इन्वेंटरी संकुचन (Inventory Shrinkage)
Definition
Manual cycle counting without real-time tracking results in inventory shrinkage from theft, misplacement, or recording errors, common in hardware wholesale with high-value plumbing items.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹2-5% of annual inventory value (industry standard for shrinkage in retail/wholesale); equivalent to ₹5-20 lakh for ₹1 crore inventory
- Frequency: Ongoing, detected during annual audits or cycle counts
- Root Cause: Manual counting errors, lack of real-time visibility, idle periods allowing theft
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Wholesale hardware players in India waste ₹2-5% of inventory value annually on shrinkage. Automation of cycle counting eliminates counting errors and theft risks.
