Stock-outs and dead stock are the silent killers of B2B margins. A disciplined inventory system can cut both by more than half. Here is the playbook we recommend to Sellchase sellers.
Zone your warehouse
Split your warehouse into A, B and C zones by product velocity. Zone A (top 20% of SKUs, 80% of revenue) goes closest to the packing area. This alone cuts pick-time by 30%.
Calculate safety stock properly
Safety stock = Z × σ × √L, where Z is the service-level factor (1.65 for 95%), σ is daily demand variability, and L is lead time in days. Sellchase computes this automatically when you enable the auto-reorder feature.
Act on real-time alerts
Low-stock emails are useful — but only if you read them. Route inventory alerts to a dedicated Slack or WhatsApp channel so the purchasing team sees them within minutes.
Run monthly ABC reviews
SKU performance changes. Review which items moved between zones monthly and adjust reorder points accordingly.
Put these four practices in place and you will see stock-outs drop dramatically within one quarter.
