The Challenge: The Inventory Balancing Act That's Costing You
"How much stock should we order?"
"When should we order?"
"What stock is going to expire when - and where is it?"
"Have we got enough stock for our forecasted sales?"
If that question causes you stress, you're not alone. For product businesses, inventory management represents one of the most critical yet challenging operational areas.
Too much inventory ties up precious working capital and risks obsolescence. Too little leads to stockouts, disappointed customers, and missed revenue opportunities. Without a data-driven system, you're essentially gambling with every purchase order.
Many Australian product businesses are still relying on spreadsheets, gut feelings, or simplistic reorder points to manage inventory worth hundreds of thousands—or even millions—of dollars. It's like trying to navigate Sydney traffic with a 1980s street directory.
The Facts: The Real Cost of Poor Inventory Management
-
Australian retailers and product businesses typically tie up 20-30% more capital in inventory than necessary
-
Stockouts cost the average product business 4-8% in annual revenue
-
32% of businesses have had to discount or write off excess inventory in the past year
-
Companies with automated inventory management systems reduce their inventory carrying costs by an average of 25%
-
Inventory errors decrease by 40% when businesses implement real-time tracking systems
Perhaps most concerning, businesses without optimised inventory systems spend 15+ hours per week simply managing stock—time that could be invested in growth activities.
