Create The Retail Dead Stock Recovery Planner, an interactive tool that helps retailers decide what to do with inventory that is selling slowly or tying up working capital.
Allow users to import product records containing purchase cost, selling price, quantity on hand, age of stock, historical sales, storage costs, and supplier return conditions.
The application should:
Identify products with slow turnover using configurable definitions.
Calculate cash tied up in unsold inventory.
Estimate the cost of holding stock for additional periods.
Compare markdowns, bundles, supplier returns, transfers, and liquidation.
Model the profit impact of alternative clearance prices.
Account for demand uncertainty and limited promotion budgets.
Rank actions by expected cash recovery and operational effort.
Identify products that may be seasonal rather than permanently slow-moving.
Generate a prioritized stock recovery plan and exportable product list.
Include synthetic datasets for a convenience store, clothing retailer, and café. Make assumptions editable and distinguish historical sales from forecasts. Never assume that all old stock should be discounted immediately; account for seasonality, shelf life, and potential future demand.
