Challenges
- Unit mix – Pcs, kg, meters, boxes
- Many variants – Size, material, brand
- Heavy/bulk – Storage and handling
- Seasonal – Monsoon, construction cycles
Tips
- Track in appropriate units (pcs vs kg)
- Keep popular sizes in stock
- Group by category (electrical, plumbing, etc.)
- Reorder based on sales velocity
