With the most wonderful time of the year drawing near, the season of endless shopping sprees is upon everyone. For Amazon sellers, this also means the season of challenging inventory management. The most common reasons for this are the following:
But it’s not the time to panic. We have studied and compiled every step you need to remember to sleigh inventory management during the fast approaching holidays.
Before we get to the crucial part, you should first recall the basics of inventory management.
The first step to an efficient inventory management is having a regular check-up of inventory levels to see if they match your records. This helps identify discrepancies between physical stock and recorded data to enable you to timely correct them.
Basically, Step 1 prevents inaccuracies such as stockouts and overstocking that could disrupt sales, fulfillment, and customer satisfaction.
The next step would be placing labels or product tags to your holiday goodies. This helps you to easily identify, organize, and retrieve products when necessary. By doing this, it will be easier for you to track your inventory.
Basically, Step 2 streamlines fulfillment processes during the high-demand season. For one, it ensures accurate and timely shipments which consequently minimizes errors or confusion in handling different items.
Now, you don’t want to be the one actually doing all these things when you have executive duties to work on, too, right? As a seller, you should free your hands from repetitive, administrative, and operational tasks to make room for strategy-making and the actual selling. So who’s going to help you?
For sellers, the holiday rush is both a blessing and a headache.
