We’ve Found the Villain Of Your Inventory Problems

By reshma@delium.co | Published on 15 May 2025
In the world of retail and supply chain, Inventory is both an asset and a liability. You depend on it to drive sales, but when mismanaged, it eats into margins, ties up working capital, and creates operational chaos.
Retailers often blame suppliers, software, or staff when things go wrong. But look closer —the real culprit might be staring at you in the mirror.Yes, we’re talking about you — the founder, the manager, the decision-maker.
Don’t take offense — take action. This blog is your mirror, your diagnosis, and your fix.
These issues aren’t about capability — they come from solving today’s challenges with yesterday’s methods.

Your Gut Can’t Handle 20,000+ SKUs

Decisions based on emotion, habit, or guesswork might’ve worked before. But with dynamic demand and 20,000+ SKUs, gut instinct isn’t just outdated — it’s dangerous.

It clutters shelves with slow-movers and leads to stockouts of essentials — customers leave disappointed, panic reorders follow, and capital gets stuck where it shouldn't.

“I’m still doing decent sales,” you say. Or, “I’ve been in this game for years.” But those beliefs hide the truth.

₹300 of idle stock across 40% of your 20,000 SKUs means ₹24,00,000 locked in. That’s ₹24 lakh doing nothing while your top-sellers vanish from shelves.

Transform Your Retail Operations with AI Reordering

AI doesn’t just crunch numbers — it transforms them into smart, timely, and profitable actions. It balances stock with real-time demand and helps you stay lean, not empty.
