Stokrio for beauty & skincare

Plan formulas, packaging and expiry in one place

Beauty brands juggle shelf life, minimum batch sizes and a long list of components. Stokrio forecasts finished products, turns them into packaging and ingredient requirements, and flags lots before they expire.

The problem

Why beauty & skincare inventory is hard

Expiry and shelf life

Overbuying isn't just tied-up cash — product expires. You need to know which lots are close to date and pick them first.

Components run out first

The jar, pump or carton often has a longer lead time than the formula. A missing component stops a production run.

Minimum batch sizes

Contract manufacturers and packaging suppliers have high minimums, so each order has to cover more months of demand.

Kits and gift sets

Gift sets pull stock from the same products you sell individually; planning them separately double-counts or under-counts demand.

How Stokrio fits

Built for the way you plan

Raw-material planning & production

Packaging and ingredients from the forecast

Bills of materials with batch sizes and scrap turn finished-goods forecasts into demand for jars, bottles, labels and bases.

Lots, expiry & serial numbers

Expiry radar and FEFO

Lot numbers and expiry dates captured at receiving; see what's expired or expiring in 30 and 90 days and pick first-expired-first-out.

Replenishment & reorder planning

Minimums and case packs

Suggestions respect supplier minimums and carton sizes, with a budget fit when cash is tight.

Demand forecasting

Gift sets counted once

Bundle sales count as demand for each component product, so sets and singles are planned from one forecast.

A typical rhythm

What planning looks like week to week

  1. 01

    Weekly

    Review the material requirements report and order components with the longest lead times first.

  2. 02

    At receiving

    Capture lot and expiry on each delivery so the expiry radar stays accurate.

  3. 03

    Monthly

    Check the excess and aging reports for products that won't sell through before their expiry.

Questions

Can I track expiry by lot?
Yes. Lot numbers and expiry dates are recorded per receipt and shown by location, with expired and expiring lots highlighted.
Does Stokrio plan packaging?
Yes. Add packaging and ingredients to a bill of materials and Stokrio forecasts and reorders them from the products that use them.
How are gift sets handled?
A gift set sale counts as demand for each product inside it, so component products are reordered with sets included.
