Manage your stock rotations

High frequency inventory turnover reflects excellent inventory management through cloud based inventory management software, the cost of which is minimized due to rapid turnover. Thus, the amortization of fixed costs is spread over a larger number of goods, which in turn increases the profitability of a company.

Depending on the areas of activity, stock rotations may be more or less frequent. They must be calculated and analyzed according to various parameters such as the length of an operating cycle and the seasonality of the activity.

Stock turnover performance indicators

There are two performance indicators to measure the quality of cloud based inventory management software: inventory turnover rate and average storage time.

The turnover rate is used to estimate the number of complete renewals of the stock to reach a certain amount of turnover over a given period. The average storage time, on the other hand, indicates the average storage time of an item in number of days. The shorter the better.

Method of calculating inventory turnover

The calculation of the inventory turnover rate is carried out in two stages.

Calculation of the average stock over a given period

If you don't know the beginning or ending stock, you can't calculate the average stock. So we can use the actual stock measured after inventory.

Calculation of turnover rate

The higher the turnover rate, the better the profitability.

Benefits of inventory management software

With inventory management software, you can easily:

  • manage entries and exits,
  • set up a minimum and a maximum stock in order to manage automatic replenishments,
  • know the elements in stocks in real time,
  • have a history of the movements of your stocks

In addition, this type of software is particularly relevant to reconcile theoretical stocks and physical stocks during inventories, but also to carry out labeling, manage barcodes, etc.

Stock is at the heart of your distribution strategy. It is increasingly important that your theoretical information about your stocks be as close to reality as possible, which good stock management software should easily allow you to do.
