“The formulas have been around for years. They just get skipped, because doing them by hand takes hours nobody on the floor actually has. So I built the tool I always wanted. What used to cost me a full day now takes minutes.”

| Gabapentin 100 mg | 1,239 | 1,141 | 0.02 |
A category header, a subtotal row, a negative on-hand count and a cost that exported as zero. Nothing here tells you when to order.
| Item | Reorder at | Order qty | Class |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carprofen Flavored Tab 75 mg | 139 | 180 | B |
| Maropitant Inj 10mg/mL (Cerenia) | 25 | 20 | A |
| Apoquel 16 mg | 192 | 250 | A |
| Gabapentin 100 mg | 423 | 1000 | C |
Junk rows dropped, the negative count and the zero cost flagged for you to fix, and every item carries the two numbers that drive an order plus its ABC class.

Generic calculators need endless manual adjustment. This engine is pre-wired for the realities of a busy practice, which is where the day actually goes.
Chronic meds and clinical-batch items sell in unpredictable bursts. They're the single hardest thing to stock by hand, normally meaning a long stretch of deciding which items even qualify, then pulling each dispense history one item at a time. StockSolve flags these automatically and reads each item's own 12-month pattern to suggest a minimum shelf quantity in the exact amounts it actually sells in, not a forced 30/60/90. One click sets it, and it saves to your cloud Master Key so you never calculate it again.
Suggested 165, from your active months: 60, 60, 90, 120, 165. Saved to your cloud Master Key.
Generic formulas tell you to order 37.4 pills. That doesn't work in the real world. StockSolve uses practical veterinary knowledge to automatically map your trackable items to standard distributor box, bottle, and flat sizes, ensuring your suggested orders are actually buyable.
Every ignore, custom pack size, vendor cost, min-shelf target, and purchasing note saves straight to your cloud Master Key, and StockSolve keeps only your genuine overrides, never clutter. Upload next month's report and your institutional memory applies itself in seconds. No spreadsheet to maintain, no customizations to redo, ever.
Switching brands or reference lab suppliers? StockSolve automatically detects dying items and suggests merging their historical sales data into your new products, keeping future forecasts perfectly accurate without manual spreadsheet gymnastics.

Tired of the manual data entry nightmare? Take your calculated results to update your PIMS alerts, OR drop your Master Key into our Reorder Hub to completely automate perfectly optimized buy sheets every week.
reorder point =
(avg daily use × lead time)
+ safety stock
safety stock = Z × σmonthly × √(lead time ÷ 30.4)
Standard inventory math, applied per item across your whole catalog. Nothing invented, nothing hidden.
See it worked by handThree months of history still gives you reorder points you can act on, and we say plainly that seasonality needs a full year. You never get a confident number built on nothing.
Negative counts, missing costs and unmapped pack sizes are ranked by how much money each one actually affects, so you fix what matters and skip what does not.
The calls you make on odd items are saved and applied next month, which is why the second run is faster than the first.
The core toolkit that transforms your raw data into actionable clinical and financial power, with dynamic parsing algorithms for precise data mapping.
Plus the Financial Trends Hub and the multi-site Transfer Hub, both covered below.



Every item scored in one grid: reorder point, order quantity, days of supply, and the live Insights HUD pricing what your shelf is really holding.
Upload your raw CSVs to instantly generate a precise Master Key. Find the exact mathematical sweet spot between preventing stock-outs and freeing up trapped cash flow from holding costs.
Get the data-driven smart control you need to stop stock-outs and recover cash flow with subscription options built to fit your practice’s budget.
Month-to-month access to the full inventory algorithm. Cancel anytime.
Lock in your savings for the year and optimize your entire practice.
Self-serve volume pricing for hospital groups. Add locations as you grow and the discount applies automatically.

A roadmap you can actually see. One click saves a monthly snapshot from your Valuation dashboard, the Trends Hub picks it up automatically, and every month becomes a point on the curves. There is nothing to re-upload. You just watch the practice get healthier month over month.
Saving monthly builds a streak, and every dollar of trapped capital you recover banks into a Bronze to Diamond odometer that never moves backward. A bad month adds zero. It never subtracts.
Insight cards that name your own numbers and put a dollar figure on the problem, like a quiet COGS creep running about $10k a year, then link straight to the screen that fixes it. They stay silent when things are healthy.
Efficiency tracked against the 18 to 22% band and true inventory turnover against 8 to 12 times a year, with honest pace estimates so you know how far off you really are.
The printable Owner's One-Pager puts this month's wins on a single page, plus a one-click accountant-ready year export for year-end COGS reconciliation.
Built for practices whose products and services are categorized wrong in their PIMS, or were never categorized at all. Upload your full catalog and the Setup Assistant sorts every line using the Chart of Accounts from the American Animal Hospital Association and Veterinary Management Groups, the public AAHA/VMG standard, so the rest of StockSolve just works. Because StockSolve is on your side, we do the tedious part for you.
Pharmacy, diets, retail, in-house lab, injectables and preventatives. This is the billable stock that ties up your cash, and it flows straight into the Optimizer and Reorder Hub.
Real products billed under a service line, like ProHeart, Cytopoint, Bravecto and vaccines. We catch these so they get ordered and valued correctly instead of disappearing into “labor.”
Exams, surgery time, hospitalization, boarding, grooming. Kept out of your inventory math so the numbers stay clean.
Gloves, gauze, syringes and suture. Visual bins handle these perfectly well, so we set them aside automatically.
An instant first pass plus a guided review you control, so a 4-hour manual sort becomes a quick triage. Pick your reference lab (IDEXX, Antech, Zoetis) and we collapse dozens of cryptic send-out codes into one clean “Outside Reference Lab” category in a single click.

The Transfer Hub syncs the Master Keys from each of your separately subscribed hospital accounts. You upload each location's current counts, which stay in your browser and never touch our servers, and it builds a clear transfer plan: which items, how many, and from which hospital to which.
StockSolve started with a frustration I couldn't quite let go of. As a CVPM and Director of Operations for multi-site hospitals, I spent years trying to find a better way to manage inventory: sitting through the lectures, working through the management playbooks, hoping someone would finally connect the dots.
Instead I kept hearing the same thing. Helpful-sounding advice that stopped right where the real math should begin, usually with a gentle warning that a data-driven approach was “too complicated” for a busy practice.
But it was never really that complicated. The formulas have been around for years. They just get skipped, because doing them by hand takes hours nobody on the floor actually has.
If you've ever placed a panicked late-night order for something you could've sworn you just had, or quietly overbought for months just to feel safe and then watched that money sit on a shelf, you know how it wears on you and your team.
I built StockSolve because I was tired of watching good people carry that stress, and honestly tired of feeling it myself. It's the tool I wish I'd had on the clinic floor from the very start: something that quietly handles the hard part, so a little of that weight can finally lift.
Everything you need to know about optimizing with StockSolve.
You do not need a spreadsheet background. There are really only two decisions: when to reorder something, and how much to bring in. Our beginner's guide walks through both from scratch, with a worked example and the three habits worth starting this week. When you want the data out of your system, the PIMS export guides cover the exact reports to pull. If you would rather start with something tiny today, log what you run out of in the free stockout log.
Start with what you have. The engine averages however many months you upload and annualizes them, so three months still gives you reorder points you can act on today. A shorter window mainly costs you seasonality, which needs a full year to show up at all, and it sharpens every month you add.
No. We use a 'Workflow vs. Wealth' security model. We securely save your operational configurations (like pack sizes, item names, and correction rules) to your cloud profile so you don't have to repeat work. However, your actual on-hand quantities, total revenue, and total capital liability never leave your computer's local memory. For your records, you can download a hard-copy ZIP archive of your entire configuration at any time.
No, and that is by design. We don't want to lock you into heavy, permanent API commitments or risk exposing your financial data. You simply export your standard CSV reports (Sales, COGS, Inventory On Hand) from your PIMS and upload them securely to our engine.
No. Visual bin systems and red tags are perfectly fine for white goods. StockSolve is engineered specifically to optimize high-value, billed, trackable items within your PIMS (like your pharmacy, retail, prescription diets, in-house lab supplies, and high-value injectables). Basically, if you buy it from a supplier and bill it through your PIMS, we can optimize it.
Not if you don't want to! While you *can* use our engine to calculate the numbers and manually update the reorder thresholds inside your PIMS, most of our users simply load their generated Master Key into our Reorder Hub to completely automate their weekly buying logic directly inside StockSolve.
Not at all. You can use StockSolve on a month-to-month basis for $36/month, completely risk-free. However, if you choose to pay annually upfront, you save 30% on the overall cost.
Upload one export and see the trapped cash, the reorder points and the items quietly costing you money. Free, no credit card, and your figures stay in your browser.
