Inventory here fails in volume, not drama.</p>\n\n<h2>ABC Your Shelf Space</h2>\n\n<p><strong>A items</strong> (fast movers): eye-level, easy count, never stockout if possible.<br>\n<strong>B items</strong>: steady sellers, weekly spot check.<br>\n<strong>C items</strong>: slow, high risk of expiry — order smaller, count monthly.</p>\n\n<h2>Expiry Is Inventory Too</h2>\n\n<p>Expired goods are silent loss. Rotate FIFO on food and cosmetics. Write off with a reason, not a trash bag in silence.</p>\n\n<h2>Receiving Is Non-Negotiable</h2>\n\n<p>Two pallets arrive while customers queue — temptation is to “enter later.” Later is how supermarkets lose margin. Same-day receiving: <a href=\"/blog/how-to-prevent-stock-loss\">prevent stock loss</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>Promo Discipline</h2>\n\n<p>Promo price without promo tracking confuses margin and staff. Record overrides clearly if your system allows — CashTrack tracks price changes with reason.</p>\n\n<h2>Barcodes at Scale</h2>\n\n<p>When SKU count explodes, search-by-memory dies.
