Safety stock calculated from the service level you choose
You decide how available each segment, category or product should be. Veritico STOCK calculates the safety stock that gets you there from forecast error, daily variability and lead‑time uncertainty, and shows what it costs in stock.
Why flat safety stock rules fail
One rule for everything
A fixed number of days of cover treats fast movers and slow movers the same, so some items run out and others pile up.
Availability measured on sales
When stockouts are not visible in the data, the service level on paper is higher than the one customers experience.
Lead time ignored
Suppliers that deliver late or irregularly need more safety stock, but the rule does not know it.
How it works
How Veritico STOCK handles it
01
Segmentation
Items are split by ABC (Pareto) and by sales frequency into slow movers, sporadic and regular items.
02
Target service level
You set the target per ABC segment, category or product.
03
Safety stock
It is calculated from three components: monthly forecast error, daily forecast variability and lead‑time uncertainty.
04
Monitoring
Reports show stockouts and the real service level, items at risk of stockout and dead stock.
What you set in Veritico STOCK
Targets per segment
A items can have a higher target than C items, and the system shows the stock needed for each.
Central and store stock
When a central warehouse supplies stores, part of the safety stock is held centrally.
Automatic lead times
Actual lead times and their variability are calculated from delivery history.
Risk management
Risk rules on top of segmentation for items where a stockout is expensive.

Questions about service levels
Service level is the share of demand you can serve from stock. Veritico STOCK measures it on real demand, including the demand lost while an item was out of stock.
Actual lead times and their variability are calculated from delivery history, so an unreliable supplier gets more safety stock.
