Inventory Velocity: Managing Stock for the 10.10 Sale

As we approach the 10.10 Sale, your metric of success is no longer "Stock on Hand"—it is Inventory Velocity. How fast can you turn a pallet into profit?

 

The 'First-In, First-Out' (FIFO) Audit

With the humidity of October, items that sit in the back of the warehouse are at risk.

• The Action: Perform a "Pallet Rotation" this weekend. Ensure your October arrivals are placed behind your September stock. In the rush of 10.10, pickers will naturally grab the easiest box. If that’s the newest box, your older stock becomes "Vulnerable Inventory."

 

High-Velocity SKUs

Identify your "Top 5" products from the 9.9 sale.

• The Strategy: Move these to the "Golden Zone"—the area of your warehouse closest to the packing stations. Reducing the "Step Count" for your pickers by even 10% can increase your 10.10 fulfillment capacity by 500 orders per day.

 

The 'Flash' Mentality

10.10 is the day to be aggressive with "Flash Liquidations" of your H1 laggards.

• The Goal: Every square meter of warehouse space cleared on October 10th is space available for your high-margin 11.11 arrivals. Think of 10.10 as an Operational Cleanup that pays for itself.
