Dead stock reduction
Surface slow movers early and reallocate before margin erodes across the network.
Decision question
Which inventory is tying up cash, where is it stuck, and what should happen next?
Decision layer
Dead stock exposure view
The operating view connects source systems, shared definitions, and the decision output the team needs.

What breaks today
- Aging inventory is visible as units but not always as margin or cash exposure.
- Slow movers are reviewed after they become write-off conversations.
- Disposition ownership is unclear across operations, finance, and merchandising.
Signals required
- Inventory age by SKU, location, and channel
- Unit exposure and dollar exposure side by side
- Sell-through, margin, and discount history
- Transfer, markdown, bundle, return, or exit paths
Aethrix approach
- Tie stock aging to policy and financial exposure.
- Rank action paths by location, margin, and operational constraint.
- Create a review loop that assigns ownership before the report goes stale.
Better decisions before heavier automation
The first implementation should make the operating decision cleaner, faster, and easier to defend. Hard ROI belongs in customer-approved case studies, not invented claims.
Earlier visibility into slow-moving stock
Cleaner tradeoffs between margin, cash, and service level
Less dead inventory hiding in disconnected reports
