Dead stock, ABC analysis, size-curve coverage
See which SKUs aren’t pulling their weight, which outlets are short on bestsellers, which size-curves are broken. The merchandising decision is data-driven, not memory-driven.
Part of HelloBooks POS · Multi-store / chain ops
A retailer with 10,000 SKUs across 50 outlets is running thousands of micro-decisions every week — what to mark down, what to transfer, what to discontinue. HelloBooks turns that decision-making from a hunch into a dashboard.
Every detail, dialled in
Built for the till, validated against the canonical accounting engine — so every POS sale closes the books cleanly.
ABC analysis per outlet
A items drive 80% of revenue with 20% of SKUs; C items are slow movers. The engine classifies per outlet (because what is A in a metro is C in a tier-2 town) and surfaces the mix.
- Per-outlet ABC classification
- Revenue + units + margin views
- Weekly recompute
- Watchlist for slipping items
Dead stock surfacing
Stock that hasn’t moved in N weeks at an outlet — flagged as dead stock with a recommended action: transfer, mark down, return-to-vendor, or write-off.
- No-sale threshold per category
- Per-SKU dead-stock value
- Action recommendation
- Trend over time
Size-curve coverage
For apparel and footwear, size-curve health is the silent killer. The engine shows the coverage of each size in each style at each outlet — and the gap to the ideal curve.
- Per-style size-curve view
- Coverage % per size
- Outlet-level gap analysis
- Auto-feeds replenishment

Questions, answered
How is dead-stock threshold set?
Per category — fashion uses 6-8 weeks, electronics uses 12 weeks, FMCG uses 4 weeks. Configurable per category.
Does ABC consider margin or just revenue?
Both views available. Margin-driven ABC often differs meaningfully from revenue-driven for fashion and beauty.
Can I export to Excel for category review?
Yes — every view exports. Buyers love this for monthly category meetings.
What about seasonal size-curves?
Per-season size curves are configurable; the engine compares actual coverage to the seasonal ideal.
