⚠️ Two Extremes of Inventory Loss of Control
- ⊗Dead Stock End: Wrong product selection or market change, large quantities stuck in PH warehouse, daily storage fees, clearance at a loss.
- ⊗Stockout End: Bestseller suddenly goes viral, inventory consumed faster than expected, orders unfulfillable during 15-day sea freight restock wait.
- ⊗Data Blind Spot: No real-time inventory data, unknown actual remaining quantity per SKU, judging restock timing by gut feeling.
- ⊗Multi-platform Overselling: Shopee, TikTok, Lazada each have separate inventory settings, total easily mismatches, overselling causes order cancellations.
