Stock represents money a business has invested in goods for sale to or in inputs for services and products that will be sold. But stock does not all move at equal rates. Some sell regularly, while others may remain on the shelves or in store for weeks or months. When business owners cannot pinpoint slow-moving and dead stock, money is tied up in goods and inputs that don’t generate income.
Know What Is Moving and What Is Not
Looking at a store or warehouse may give the impression the business is well stocked, but it doesn’t show how quickly individual items sell. Demand levels are different for different items and some may no longer have any natural demand. So a method of keeping track of stock performance is what you need to help clearly identify these differences.
Putting Working Capital to Better Use
Money released from slow-moving stock can be used to purchase products that customers need very quickly, or to pay expenses and support other business activities. Identifying such stock is the key to opportunities to plan how to unlock that money.
A customer story shared during one of our Live sessions illustrated the impacts of identifying dead stock. By identifying it he opened the way to reduce it and reduced it by 60%. They started by monitoring which products were moving and which were not. And identifying the dead stock was the trigger for action.
With good stock data, you can identify the potential for taking action and that’s what BORESHABiZ® does – it helps business owners monitor stock movement and identify dead stock, making it easier to make the right decisions and take action.
