Order too little and you sell out in December. Order too much and your cash sits in a stockroom until next year. Posto sizes every order for the season you're buying into, then shows you what's left over afterwards.
Black Friday inventory checklistStart 30 days freeIf most of your sales land between Thanksgiving and Christmas, there's no second chance. A product that sells out on December 10 can't be restocked in time, and those sales are gone.
But overbuying is just as costly. Every extra unit is cash you can't spend on next year's range. The goal isn't more stock, it's the right stock, ordered early enough.
Black Friday 2026 is November 27. Our checklist has order-by dates for common lead times.
Last year's event days are taken out of your history first, so your everyday demand isn't inflated by one big weekend.
Posto projects each product's demand across the lead time and the cover you want, following its recent trend, with Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the holiday peak on top.
Stock built up for a peak isn't flagged as overstock. Once the peak is over, anything beyond your plan shows up, so you know what to clear.
Holiday events are built in from the day you install, so your first recommendations already plan for them. Add your suppliers' lead times so the timing comes out right, and once 3 orders from a supplier arrive, Posto measures the real one.
The built-in lifts are deliberately modest starting points: 3 times normal demand for Black Friday weekend and 1.6 times for the holiday peak. Raise or lower them to match your own history, and the breakdown shows exactly how each one affects the order.
Partly. Black Friday and the holiday peak are built in, but Posto can read about the last 60 days of orders from Shopify, which isn't enough to learn a once-a-year spring peak on its own. For a peak like Mother's Day, raise the days of cover on the products that spike a few weeks before you order, and the breakdown shows the effect.
Holiday event days are kept out of your everyday average, so January's recommendations aren't inflated by December's rush.
Yes. Posto's dashboard groups products into out of stock, reorder now, no recent sales, overstocked, and healthy, with the extra stock valued at what you paid for it.
