Why Aged Styles Matter
Age isnāt just a number when it comes to inventory!
Understanding how long stock has been sitting in your business helps drive both short-term actionsālike timely markdowns and long-term strategies for smarter assortment planning.
ā
Hereās why analysing inventory by age is critical for healthy inventory management:
Identify Slow-Movers: Quickly identify products that arenāt turning over so you can take action before they become obsolete.
Optimise Stock Levels: Prevent overstocking and free up capital tied in unsold goods.
Minimise Markdowns: By identifying aging stock early, you can plan promotions or discounts strategically, reducing the need for heavy markdowns.
Improve Forecasting: Analysing aged inventory trends helps refine demand forecasting, ensuring better purchasing decisions in the future.
Enhance Profitability: Clearing out older inventory makes room for newer, more profitable products to support maintaining profit margins.
Monitor Product Lifecycle: Track seasonal trends and how quickly different products sell by supporting better product lifecycle management and assortment planning.
