Track the unit you sell

If customers buy 1 L and 500 ml separately, stock those packs separately. One “milk” bucket creates checkout errors.

Habits that help

  1. 1

    Update after purchases

    New stock should hit availability quickly.

  2. 2

    Hide or zero dead SKUs

    Do not leave ghost products buyable.

  3. 3

    Start narrow

    Fewer accurate SKUs beat many wrong ones.

  4. 4

    Reconcile weekly

    Compare shelf to system for top movers.
