Stock Replenishment

What does stock replenishment mean, and why is it important in IT procurement and IT asset management?

Well, if you want to avoid awkward laptop shortage moments, it’s a good idea to take a better approach to stock replenishment: the process of restocking IT assets to keep your inventory up and running. A well-managed replenishment process includes tracking and managing IT inventory, setting minimum stock thresholds, and ordering supplies in advance to avoid delays or shortages.

At Dots, we recommend a just-in-case approach. Companies can hold a buffer of devices in our global warehouses, which means replacements and new-hire devices can be shipped quickly. The platform makes it easy to see when stock levels are running low, and alerts can be set so you know when to reorder. For example, if a company wants to maintain a minimum of 10 laptops in Europe, Dots can ensure that threshold is visible and easy to manage. This reduces onboarding delays and makes IT more reliable. Stock replenishment at Dots is not just about quantity, but also about visibility. You can see which models are in storage, which are being redeployed, and which are on order. This level of transparency helps IT managers plan ahead and avoid last-minute scrambles.
