Inventory FAQ
How can I reduce stockouts without increasing inventory costs?
The key is improving forecasting accuracy and replenishment timing. Better inventory planning helps businesses place orders earlier and allocate inventory more efficiently without simply carrying more stock.
What causes excess inventory in ecommerce?
Common causes include inaccurate forecasts, overly aggressive purchasing, changing consumer demand, long lead times, and poor visibility into product-level performance.
How much inventory should I keep on hand?
The right inventory level depends on sales velocity, supplier lead times, service level targets, and demand variability. Inventory decisions should be based on projected demand rather than fixed rules.
How do stockouts affect profitability?
Stockouts reduce revenue, weaken marketplace rankings, increase customer acquisition costs, and can create long-term demand loss that extends beyond the period of unavailability.
What inventory metrics should ecommerce businesses monitor?
Key metrics include days of cover, fill rate, inventory turns, excess inventory exposure, stockout risk, sell-through rate, and forecast accuracy.
