Frequently Asked Questions Accurate inventory data is essential for smooth operations, loss prevention, and data-driven decision-making. Keeping stock records aligned with physical inventory constantly challenges companies managing multiple stores. This case study shows how InCorp helped a leading retailer improve its inventory accuracy. We achieved this through effective stocktaking management and careful stock opname practices. Why Stocktaking Management and Stock Opname Matter in Retail The fashion and sports retail industry is complex due to factors such as: High SKU Count: SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is a unique code assigned to each product variant (size, color, style). Seasonal Inventory Fluctuations: Frequent product changes depending on seasons or trends. Fast-moving Stock: Products that sell quickly and require constant replenishment. In this environment, stock opname, the process of physically counting and verifying stock, plays an important role. This case study shows that combining stock opname with professional stocktaking management helps retailers avoid discrepancies, prevent losses, and maintain reliable inventory data. Inventory Challenges Faced by the Client The retailer faced significant challenges in validating the consistency between physical stock and system records across multiple locations. These included: Frequent discrepancies despite regular stock opname. Inefficient manual processes are slowing down stocktaking. Lack of real-time visibility is impacting sales and audits. Difficulty in tracking and analyzing stock variances. Without structured management and proper stock opname procedures, these issues can escalate into revenue loss and operational inefficiency. However, as described in this case study, these challenges can be effectively managed with the right solutions in place, providing a sense of relief and reassurance.
