Prevent a write-off before the goods lose their value
A write-off is money spent twice: once to buy the goods, once to dispose of them. This product surfaces the risk early and proposes an action while the goods are still worth something.
What is wrong today
- Expiry becomes visible only at stocktake, or when a customer refuses at the till.
- Goods expire in one location while another is short of them.
- What was written off lands in demand, and the system orders more.
How it works
Not a list of items but an amount: what the goods that will not sell in time are worth at this location's current rate.
Exact batch, estimated from turnover, and manual verification required. These must never be mixed into one number, and on screen they never are.
Move it where it sells, mark it down, return it to the supplier, or block further purchasing — each with the numbers for what it achieves.
What it looks like in use
The date alone decides nothing. What decides is whether this location sells the stock before it.
| Item | Location | Expires | On hand | Will sell | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nourishing cream 75 ml | Location C | in 34 days | 120 | 40 pcs | mark down |
| Nourishing cream 75 ml | Location B | in 34 days | 20 | all of it | leave |
| Shampoo 400 ml | Location A | in 12 days | 64 | 18 pcs | move to B |
An anonymised example: locations are lettered and the dataset is shared across every screen on this site.
Who stays in control
Markdowns and returns are commercial decisions confirmed by a person. The system prepares the numbers and the document, but never changes a price or ships a return on its own.
How it is measured
Through a prevented-loss ledger: what was at risk, which action was taken, and what happened next.
