Prerequisites
- ✓ E-commerce or marketplace platform with inventory and sales data
- ✓ Minimum data: 90 days of sales history and current inventory levels
- ✓ Optimal: 12+ months to separate seasonal items from true dead stock
- ℹ️ COGS data recommended for accurate cash-tied-up calculation; bundle/markdown suggestions based on category and historical discount performance
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you avoid flagging seasonal items as dead stock?
We compare to the same period last year. Winter coats with no summer sales aren't flagged if they sold well last winter.
What if I just launched some products?
Items listed less than 90 days are excluded from dead stock analysis - they haven't had time to prove velocity yet.
How do bundle suggestions work?
We analyze which products are frequently bought together, then suggest pairing your dead SKUs with hot sellers.
Should I markdown on my store or liquidate on eBay?
We recommend eBay for truly dead items (6+ months no sale) and on-site markdowns for slower movers you want to clear at lower loss.
