In this episode, Blake runs a quarterly SKU audit for solo merchants whose inventory counts drift enough to create storage fees and stockouts. The focus is a laptop-scale count check, not a warehouse overhaul.
What You'll Learn:
• Why small count errors show up as cash drain through storage fees and lost sales
• How to prioritize the top twenty percent of SKUs by sales volume first
• Which ninety-day velocity gaps signal overstock versus understock
• How days-of-supply over forty-five days becomes a markdown or removal list
• The twenty-minute task: verify counts for the first five SKUs in your best-seller category
Worksheet:
Pull ninety days of sales and on-hand counts. Sort by days of supply. Cross-check physical bins for high-cost and zero-movement items, then mark each SKU as keep, markdown, or remove before the next payout cycle.
Recommended Resources:
• Shopify inventory management overview: https://help.shopify.com/en/ma...
• Amazon seller inventory and storage fee help: https://sellercentral.amazon.c...
