Data model
The retail signals Coodra reads.
Sales, stock, catalog, supplier, order, margin, and review context are most useful when they can be understood together.

Signals get useful when they are connected
Sales velocity by itself can say a product is moving. Stock tells whether that movement is about to become a problem. Margin says whether the problem is worth attention. Supplier lead time changes the timing. Review feedback tells Coodra whether the retailer agreed last time.
Quality checks

Reason
Duplicate products
Duplicates split demand and make reorders look weaker than they are.
Stale stock counts
Old stock data can turn a good reorder recommendation into noise.
Missing cost or margin
Margin-sensitive decisions need financial context.
Supplier lead-time gaps
Timing matters when a reorder cannot arrive tomorrow.
