Help CenterIf you find that all your products have been sold and are currently out of stock, don't worry! At ARC, we understand that inventory management is a critical aspect of your business, and we're here to guide you on what we do and what you are to do next.
1. Assess Your Capital Availability
The first step in addressing this situation is to assess the capital available for redeployment. Assuming you have capital on hand, we have two main processes to follow:
a. Repurchase Inventory
If you have sufficient capital available, we will assess product demand and consider repurchasing the same or similar inventory to restock your store. Restocking allows you to maintain a continuous presence in the market and meet customer demand without downtime.
b. Select New Products
If you have capital avaiable, but if upon assessing product demand and we see a decline, we may explore the option of selecting new products to add to your store. Diversifying your product offerings can be an effective strategy to expand your business and cater to different customer preferences.
2. Reuse Credit or Capital Float
It's important to note that the credit or capital float used to purchase products can be reused for either repurchasing inventory or selecting new products. This flexibility allows us to adapt your strategy based on your business goals and available resources.
Many of our customers have allocated additional capital on the sidelines specifically for situations like this. This practice ensures that your store can continue to operate smoothly, even during inventory turnover periods.
3. Prepare for Store Payout Delays
In the world of e-commerce, especially selling on Amazon, from time to time store payout delays can occasionally occur, and these delays are often beyond ARC's control. To mitigate the impact of such delays, it's wise to have an allocated amount of capital set aside for inventory purchases while waiting for payouts from platforms like Amazon.
This financial cushion helps you maintain inventory levels, fulfill customer orders, and keep your business running smoothly during payout delays, ensuring that you can meet customer expectations without disruptions.
Conclusion
In summary, if all your products are sold and out of stock, we proceed with the following process.
- Assess your available capital
- Decide whether to repurchase inventory or select new products
- Make use of your credit or capital float as needed. By being proactive and planning for store payout delays and having allocated capital on hand, you can ensure that your business remains resilient and continues to thrive.
