Why not all products are equal
Imagine a warehouse brimming with products, yet you treat them all the same, regardless of their significance or demand. Sounds like a recipe for inefficiency, right? Enter Inventory Stratification, a technique that might just be the key to elevating your E-Commerce game.
The significance of inventory stratification: Beyond mere storage
Inventory Stratification isn't just a fancy way to arrange products on shelves. It's a vital strategy for any E-Commerce business aiming to manage its inventory in an efficient and profitable manner. This technique allows you to segment your inventory into different levels or "strata" based on various factors like demand, profitability, and turnover.
The strata: Breaking down the technique
In Inventory Stratification, products are divided into different strata, each with its own set of management rules and strategies:
- Top tier: These are the most valuable products that generate the bulk of your revenue. They require a more intensive focus in terms of marketing and should always be in stock.
- Middle tier: These products have moderate demand and profitability. They're important but not critical, requiring a balanced management approach.
- Bottom tier: These are the least valuable products that contribute minimally to your revenue. While necessary to offer a full range of products, they don't require a significant investment in terms of time and resources.
