How a Hardware Retailer Reduced 50% Dead Stock in Just 60 Days!

🧩 The Problem

Shree Laxmi Hardware, a popular wholesale-retail shop in Indore, was struggling.

Old stock kept piling up; new stock couldn’t move fast
📊 No track of fast vs. slow-moving items
🧍‍♂️ Managers manually checked inventory sheets
🤯 Frequent customer complaints of items “not available” despite full godown
🧾 Wasted money on over-ordering the same products

Owner Rajesh ji put it simply:
“We had no idea what was actually selling and what was just gathering dust.”

💡 The Solution

  • Rajesh ji decided to go digital with our ERP system. Here’s how the magic happened:

    Step by step:

1️⃣ Step 1: Inventory Dashboard Setup —

  • Live dashboard showed real-time stock levels, reorder alerts, and dead stock identification across categories.

2️⃣ Step 2: Enabled HR + Attendance Tracking —

  • Store staff attendance, shifts, and daily tasks were fully automated.

    No more confusion like: “Did this guy even show up today?”

    Everything was tracked — live and accurate.

3️⃣ Step 3: WhatsApp + CRM Integration —

  • Follow-ups with vendors and major clients were automated.

    For example: “Sir, this product is now back in stock!” — an auto WhatsApp alert → quick reorders, no manual follow-ups.

4️⃣ Step 4: Purchase & Vendor Managements —

  • Linked purchases to demand + stopped duplicate orders.
    Only purchase what’s moving → stop filling warehouse with unsold stock.

5️⃣ Step 5: Expense & Leakage Reporting —

  • Daily expense tracking caught wastage like broken products, expired stock, or returns.
