Invigorate Sales: Ideas for Using Inventory Software

April 4th 2019 15:00:00 PM

Inventory software doesn’t sound like a sales tool, but did you know that you can use it to boost sales?

Depending on the seasonality of your business, this may be a busy time of year or it may be a slow season. If it’s busy, your inventory software can help you keep popular items in stock to maximize sales. And if it’s a slow season, you’ll be able to move sluggish items by identifying them for special sales and clearance events.

Busy Season: Identify Top Sellers

Use your inventory software during busy seasons to:

• Re-order popular and fast-selling items early to keep them in stock
• Proactively identify items your best customers want and need, and contact them to see if they want to increase their orders
• Maintain consistent inventory levels to maximize sales peaks

Slow Season: Identify Sales Items

During slow seasons, inventory software helps you identify aging items to push them out through clearance sales or special deals.

• Identify aging inventory and begin the discounting process
• Update stock counts and reorganize bins and shelves
• Clear out the return area and scan items back into inventory
• Review reports for sales patterns to predict best sellers
