks at price data for the model and spec being valued. This score looks at how fast devices your shop bought really sold, including those still stuck. The two scores can differ, and you can use them together.
Good to know
The score comes only from the sales history of this shop. It does not look at market prices or the condition of a device. The figures are decision support, not a guarantee that any model will sell. All thresholds are starting proposals that the development team can adjust, not a market standard.
