Sound familiar?
- Doesn't know how much money is sitting in stock right now.
- Reorders on instinct, so best-sellers run out while slow movers pile up.
- Last season's stock is still there while new styles are bought for fear of missing a trend.
- The system count and the shelf count differ, and nobody reconciles them.
After reading, you can
Help a seller hold enough stock to avoid stockouts without freezing their cash.
Each chapter answers one question
Chapter 1: One more batch just to be safe: safe for whom?
How much money is tied up in my stock right now?
This number is usually larger than sellers think, and it is money you cannot spend.
Chapter 2: What goes wrong when I reorder by gut feel?
At what quantity should I reorder each SKU?
A reorder point written in advance turns a stressful decision into a mechanical task.
Chapter 3: Will slow stock sell if I just wait longer?
Which of my SKUs have not sold a single unit in sixty days?
Stock that has not sold after ninety days rarely starts selling on day one hundred and eighty.
Chapter 4: Three channels: triple the orders, or triple the trouble?
How is my stock count updated across channels?
Selling in three places while counting stock in one is a recipe for cancelled orders and bad reviews.
Chapter 5: Chasing trends: quick profit, or quick dead stock?
How much should I order of a trend-driven item?
Trend items make money fast and turn into dead stock just as fast, so order size is the most important decision.
