Ops Planning · Monthly Target 800 Delivered

Delivery Cadence Scorecard

Ads and order-generation run 7 days a week. Delivery only runs 6 (Mon–Sat). This is what that mismatch means in numbers.

Delivered orders target 800/mo
Delivery rate 35%
Orders needed (placed) 2,286/mo
Ad spend needed 8.0M/mo
Effective cost / delivered order 10,000

Choose your scale

Delivery rate (35%) and ad cost per order (₦3,500) stay fixed as the shared assumptions — your product cost, remittance, FX rate, and monthly target below are all yours to change. Built so anyone on the team can drop their own product in and get their own plan.

Your product's numbers

Swap these for your own product's cost and payout — everything downstream (money trail, restocking, the 91-day trail, P&L) recalculates from these, not just from the watch business above.

Landed cost: ₦12,000/unit Revenue: ₦41,040/delivered order (GH₵360 × 114)
Recommended starting capital 8,000,000
Covers starting stock + its clearing, one week of ads, and the first restock order, with a working safety margin — the same ratio that held up in the 800/month model.

Starting stock is sized at ~1.6× a week's steady-state delivered volume — enough headroom that you never approach the floor the way a bare one-week supply would (see the sawtooth in the launch trail below). Type any number above — the week-cadence tables, restocking figures, the full 91-day day-by-day trail, and the 3-month P&L further down all regenerate for whatever target you enter, not just a fixed set of presets.

The week at a glance

Ads fire every day. Delivery capacity disappears on Sunday — and shows up again, doubled, on Monday.

Order generation & ad spend runs 7 days/week

This is what buys the orders — spend is live every day, Sunday included.

Delivery & fulfillment runs 6 days/week — Mon–Sat

Same monthly orders, squeezed into ~26 working days instead of 30 — so the daily load is heavier than it looks.

The Monday problem

Sunday's orders can't be delivered on Sunday — they queue up and land on Monday on top of Monday's own volume.

Normal day (Tue–Sat) ~77 orders
Monday (Sunday backlog + Monday's own) ~154 orders

The money trail

Capital moves in Naira. Customers pay Cedis. Here's the full loop, and what's actually left over per delivered watch.

1 · Capital (₦)8,000,000 start. Spent on stock + ads, in Naira.
2 · Stock landed (₦)8,000 stock paid at order time. ₦4,000 clearing paid immediately the goods arrive — the 7 days is shipping lead time, not a payment delay.
3 · Ads → orders (₦)₦3,500 per confirmed order. Every order dispatches a unit, delivered or not.
4 · Customer pays (GH₵)~GH₵360 collected on delivery by the courier, in Cedis, not Naira.
5 · Weekly remittanceCourier pays out accumulated GH₵ every Sunday, converted to ₦ at 114.
6 · Reinvest (₦)₦ funds next week's ads and next week's restock order (that batch's clearing is paid the moment it lands, 7 days later).

Per delivered order — what actually lands

Assumes a failed delivery's unit comes back to you and gets resold (confirmed) — so stock cost is per unit sold, not per unit dispatched. Ad spend has no such safety net: every attempt is spent, delivered or not.

Restocking

Two different numbers answer two different questions — mixing them up is how you either stock out or tie up cash you didn't need to.

QuestionPer weekPer month
Units to keep dispatch-ready (covers every placed order) 534 2,286
Fresh units to actually reorder (steady state — returns cover the rest) 187 800

The gap between those two rows is the ~65% that don't deliver — since your courier returns them, they recirculate for free and only the 187/week figure needs new money spent on it. That's your restock order, placed every week.

Month 1 — full 31-day trail

Full rate from day 1 (no throttle) — 300 units comfortably covers 187 delivered/week. Illustrative: 1st falls on a Monday. Clearing is paid the moment each batch clears customs, not on a delay — the 7 days is shipping lead time only.

DayOrders placedAd spendDeliveredStock on handEventCash balance

Stock rides a weekly sawtooth: it peaks every Monday when that week's restock batch lands, then bleeds down through Tue–Sat as deliveries go out, holding flat over Sunday (no delivery), before the next Monday tops it back up.

The only day cash gets thin is day 1 itself — every day after that it only grows, since a Monday's arriving batch is already paid for by the Sunday before it. No throttling needed: the target is hit in month 1, not phased in.

Month 2 — full 30-day trail (day 32–61)

Same weekly cycle, no resets — day count just keeps running from month 1, so the weekday pattern (restock Mondays, remittance Sundays) carries straight through. Assumed 30 days.

Month 3 — full 30-day trail (day 62–91)

Identical mechanics again — this is the "cruising" pattern now, on autopilot.

P&L breakdown — ads, revenue, restock, profit

Same 91 days (plus the prep-week purchase), reorganised around the four numbers that actually answer "did this make money": what went into ads, what came back as revenue, what was spent keeping stock flowing, and what's left.

MonthTotal ad spendTotal revenueTotal restock (stock + clearing)Total profit

Restock here is landed cost — stock (₦8,000/unit) and clearing (₦4,000/unit) combined, including the original prep-week batch. Revenue is what was actually remitted in-window; because the 91-day frame runs Monday-to-Sunday in exact 7-day weeks, every delivery in it has also been remitted in it — nothing left uncollected at the edges.
