Inventory management tips for kirana stores

How to reduce dead stock, set low-stock alerts, and keep your shelves aligned with what customers actually buy.

Kirana stores carry fast-moving and slow-moving items side by side. Without stock discipline, cash gets stuck in dead inventory while bestsellers run out.

Start with accurate opening stock, then record purchases and sales consistently. Low-stock alerts help you reorder before customers ask for items you don't have.

Review slow movers monthly. A simple sales-vs-stock report often shows which items to promote, bundle, or stop reordering.
