Warehouse managers struggle to optimize inventory turnover and reduce excess stock holding costs
Costco and similar bulk retailers face constant pressure to balance inventory levels—holding too much ties up capital and increases storage costs, while holding too little creates stockouts and lost sales. Current inventory management systems fail to account for seasonal demand fluctuations, regional preferences, and supply chain disruptions in real-time, forcing managers to make costly guesses about what to stock.
