Stock Level Optimisation

Start by analysing last year's data to forecast demand by product category and regional preferences. Think about setting up automated inventory tracking across all sales channels and configure low-stock alerts with sufficient lead time for emergency restocking.

Having a process for stock checking and a dashboard so you can keep a track of everything leading up to Black Friday can be really useful as you plan your seasonal restock.
