Q & A

Why is it important to conduct a stock opname (inventory check) after a busy holiday period?

A stock opname helps store owners assess their remaining stock and determine the value of their assets after a busy sales period, allowing them to manage their inventory effectively and avoid guesswork.

What are the benefits of knowing the exact value of your store's assets?

Knowing the exact value allows store owners to confidently answer questions about their stock and capital, ensuring they can plan for restocking and budgeting more effectively.

How can conducting a stock opname help when discussing store needs with others?

It helps store owners answer questions like how much capital is needed to restock the store or how much is invested in inventory, providing clear and accurate information.

What should store owners do if they find expired goods during their stock check?

Store owners should separate expired goods from the rest of the inventory and return them to the supplier or discard them if returning isn't an option, to avoid selling products that could harm their reputation.

Why is it important to check the condition of product packaging during a stock check?

Checking packaging ensures that only products with intact and presentable packaging are sold. Damaged or unattractive packaging can discourage customers and damage the store’s reputation.

What could happen if expired or damaged products are sold?

Selling expired or damaged products can lead to customer dissatisfaction, tarnish the store’s image, and ultimately cause loss of business as customers may avoid shopping at the store in the future.

How often should store owners perform inventory checks?

It is recommended that store owners perform inventory checks at least once a month to ensure the stock remains fresh, monitor expiry dates, and keep products in good condition.

What should be done with damaged goods that can’t be returned to suppliers?

If damaged goods cannot be returned to suppliers, the best course of action is to discard them instead of attempting to sell them, to avoid damaging the store’s reputation.

Why should store owners avoid selling expired products, even if they remove expiration labels?

Even if expiration labels are removed, the quality of the product remains compromised. Selling expired items can lead to customer complaints and loss of trust, ultimately harming the business.

How can regular stock checks help prevent future issues with inventory?

Regular checks help store owners stay on top of product conditions and expiry dates, ensuring they do not unknowingly sell expired or damaged products, keeping their stock fresh and their reputation intact.
