What is Replenishment?

Short answer

Replenishment is sending more stock to a warehouse or dark store before it runs out. On quick commerce, late replenishment shows up as listed-but-out-of-stock.

Worked example

If a Blinkit dark store sells 18 units a day and you replenish twice a week, a missed slot empties the shelf by Friday afternoon.
