Replenishment
When new inventory arrives at the store, our Brand Agents can audit and ensure the product is properly stocked on the shelf. Replenishment involves restocking shelves as products are sold to maintain adequate inventory levels.
Shelf Organization
Inventory must be organized in a logical manner to facilitate easy access and efficient retrieval. This includes categorizing products, arranging them on shelves or racks, and labeling them appropriately.
Inventory Tracking
Tracking the movement of inventory within the store is essential for accurate inventory management. This can be done manually using inventory count sheets or through automated systems such as barcode scanners and inventory management software.
Stock Counts and Audits
Regular stock counts and audits are conducted to reconcile physical inventory levels with recorded inventory levels in the system. Discrepancies are investigated to identify the root causes and prevent inventory shrinkage or loss.
Inventory Optimization
Optimization involves balancing inventory levels to meet customer demand while minimizing carrying costs and the risk of stockouts or overstocking. This may involve setting reorder points, safety stock levels, and economic order quantities for efficient inventory replenishment.
Promotions and Markdowns
Inventory management also includes planning and executing promotions, discounts, and markdowns to clear excess inventory, boost sales, and maximize profitability.
