Request a driver Talk to operations

• Monday: fast-moving SKU check
• Tuesday: supplier confirmation
• Wednesday: main bulk transfer
• Friday: top-up for weekend demand

A stable rhythm beats emergency purchases.

Sort products by movement urgency

Create three tiers:

• Daily movers: must not stock out
• Frequent movers: restock twice weekly
• Slow movers: scheduled monthly

The goal is to move volume where turnover justifies it.

Packaging rules for market stock

• Pack by category, not by supplier
• Keep fragile items separate
• Label destination shelf section
• Use clear carton counts for receiving team

If receiving cannot sort fast, your sales floor suffers.

Route batching tips

When pickups are nearby, combine movements in one trip plan. Multi-stop clarity helps drivers estimate accurately and reduces confusion at handover.

KPI set for shop owners

Track weekly:

• stockout count
• emergency-trip count
• average restock turnaround
• logistics cost vs sales

This gives you control over inventory movement decisions.
