Stock health
04 · InventoryIs stock available without tying up too much cash?
Stock is cash sitting on a shelf. Too little and you lose sales. Too much and money is stuck in goods that are not moving. Stock health is about holding the right amount.
What to track
Stock on hand
What you hold, in quantity and in value, counted from one reliable record.
Stock-outs
The times a customer asked for something you did not have.
Slow movers
Items that have not sold for a long time and are tying up cash.
Check fast-moving items weekly and the whole range monthly.
