Why warehouse stocktaking is essential.

Need:

A National Make up Manufacturer required a warehouse stock take within one of their warehouses because

• They were unsure and unaware of stock levels
• Consignments going in and out of the warehouse unchecked
• Stock levels being undetermined could impact profitability
• Stock levels being unknown could impact availability within stores

Solution:

The National Make Up Manufacturer decided they needed

• To identify exact stock numbers
• To ensure they did not have excess  stock levels in any product lines
• To establish whether they are running at low stock levels for other product lines

Results:

Within the warehouses all cages were counted

• The National Make Up Manufacturer identified that testers and samples were in excess of the stock items expected
• They were able to redistribute the testers and samples to stores
• This saved the customer in excess of £30,000 as they did not need to reorder for over 8 months
