Smart Inventory Transfer Suggestions Across Stores

To help retailers improve cash flow and reduce unnecessary reordering, we’ve launched a smart inventory transfer strategy that lets you easily move products from low-performing stores to high-performing ones.

This option is now available directly within the Stock Transfer page under the "Load using Smart Transfer Logic" feature.

What Problem Are We Solving?

Many retailers find that while one store is sitting on unsold inventory, another is running out and placing a new order for the exact same product. This leads to:

• Cash tied up in overstocked items
• Missed sales in fast-moving locations
• Poor inventory turns

Our goal: Suggest inventory transfers based on real-time sales trends and store-level stock levels, so you make smarter use of what you already own.

How It Works

When creating a Stock Transfer under the load option, select Smart transfer:

• Source Store: The location with extra inventory
• Target Store: The location where the item is selling better
• Sales Duration: The period used to measure sales trends (e.g., 4 or 8 weeks)
• Stock Buffer: How many weeks of stock you want to keep at the source

The system reviews all products sold in both stores and analyzes recent sales to determine how much inventory can be safely transferred from the source without risking understocking, and how much is needed at the target to meet demand.

If the target store doesn’t have a configured minimum or maximum quantity, the system will apply safe defaults:

• If Max Qty is missing: Estimated using sales velocity × Buffer week
• If Min Qty is missing: Assumed to be 0 (so transfers are not blocked)

Only the most meaningful and actionable transfers are suggested.

Benefits

• Avoid overordering
• Improve inventory turns
• Free up cash from dead stock
• React quickly to shifting demand

Tips for Success

• Run this weekly or bi-weekly
• Use a 4-week sales window for most items
• Adjust buffer weeks based on category (e.g., use 3 for slower goods)
