Find slow-moving and dead stock

Slow-moving stock sells rarely; dead stock hasn’t moved at all in a long time. Both tie up cash and shelf space — and both are easy to spot in Klovio.

Find it

Use the inventory movement report or sort the on-hand view by last movement date. Stock with no shipment in 60, 90 or 180 days is your slow and dead inventory.

Why it costs you

• Cash — money sitting on a shelf instead of in faster-moving lines
• Space — prime pick locations occupied by stock nobody wants
• Risk — the longer it sits, the more likely it expires, obsoletes or gets damaged

What to do with it

• Discount or bundle it to move it out
• Relocate it out of prime pick bins into overflow — see Transfer stock
• Write it off if it’s genuinely unsellable — a counted adjustment
• Stop reordering — drop or lower its reorder point

Make it routine

Review slow-movers monthly. Caught early, slow stock can still be discounted out. Left a year, it’s a write-off.

Tip: before discounting, check it isn’t slow simply because it’s in a bad location. Sometimes “dead” stock just moved to a bin no picker walks past.
