Empty shelves lose sales, and slow stock locks up cash. Aptic compares what sells with what sits, and tells you what to reorder, what to mark down, and when.
Aptic's offices answer them from your own records, then act on the answer within your settings.
Which best sellers keep running out?
See how often top items were out of stock and what that likely cost in sales.
How much cash is sitting in slow stock?
Find items that have not sold in months and what they are worth.
When should we reorder?
Set reorder points from real sales, not guesswork.
An example
Shelves full. Best sellers missing.
What these numbers suggest when read together.
Illustrative example
Point of sale
Top 20 items out of stock for an average of 9 days last month
Inventory
38% of stock value in items with no sale in 90 days
Accounting
Cash on hand down 25% after the seasonal order
↓
Recommended next step
Cash is tied up in slow items while best sellers run out. Set reorder points for the top 20 items, mark down the slowest stock, and review sales and cash after four weeks.
Why this recommendation?
Confidence: Medium-high. Stock and sales records show both problems; the sales lost to empty shelves are estimated.
A full stockroom is not the same as the right stock.
