The strategy to use

Companies working in the retail, catalog and eCommerce space can improve their bottom line profits by using creative inventory strategies. A business can improve the management of its inventory and assets and get their organization more focused on inventory planning, forecasting and analysis. Here are some ideas:

* Reduce your slow selling inventory as close to “in-season” as possible to get a higher cost recovery for it.

* Establish a vendor scorecard to evaluate your vendors on parameters such as on-time deliveries, margins, and issue resolution.

* Ensure that ALL categories and SKUs are forecast using a consistent methodology that makes sense for your company and the types of inventory that you stock.
