Inventory rotates too fast to be purchased according to individual SKUs. Your cusotmers don't think of products like that anyway.
When 80% of retail inventory is made up of rotating stock, you need to be ordering by SKU groups.
Difference between what retailers do or don't buy and actual customer demand
Average overstock amount, per month per store, for the average retailer
“I need to reup, I’m going to grab an ounce of flower” or “We’re going out tonight, I should grab some infused prerolls”
They go to your menu or store, they ask what you have for infused prerolls, or what options for sativa flower you have on the shelf.
They peruse the options you have that fit their need and buy the ones that sound/look/are the best for them.
They aren’t looking for a single brand nor are they looking for a major category. They aren’t saying “show me your prerolls” when they want an infused 1g cone. Neither are they always saying “what Jeeter infused preroll options do you have?”
But that’s how so many retailers are purchasing inventory.
Buying solely by SKU or by major category leaves your inventory counts 20-30% inaccurate at best. You always end up overstocking products that don’t move as well as understocking products that do.
