According to a recent survey of retailers 58% reported having less than 80% inventory accuracy. That means every time a consumer orders a product, there’s a 20% chance the product they want isn’t even available. There’s also the case where the stock is available somewhere (maybe in a store) but it doesn't show up online. Then it's a double whammy: The customer doesn't get what they want, and the retailer can't make the sale even though they have the item. So what can be done to fix the problem?

Good article on the importance of accurate data both to customer experience and to growing sales. "Retailers have a massive amount of stock and data to track it from warehouses to stores. With all that inventory moving around, it needs to be updated as close as possible to real-time, to know what’s actually in stock and where it is. Retailers with modern inventory-control and order-management systems can use a data-driven approach to update their inventory at unprecedented levels of speed and accuracy. They are significantly reducing the chances of accidental over- or underselling of products." #dataquality #forecasting #inventory

Fantastic article by Nicola Kinsella which highlights the inventory accuracy dilemma that I know Australian retailers are facing. According to a recent survey of 1,003 retailers and direct-to-consumer brands, 58% reported having less than 80% inventory accuracy. That means every time a consumer orders a product, there’s a 20% chance the product they want isn’t even available. Retailers have a massive amount of stock and data to track it from warehouses to stores. With all that inventory moving around, it needs to be updated as close as possible to real-time, to know what’s actually in stock and where it is. Retailers with modern inventory-control and order-management systems can use a data-driven approach to update their inventory at unprecedented levels of speed and accuracy. They are significantly reducing the chances of accidental over- or underselling of products. A data-driven approach can mean synchronizing sales channels with the latest inventory levels. These systems enable retailers to quickly spot trends and manage their stock accordingly. During high-demand periods such as back-to-school or holiday periods, this method becomes even more beneficial. Retailers are better able to align their aggressive marketing campaigns with fluctuating inventory.

“Imagine that you’re scrolling through the social media platform of your choice, see something you love, and click on it — only to learn that it’s out of stock. A study by the IHL Group found that retailers miss out on nearly $1 trillion in sales per year because of out-of-stock items.” $1 trillion.
