Every Nigerian business owner has experienced that sinking feeling when a customer asks for a product, and… it’s nowhere to be found. Inventory problems aren’t just frustrating; they can lead to lost sales, damage your reputation, and hold your business back. But it doesn’t have to be this way! Let’s dive into some common inventory nightmares and see how Bigmerchant can turn them into success stories.
Nightmare #1: The Stockout Surprise
“I had a customer ready to buy a large quantity of my most popular item. But when I went to the storage room… empty shelves! Turns out, I’d forgotten to re-order after a busy season. I lost the sale and the customer’s trust.” – Kemi, Fashion Retailer
- Bigmerchant Solution: Automated low-stock alerts, customizable for each product. Get notified by email or text when inventory falls below your threshold, so you have time to order and avoid disappointing customers.
Nightmare #2: The Mystery of the Missing Items
“Sometimes products just vanish. Is it theft? Did they get mislabeled and are hiding in some corner of the warehouse? I spend hours searching, and that’s time I don’t have.” – Dapo, Electronics Wholesaler
- Bigmerchant Solution: Real-time inventory tracking. Every sale, return, or adjustment is reflected instantly. This minimizes discrepancies and gives you tools to pinpoint where shrinkage might be occurring.
Nightmare #3: Overspending and Overflowing Storage
