How to Prevent Stockouts – Never Run Out of Best Sellers

Stockouts mean lost sales and unhappy customers. Here’s how to avoid them.

Why Stockouts Happen

• No system – You don’t know when to reorder
• Forgetting – Busy with daily work, reorder slips your mind
• Wrong focus – Ordering slow movers, ignoring fast movers
• Supplier delays – Didn’t order early enough

Simple Prevention Tips

1. Set minimum levels – When stock hits X, reorder
2. Track fast movers – Focus on top 20% of products
3. Lead time buffer – Order before you need it (supplier takes 3 days? Order when 5 days stock left)
4. Use alerts – Get notified when stock is low
