Reorder Capture
Your best customers don't always leave. They just stop ordering.
An 8-week account goes to 11 weeks. Then 14. Every individual week looks normal — until the year-end report. We model each account's normal reorder cycle, flag overdue accounts, and launch human-approved win-back outreach before the account is gone.
Watch the reorder board flag overdue accounts on sample data.
The problem in numbers
A typical scenario
The reorder gap is easy to miss until the money is already gone. One account usually orders every 8 weeks at a $14,000 average order value. Then the cycle stretches:
week 8 — no order
week 10 — still no order
week 12 — nobody has called
week 14 — still silent
year-end review — several missed orders
Illustrative example — your numbers will differ
Nothing dramatic happened. No complaint, no cancellation, no lost bid. Just no reorder. The earlier the gap shows up, the easier it is for a CSR or rep to make one useful check-in.

How it works
The actual mechanics
- 01
Order-history modeling
We start with 12–24 months of order history from one system of record — ERP export, invoicing, order log, spreadsheet, HubSpot, or Pipedrive. For each account we model typical reorder interval, average order size, frequency, trend, and seasonality where it exists.
- 02
Early-warning thresholds
Each account gets its own overdue threshold. A fast-cycle customer may need attention after 10 weeks; a seasonal account may not be late at all. This is not a one-size 'no order in 90 days' rule — it looks for meaningful deviation from each account's normal pattern.
- 03
Lapsed-account board
One board sorted by risk and value: account, last order date, usual cycle, expected reorder window, days overdue, average order value, trend, owner, recommended next touch, and outcome. Your team works a list instead of a memory.
- 04
Human-approved win-back outreach
Each overdue account gets a suggested next step. Lower-risk accounts get a simple service check-in; high-value accounts may warrant a phone call instead of an email. AI drafts, your team approves every touch.
- 05
Weekly reorder rhythm
New overdue accounts land in a weekly digest and on the board. Not another app your team forgets to open — a simple weekly routine: review, approve, call, update outcomes.

Timeline & pricing
from $8,000
Reorder Recovery Sprint: $1,497 fixed, 10–14 days — one pass through order history, an overdue-account list, win-back drafts, and a simple follow-up workflow. The permanent Reorder Capture System: 3–5 weeks, priced after the demo call.
Most clients start with the $1,497 Reorder Recovery Sprint. If the sprint proves meaningful reorder leakage, the Reorder Capture System (from $8,000) turns it into an ongoing operating rhythm: a living order-cycle model, weekly alerts, routing, and a dashboard. Final pricing depends on account count, data quality, number of order sources, and dashboard complexity.
Fit
Who it's for — and who it isn't
Good fit
- — Manufacturers with meaningful repeat orders
- — Packaging and label converters, industrial suppliers, component manufacturers
- — Companies with recurring SKUs, repeat jobs, or regular ordering patterns
- — CSR-driven teams where proactive follow-up loses to daily order traffic
- — Owners who find out about account drift too late
Not a fit
- — Pure project businesses with no repeat order pattern
- — Companies with only a handful of accounts everyone truly knows by heart
- — Mass e-commerce reorder flows
- — Enterprise teams already running advanced customer health scoring
- — Businesses with no usable order history
Industries
Where we run it
CNC Machine Shops
RFQs pile up in the estimator's inbox while quotes that already went out sit untracked.
Packaging & Label Converters
Repeat accounts lapse silently — the gap shows up in the year-end report, not in time to act.
Furniture & Millwork
Bids go dark for weeks and nobody can say which projects are alive and which are dead.

FAQ
Common questions
What is Reorder Capture?
A system that uses order history to find repeat customers who are late to reorder. It models each account's normal order cycle, flags overdue accounts, and gives your team a prioritized list of customers worth contacting.
How is Reorder Capture different from Reorder Recovery?
Reorder Recovery is the first sprint: one pass through order history to find overdue accounts and launch approved win-back outreach. Reorder Capture is the permanent system: ongoing monitoring, weekly alerts, a live board, and routing. Most companies start with the sprint.
Where does the order data come from?
Your system of record: ERP exports, invoicing, order logs, spreadsheets, HubSpot, Pipedrive, or another CRM. For the first sprint, account names, order dates, SKU details, quantities, and basic contact info are often enough.
What does an early warning actually look like?
If an account usually orders every 8 weeks and now it is week 11 with no order, the account appears on the overdue board — with its history, usual cycle, value, owner, and recommended next touch.
What if our order cycles are irregular?
They do not need to be perfect. The model works from each account's own history; seasonal or irregular buyers get wider tolerances so the board does not fill with false alarms. The goal is meaningful deviation, not pretending every account is predictable.
Will this annoy customers?
Not if the outreach is useful. A good reorder message sounds like service: "You usually reorder this around now — want us to check stock, reserve production time, or prepare the next run?" That is paying attention, not spam.
Who sends the win-back messages?
Your team. AI can draft the message, but a CSR, rep, or account owner approves it before anything is sent. For high-value accounts the system may recommend a phone call instead of an email.
What if there are no overdue accounts worth contacting?
Then the sprint has still answered an important question. If the data shows there is not enough reorder leakage to justify a system, we tell you instead of forcing the build.
