At The KGAC, we empower retailers by not just counting inventory, but by finding out why itโs not selling and providing actionable solutions to optimize stock management. Hereโs how we help:

โช๏ธ Through our inventory audits, we pinpoint slow-moving and stagnant products before they become a problem.
โช๏ธ We analyze sales trends, stock movement, and warehouse data to highlight items at risk of becoming dead stock.

โช๏ธ Our audits help retailers implement FEFO (First Expiry, First Out) & FIFO (First In, First Out) methods to keep stock fresh.
โช๏ธ We suggest realistic sales strategies, including product bundling, limited-time offers, and cross-selling techniques to clear slow-moving stock.

โช๏ธ We assess past purchase patterns and advise optimal stock levels, reducing over-ordering risks.
โช๏ธ We ensure that procurement aligns with actual demand, not just supplier promotions or bulk discounts.

โช๏ธ Dead stock in one location could be in demand elsewhere.
โช๏ธ We identify store-wise demand gaps and suggest redistribution before resorting to discounting or write-offs.

โช๏ธIf dead stock is unavoidable, we help retailers turn losses into opportunities through strategic clearance plans.
โช๏ธ Instead of panic discounts, we explore B2B bulk sales, online promotions, and seasonal event tie-ins to recover value.
