Convert obsolescence into working-capital advantage

From clearance to structural cure

We target slow-moving and redundant SKUs with segment-specific actions. Smart pricing, stock redeployment, and MOQ resets clear the backlog without hurting service. You get leaner inventory, more space in your warehouse, and working capital released for growth.

Data clarity, sustainable control

Clean master data, clear ownership, and focused KPIs make obsolescence manageable. Forecasts improve, decisions move faster, and reuse or disposal supports ESG targets without cutting into margin.

Scrutinise and categorise

Identify which stock can still be sold, why it’s not moving, and how to recover value.

Mobilise a sales strategy

Focus sales efforts on slow-moving stock with incentives, promotions, and bundling.

Actively promote and discount

Use structured discounts, exclusive deals, and marketing to move surplus efficiently.

Repurpose and rework

Rebrand, refurbish, or disassemble products to create new revenue opportunities.

Target secondary markets

Sell to discount retailers, liquidation buyers, or explore supplier return options.

Obsolescence management

Prioritise recycling and upcycling before scrapping to reduce waste and cost.

Inventory obsolescence

Our Solutions

  • Reducing excess and obsolete stock

    Ageing, redundant, and slow-moving items are identified and eliminated with segment-specific tactics that safeguard availability and customer satisfaction.

  • Freeing capital and space

    Working capital is unlocked and warehouse capacity released, creating liquidity for growth initiatives and resilience buffers.

  • Sharpening forecasting and planning

    Removing outdated SKUs clears up the demand picture, improving forecast accuracy and cutting both shortages and excess.

  • Streamlining operations

    Simpler inventory structures reduce hands-on effort, speed up decisions, and cut the hidden labour cost of managing aged stock.

  • Strengthening data integrity and reporting

    Accurate inventory records and clearer classifications rebuild trust in system outputs, enabling fact-based decisions across teams.

  • Embedding clear ownership

    Clear roles, action thresholds, and review routines keep inventory in check. Nothing gets overlooked and decisions happen when they should.

  • Advancing sustainability goals

    Responsible re-use, redistribution, or recycling programmes minimise landfill and strengthen ESG credentials while protecting the P&L.

  • Protecting profitability

    Fewer write-offs, lower holding cost, and better investment in fast-moving lines drive sustained margin improvement.

  • Learn, adapt, implement

    When SMART(O) becomes necessary, it signals a fundamental breakdown in process. Root cause analysis shows where the process has broken down. Identify the weakness, fix it, and stop recurring costly mistakes.

Hidden costs that erode margin

Dead stock ties up working capital, eats into warehouse space, clouds the demand picture, and leads to write-offs. If ignored, it distorts KPIs, delays investment, and creates avoidable waste that weakens ESG performance.

✗   Capital locked in non-moving SKUs

✗   Warehousing items no longer saleable or serviceable

✗   Poor inventory data disrupts planning

✗   Write-offs mounting; margins compressing

✗   Production slowed by uncertainty over usable stock

✗   Sustainability goals missed, disposal costs rising

From one-off clearance to enduring inventory control

We replace ad-hoc clearance with a systematic programme that prevents obsolescence at its source.

By correcting the forecasting, stocking, and decision-logic weaknesses that create redundant inventory, we give you durable control: lower risk, smoother flow, and tighter collaboration across teams, systems, and suppliers. If you are ready to convert dead stock into working capital and capacity.
