Avoid seasonal and trend-driven markdown exposure

SHARED INVENTORY | FOR BUSINESS OWNERS
For retailersAvoid leftover stock
Do not buy tomorrow’s markdown inventory just to create today’s sales.
Leftovers consume purchase cash, storage, counting, markdowns, disposal and management attention. Shared-inventory products are transacted only after a sale, so the retailer does not accumulate physical stock.

UNIT ECONOMICS
A simple numerical example
*Illustrative only. This is not a guarantee of sales or profit.
- Twenty products × five units creates responsibility for 100 units
- Shared inventory can list twenty products with zero units owned in advance
- Only sold items move into payment and fulfilment
How to start
Synchronise available quantity and sales status
Reserve inventory when an order arrives
Update every storefront after a sale or cancellation
FIT CHECK
A good fit when
- Markdowns are consuming gross profit
- Stocktaking gets heavier with every new SKU
- You want to test seasonal or trend products
Before you discard it—or buy it—test one product.
