Performance Tracking Stock Control Template – Client View

This comprehensive Excel template is specifically designed for Performance Tracking within a Stock Control environment, tailored to the needs of end-users in a Clients View (Client View). The purpose of this template is to offer transparent, real-time visibility into inventory levels, stock movement, and performance metrics—empowering clients to make informed decisions while maintaining operational efficiency.

The integration of Performance Tracking ensures that every aspect of stock control—from restocking alerts to sales velocity—is monitored over time. The Stock Control functionality allows for accurate inventory management, with automated calculations and alerts based on predefined thresholds. Designed with a clean, intuitive interface, the Clients View ensures that non-technical users can access and interpret critical data without needing to understand underlying financial or logistics models.

Table Structures & Data Types

The core data structure is based on relational design principles with primary keys to ensure data integrity across sheets. Each table has consistent naming conventions and standard column types.

1. Stock Inventory Dashboard (Main Table)

All data fields are structured using standardized types:

• Text (String): Product ID, Description, Category.
• Integer: Current Stock, Reorder Level.
• Date-Time: Last Restock Date, Expiry Date (optional).
• Decimal/Double: Sales Velocity (in units/month), Profit Margin.
• Text with Status Tags: Status field uses predefined values for low, normal, or high performance.

2. Product Performance Tracking (Time-Series Table)

Formulas Required for Dynamic Calculations

• Cumulative Stock (End of Month): =SUMIFS($D$3:$D$100, $A$3:$A$100, A2, $B$3:$B$100, “>=” & EOMONTH($B2,-1))
• Sales Velocity: =IF(AND([Sales Volume]>0), AVERAGEIFS(Sales Volume Range, Date Range, “>=”&DATE(2024,1,1)), 0)
• Status Flag (Low/Normal/High): =IF(C2<=ReorderLevel,"Low",IF(C2>=ReorderLevel*1.5,"High","Normal"))
• Stock Movement Balance: =Stock Inbound - Stock Outbound
• Forecasted Demand (Next Month): =AVERAGE(Previous 3 Months Sales) * 1.05 (Growth factor)

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Low Stock Highlight: If “Current Stock” ≤ Reorder Level → Background turns red, text bold.
