approach of controlling the stock via right inventory management techniques provides a peace, clarity and a steady growth. Many Indian businesses are troubled by overstocking, delays and unclear records. A smart approach saves money too. This blog discusses how to select the method that would be right without getting mixed up or confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea is simple to help retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, and traders to know what it&#8217;s all about. Each section gives practical steps that can be applied from the first day. Using improved tracking and timely decisions, any business can be ready and avoid wastage and carry the right quantity at every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_What_Your_Business_Really_Needs\"><\/span>Understanding What Your Business Really Needs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Map_How_Your_Stock_Moves\"><\/span>Map How Your Stock Moves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every business has a rhythm of its own. A pharmacy, a grocery store and an FMCG distributor transportation moves the stock differently. Before considering the choice of method, study:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How fast items move<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Seasonal swings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shelf-life limits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Supplier delivery time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Storage capacity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This helps avoid errors at a later stage by early in the mapping process. Many Indian retail chains do this exercise quarter on quarter to realign the decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"btn-div\">\n\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/me9.in\/MBB\" class=\"marg-btn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get Online Inventory Management Software<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Know_Your_Current_Gaps\"><\/span>Know Your Current Gaps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have difficulty with delays, mismatching numbers or slow moving stock. Identify the repeat histories of the problems. Once the pattern is clear, the choice of which way to go is much easier. A small store for clothing and a large warehouse do not require the same tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_Inventory_Methods_That_Fit_Your_Purpose\"><\/span>Choosing Inventory Methods That Fit Your Purpose<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ABC_Method_for_Prioritisation\"><\/span>ABC Method for Prioritisation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, you are able to concentrate attention on the most important items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A-items: Having high value and fast-moving<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>B-items: Moderate value Moderate movement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>C-items: Low value and slow moving<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Indian auto parts dealers largely do this when dealing with premium as well as routine parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FIFO_for_Perishable_Date-Sensitive_Stock\"><\/span>FIFO for Perishable &amp; Date-Sensitive Stock<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>FIFO is excellent for FMCG, food and pharma. The oldest unit leaves first. This prevents wastage and stops stocks from expiring under the inventory management techniques. Bakery units, dairy suppliers as well as medicine stores follow this approach quite naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LIFO_for_Certain_Manufacturing_Uses\"><\/span>LIFO for Certain Manufacturing Uses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some factories like LIFO to have rising input costs match up the recent purchases. This is mostly for internal cost tracking. It is suitable when the prices of raw materials vary frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Data_to_Strengthen_Decisions\"><\/span>Using Data to Strengthen Decisions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Study_Past_Sales\"><\/span>Study Past Sales<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Old data reveals patterns. For instance a wholesale kirana trader sees very obvious changes in demand patterns for festivals. By identifying the periods of high demand in advance, the trader can plan stock in great advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Digital_Tracking_Tools\"><\/span>Use Digital Tracking Tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In modern systems manual errors are minimized.

A <a href=\"https:\/\/margbooks.com\/gst-billing-software.html\">GST billing software<\/a> tool allows maintaining records and keeping invoices ready to file.
