Umsatzverlust durch Bestandsdifferenzen zwischen Standorten

Definition

Australian wholesale hardware providers with several warehouses often manage inter‑branch transfers and replenishment with spreadsheets and disconnected systems, which is explicitly described as unsustainable for growing hardware wholesalers like Tradeware that operate six warehouses across the nation.[6] This lack of central, real‑time visibility of inventory per location leads to stockouts in one branch while excess stock sits idle in another, resulting in missed orders and forced price reductions to clear overstock. Modern solutions for wholesale and distribution emphasise that a distribution management system and multi‑location part tracking are essential to prevent stockouts and overstocks and to save money.[3] In multi‑location environments, even a conservative 1–3% of annual sales lost through preventable stockouts and margin‑eroding markdowns due to misbalanced inventory translates into substantial revenue leakage for mid‑sized wholesalers.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Wholesale hardware and plumbing distributors in Australia 🇦🇺 waste AUD 200,000–600,000 pro Jahr on lost sales and forced discounts caused by poor visibility of stock across branches. Automation of multi‑location stock updates and transfer workflows eliminates this revenue drain.
