How to measure inventory turnover and GMROI

Web Updated Aug 2026

Stock that turns slowly is cash sitting on a shelf. RushFlow’s Inventory Turnover & GMROI report shows how fast your stock sells — turnover ratio and days of stock — and your return on inventory investment (GMROI), per product and overall, so you can free up trapped cash and back your winners.

Step by step

  1. Open the reportWeb: Products → Inventory Turnover. Pick a From and To date (defaults to this year) and Run.
  2. Read the metricsEach product shows units sold, on hand, COGS, inventory value, turnover (×), days of stock and GMROI. Summary cards give the overall picture and count slow movers.
  3. ActTurn over your slow movers (turnover below 1×) with promotions or by cutting reorder quantities; put cash behind high-GMROI lines.

What the numbers mean

  • Turnover = cost of goods sold ÷ inventory value — how many times you sold through your stock in the period.
  • Days = period length ÷ turnover — roughly how long stock sits before selling.
  • GMROI = gross margin ÷ inventory value — the profit each unit of inventory investment returns.
